[A new case of non-secreting adrenocortical tumor in a child].

Adrenocortical tumors are very rare, especially in their non secretory form. A 15 years old boy was hospitalized for evolutive fever since 6 weeks associated with asthenia and abdominal pain. Infections hematological, neurological and system diseases were eliminated. Abdominal ultrasonography reveal a poly-lobular mass adherent to the spleen and the posterior wall of the stomach. This is confirmed by fibroscopy and barium swallow. Abdominal scanner and scintigraphy did not give any new etiological argument. X Ray thorax is normal. Laparotomy reveals a retro-gastric mass adherent by its superior extremity to the spleen. A complete excision is done. The pathological examination shows all the histologic features of adrenocortical carcinoma. Its extension to the spleen grade this tumour with a height malignancy. No chemotherapy was undertaken, only a clinical, ultrasound and radiography observation with a follow up of 13 months.

[Study of thyroid autoimmunity in man. Contribution of cell cultures to the study of antibodies stimulating the thyroid gland in Basedow's disease].

The value of thyroid cell cultures in vitro has been demonstrated in auto-immune thyroiditis in animals. We have used the same method in man to investigate for serum thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb) by measuring cyclic AMP production in thyroid cell cultures incubated with immunoglobulins from patients with Graves' disease. The specificity of the reaction is strictly directed either against TSH or against immunoglobulins from patients with Graves' disease; 92% of the sera of our untreated Graves' disease patients were positive. The value of this technique compared to the other methods used for detecting TSAb is discussed.

[Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma diagnosed antenatally].

A case of congenital embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the right shoulder is described. The patient was the first child born to a 24 year-old woman who had previously been treated for sterility. The diagnosis was made by echography during the 36th week of gestation. This full term white boy was born by cesarean section because of the tumor size. Surgical treatment was completed by chemotherapy. Despite 4 courses of VAC, local recurrence was noted that led to a second surgical excision followed by a new cyclic chemotherapy (IVA). The treatment was fairly well tolerated. The child is well 24 months later.
