[Endobronchial tuberculosis].

Eight hospitalized patients with endobronchial tuberculosis are reported. Diagnosis was reached in six patients by the demonstration of acid-alcohol resistant bacilli in the bronchial aspirate. In the fifth patient microscopic examination of the bacteria in the liquid obtained by aspiration of a paraspinal abscess was positive. In the last patient diagnosis was established by the positive growth in Lowenstein's medium of lymph node extracts. The clinical, radiologic, endoscopic and microbiologic features are discussed.

Laparoscopic findings in two adults with chickenpox.

We report the laparoscopic findings in two previously healthy adults with chickenpox and hepatic involvement. Both patients were admitted to hospital with severe upper right quadrant abdominal pain coinciding with the skin rash. Liver function tests were abnormal. In case 1, round lesions with a necrotic center, 2 mm in diameter, in both hepatic lobes were observed. Morphologically they resembled the rash on the skin. Numerous granular lesions were also demonstrated. In case 2, laparoscopic examination was performed recently when the cutaneous rash had faded. Granular images were scarce; there was enlargement of the liver capsule with small depressed areas of pink color. These lesions were considered similar to those found in case 1, although in a more advanced stage of scarring and resolution. Both patients made a good recovery.

Laparoscopic findings in eight cases of liver fascioliasis.

Laparoscopic findings observed in eight patients with fascioliasis are described, five cases in the invasive or acute phase of liver distomatosis, and three cases in the chronic phase. In all cases yellowish-white nodules of 1 to 4 mm in diameter were seen on the liver surface, and in four patients they also appeared on the parietal peritoneum. Close to these nodules, ribbed or vermiform formations of a color and consistency similar to that of the nodules were observed in five patients. It is thought that these findings correspond to parasitic microabscesses in contact with intrahepatic bile ducts. Other findings were areas of capsular thickening, adhesions, dilation of subcapsular lymph vessels and flattened zones of a cicatricial aspect. This last feature appeared only in the chronic form of the disease.

Gastroscopic findings in systemic mastocytosis.

We report on the gastroscopic findings in a patient with systemic mastocytosis. It should be noted that the presence of "urticaria-like" lesions in the gastric mucosa is the most characteristic endoscopic picture in this rare disease.
