Painless fibro-osseous lesion of the rib resembling osteoid osteoma: a report of six cases.

Six cases of an unusual fibro-osseous rib lesion are presented. These six lesions were asymptomatic, and five were found incidentally as solitary hot spots on bone scans which had been performed to rule out metastatic carcinoma. One was found incidentally in a rib resected for another reason. Histologically, these painless lesions most closely resemble osteoid osteomas. This study also documents that solitary rib hot spots are almost always benign even if the patient has a primary carcinoma.

Effects of retinoids on invasion of organ cultures of chick chorioallantoic membrane by adenovirus transformed cells.

Invasion of chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) organ cultures by rat 3Y1 cells transformed by the highly oncogenic human adenovirus type 12 (3Y1/12-10 cells) was inhibited by several retinoids tested. The anti-invasive activity of the retinoids was dependent on retinoid concentration and continuous (4 d) exposure of the CAM. The 50% retinoid dose (dose effective in achieving a response in half of the organ cultures) that inhibited invasion was 0.85 micrograms/ml of retinol palmitate, 0.39 micrograms/ml of retinoic acid, or 0.16 micrograms/ml of retinol acetate. This dose was of the same order of magnitude as that which induced CAM differentiation, and was three- to fourfold less than the dose that caused cytotoxic damage of CAM. In addition, the retinoids inhibited 3Y1/12-10 cell growth by approximately 40% at levels over 10-fold higher than those needed for anti-invasion activity. The findings suggest that the anti-invasive activity of retinoids was at least partly due to direct induction of cell differentiation of the CAM host tissue.

Ectopic thyroid tissue in the neck. Benign or malignant?

This is a report of ectopic thyroid tissue in the neck, associated with a nodular colloid goiter, which recurred at least three times, beginning at age 24 years, in a woman in 12 years. The ectopic tissue appeared histologically benign and was identical to that found in the thyroid gland. Scintiscans of the neck and thyroid suppression tests showed that the tissue was initially unsuppressible and presumably autonomous in its function. Our conclusion is that the most reasonable explanation for this phenomenon is the intraoperative transmission of thyroid cells, probably benign and autonomous in function, to other sites in the neck.

Simplified radioimmunoassay for triiodothyronine: evaluation of a new commercial kit.

A new triiodothyronine (T3) radioimmunoassay kit offers simplicity of method, short incubation time, specificity, and reproducibility. 125I-labeled T3 and unknown serum (or standard) are added to alkaline buffered (pH 12.4) Sephadex G-25 columns; the T3 is freed of proteins with an alkaline buffer wash, antiserum is added, and the columns are incubated at room temperature for 2 h. "Free" hormone (i.e., unbound to antiserum) remains on the column after a second wash. The radioactivity on the column is counted and related to the total activity added. The T3 standards produced a straight line on log-logit plot; reactivity of analytical-grade thyroxine was 0.6% on weight basis; and the analytical recovery of T3 added to a T3-free serum was complete. Euthroid, hyperthyroid, and hypothyroid ranges were 0.74-2.64, 2.91-7.52, and 0-1.21 mug/liter, respectively. These values correlated well with both the clinical status of patients and with values obtained by an established radioimmunoassay method. The procedure is simply done; results may be obtained in less than 4 h.
