[Hürthle cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland].

The authors have analysed 9 cases of Hürthle cell thyroid carcinoma diagnosed on the bioptic material in the period 1975-1991. In 7 patients subtotal and in 2 total thyroidectomy was performed. In one patient only signs of metastases of the tumour in the region of the mediastinum, neck lymphatic nodes and brain developed and the patient died a year after surgery. For differential diagnosis of Hürthle cell thyroid carcinoma and Hürthle cell adenoma the authors recommend as necessary that beside the presence of the basic criteria for malignancy (infiltration of the capsule and adjacent tissue, invasion of the blood vessels, pleomorphism and pathologic mytoses) the electron microscopic examination and immunohistochemical methods should be also used which could be of a great help for establishment of a correct diagnosis on which depends further therapy as well.

[Tuberculous inflammation of the synovial membrane].

Four patients with tuberculous synovitis of the large joints are reported in whom primary tuberculous process has not been confirmed as a possible foci of spreading of the acidoresistant bacilli. The authors, describing in details the histologic picture of tuberculous synovitis, point out the importance of an early biopsy of the synovial membrane and obligatory microbiological confirmation of the established diagnosis.

[Personal experience in the treatment of tuberculosis in patients in war areas].

In the four-year period (1991-1995), 96 tuberculosis patients from the war areas of former Yugoslavia were treated in the Clinic for Lung Diseases of Military Medical Academy, that makes 31% of total number of sick and treated for tuberculosis-309 (100%). In group I (patients from war areas) there were 45 cases of cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis (47%), 28 bilateral (29%), 16 pleurisy (16.7%) and 6 cases of extensive pulmonary tuberculosis (5.1%). Among 213 patients (100%) from group II (patients from FR Yugoslavia), 81 patients had cavernous pulmonary tuberculosis (38%), 49 patients had bilateral (23%), 33 patients had pleurisy (15.5%) and 6 patients had extensive pulmonary tuberculosis (2.8%). In group I the diagnosis was bacteriologically and/or histopathologically proved in 94.8% cases: by finding of acid-resistant bacilli in sputum and other biological materials in 69 patients (72%), by positive Löwenstein's cultures in 73 patients (76%) and by histopathological result of tuberculosis inflammation in 34 patients (35.4%). In group II tuberculosis was bacteriologically and/or histopathologically proved in 134 patients (63%) by acid-resistant bacilli in sputum and other biological materials, in 141 patient (66%) by positive Löwenstein's culture and in 71 patient by positive histopathological results. Pulmonary tuberculosis in war areas is characterized by greater frequency of severe clinical forms (cavernous, bilateral and extensive) and by high direct bacillarity.

[Endobronchial metastases in extrapulmonary malignant tumors].

Endobronchial metastases of extrapulmonary malignant tumors are very rare and they appear in 1-2% of all the pulmonary metastases cases. By their endoscopic presentation, they are similar to primary bronchogenic carcinoma. Eleven patients with endobronchial metastases were presented, 8 male and 3 female. The average age was 58.27 years (from 37 to 72 years). Primary renal carcinoma existed in 2 patients. The one was operated 5 years before the metastases appeared in bronchus, and the metastases in bronchial wall contributed to the discovery of primary tumor in the other patient. Endobronchial metastases appeared in 3 patients, 2 years after the surgery of malignant colonic or rectal tumor, and in fourth patient it appeared 5 years after the surgery. One female patient sustained mastectomy and the radiation therapy was performed 11 years before the bronchial metastases occurred and the other female patient had the disease revealed a year ago and the polytherapy was performed. In the female patient with non Hodgkin Lymphoma, the change in bronchus was revealed simultaneously as the primary disease. Endobronchial metastases appeared in 2 patients two years after the surgery of malignant melanoma. The disease diagnosis was set by clinical-radiological examination, by endoscopy and by the comparison of histopathologic finding of primary carcinoma and metastases.
