[The frequency of intravital not detected tuberculosis in autopsies (author's transl)].

The analysis of 41 576 autopsies in the years from 1962 till 1978 revealed a total amount of 872 cases of active tuberculosis. In this time the percentage of tuberculosis mortality decreased from 3.3% (1962) to 0.9% (1978) of all autopsies. An increase of ante mortem not detected cases of tuberculosis with a high rate of generalised miliar tuberculosis could be demonstrated in our observations. Especially in high age patients exacerbations of tuberculosis should be considered. In diseases with clinical symptoms of the hematopoetic system tuberculosis should be taken into considerations of differential diagnosis.

[Polypous nonchromaffin paraganglioma of the stomach].

It is reported on the unusual position of a nonchromaffin paraganglioma in the stomach, which in gastroscopy imposed as polyp and was removed. On the basis of the light-microscopic picture, its behaviour during staining and the electronmicroscopic investigations the tumour is classified in the group of the paragangliomata. Since there are no unequivocal histological criteria of malignity, on account of the well-known slow growth of these tumour only the polyp is removed.

[Idiopathic adrenal cortex dystrophy with the clinical picture of Addison's disease].

Clinical and autopsy findings are reported of three cases of Addisons disease due to idiopathic dystrophy of the adrenal cortex as seen in two women, 20 and 37 years of age respectively as well as a boy of 14 years. Idiopathic dystrophy of the adrenal cortex as a cause of Addisons disease has become aware of more and more frequently for some years. Its classification as an auto-aggression disease has been made a subject for discussion. Morphological findings and immunological investigations with three own cases confirm this conception. This disease should be reminded of with regard to the problem of clinically diagnosing it and the fatal prognosis of untreated cases.
