Clear cell hidradenocarcinoma--a case report with unusual in situ malignant changes.

Clear cell hidradenocarcinoma is a rare tumour, the histogenesis of which has been much debated in the past. However, it is now considered a tumour of sweat gland origin. Presented herewith is a report of a case with unusual histological features of in situ malignant changes within sweat glands. These changes very closely simulate lobular cancerisation of the breast. On reviewing the English literature on the histopathology of sweat gland tumours, we have not found similar histological findings. These histological findings provide supportive evidence of the sweat gland origin of these tumours.

Alveolar hydatid disease of the liver: first case report from man in Iraq.

Hydatid disease is endemic in Iraq, mainly in the north. At least 500 cases of infestation by Echinococcus granulosus are recognized each year. The first documented human case of E. multilocularis in the liver is reported from Iraq. The patient was a 40-year-old female farmer from the north who had never travelled outside her native town of Zakho.

Functional studies of lymph nodes infiltrated by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Cell cultures have been carried out using lymphoid cell suspensions derived from non-neoplastic human lymph nodes and nodes involved by non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Two mitogens, phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and/or pokeweed mitogen (PWM), were added to the cultures and the cytological changes assessed by light and electron microscopy. PHA was found to transform lymphocytes into larger cells whose ultrastructural features closely resembled those of germinal centre cells and some tumour cells found in malignant lymphomas. After 3 days' stimulation of malignant lymphoma cells with PWM, a cell population emerged with ultrastructural features similar to those cells described after 5-7 days stimulation of normal lymphocytes by PWM. Malignant lymphoma cells may thus be partially stimulated and possibly arrested at a certain stage in their transformation.
