New trial have shown that immediate regional lymph node dissection offers increased survival in patients with regional lymph node metastases only. Introduction of isotope technique to identify the first node, the sentinel node (SN), receiving lymph from a tumour area has made it possible to avoid node dissection in SN metastasis negative patients. The feasibility of the technique is illustrated by to examples.

[Hypophyseal hyperthyroidism. Non-tumoral hypersecretion of thyroid stimulating hormone with clinical hyperthyroidism].
A case of hyperthyroidism due to inappropriate TSH secretion in a 45-year-old man is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by measurement of increased serum TSH values using three different assays, increased T4 and T3 values, the clinical picture, and the effect of anti-thyroid treatment. Nuclear magnetic resonance and computerized tomographic scans of the pituitary fossa showed no abnormalities. Treatment with long-term oral thyrotropin-releasing hormone, oral triiodothyronine, and short-term subcutaneous Sandostatin injections resulted in partial suppression of TSH without however adequate clinical effect. Treatment with thyroxin, bromocriptine, and triiodothyroacetic acid did not alter the parameters. It is concluded, that the inappropriate TSH secretion may be due to a pituitary microadenoma.
