Intrathoracic application of the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap.
The intrathoracic technique, application, and merits of the latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap are presented by the single-stage repair of a presumed postirradiation tracheoesophageal fistula. This etiology, if indeed true, has not been demonstrated, nor has this extension to the flap's many possible uses been previously described.

Basal cell carcinoma arising in a smallpox vaccination site.
A case of pigmented basal cell carcinoma developing in a smallpox revaccination site is presented. Any progressive change within a smallpox vaccination scar should be thoroughly evaluated and treated appropriately after tissue diagnosis.

Successful lymph node transplantation in rats, with restoration of lymphatic function.
After doing a popliteal lymphadenectomy in rats, we were able to transfer a mass of inguinal nodes to the area, either on an island pedicle of the superficial epigastric vessels, or as a free flap by microvascular anastomoses. The transplants survived and at 7 days were able to entrap india ink particles, or particles of radioactive gold, injected in the distal part of the extremity.

Technetium-99m stannous phytate as an imaging agent for lymph nodes.
This report describes preliminary results using technetium-99m stannous phytate as a lymph-node imaging agent in animals. After the subcutaneous administration there is good visualization of the draining nodes, best obtained 2-4 hr from the time of injection. There is also visualization of the liver, spleen, kidneys, and bladder. This agent appears suitable for lymph-node imaging in areas where the extranodal concentration does not interfere.

Concomitant acute lupus erythematosus and primary pneumococcal peritonitis.
The acute surgical abdomen, a synonym for peritonitis requiring surgical intervention, can be mimicked by lupus peritonitis and, in children, by pneumococcal peritonitis. The former is best treated by systemic steroids and, the latter by penicillin; neither is well served by surgical intervention. We have reported here a young woman with the concomitant occurrence of both conditions. If peritoneal tap and immediate bacteriologic gram staining of recovered aspirate were carried out in patients with a history of acute lupus, such similar cases could be detected preoperatively. An attempt at antibiotic treatment could then be instituted as a first measure.
