Benign renal angiomyolipoma with regional lymph node involvement.

The 2 cases reported herein involve benign renal angiomyolipomas, showing the same angiomyolipoma changes in the regional lymph nodes. It is concluded that these lymph node changes are caused by a multicentric origin of the angiomyolipoma rather than true metastasis. A plea is made not to over treat these tumors since all evidence points to the fact that they are indeed benign.

Mitochondrial creatine kinase. A poor prognostic sign.

A serum creatine kinase (CK) isoenzyme band cathodic to MM, thought to represent mitochondrial CK, was found in eight patients in shock, six of whom died within 12 days. Severe tissue damage appears to be required to release this isoenzyme to detectable levels in the serum.
