[Unusual sarcomas of the breast. Report of 3 cases].

Non phylloides sarcomas of the breast are infrequent malignant tumors that can be identified only at histologic examination since clinical presentation may not differ from the more frequent phylloides type. In addition to fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma and liposarcoma, the stromal sarcoma of the breast has been recently identified. We report 3 such cases with heterologous components of osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma and liposarcoma. A third case with an anti-sarcoma appearing post radiotherapy for breast carcinoma is also reported.

[Abdominal actinomycosis: review apropos of 3 cases].

Actinomycosis is a chronic bacterial infectious disease, characterized by multiple abscesses, draining sinuses and abundant dense fibrous tissue. The intra-abdominal variety is rarely found and difficult to diagnose. We report three cases of intra-abdominal actinomycosis successfully treated by surgery and by longterm antibiotic therapy. One patient had a liver actinomycosis and two had ileo-caecal disease. Pertinent literature is reviewed.

Intestinal leiomyosarcoma in childhood: report of two cases.

Two girls, 5 and 8 years old, with a leiomyosarcoma of the rectosigmoid and ileum, respectively, were treated at Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna. In each case, a segmental resection with primary anastomosis was done. After the initial surgery, neither girl has received further treatment for the tumor. To date the two patients remain clinically well and apparently tumor free.

Actinomycosis and nocardiosis. A morphologic study of 17 cases.

Actinomycosis and nocardiosis are bacterial infectious diseases with distinct morphologic features, that can be diagnosed in tissue sections. The clinico-pathologic features of 17 cases are reported with emphasis on their histopathologic diagnosis by using a simple combination of common tissue stains. Actinomycosis was frequently observed as a secondary and localized infection often with lung involvement, especially in residual cavities or bronchiectasis; in these cases numerous actinomycotic granules and only occasionally individual bacterial filaments within the suppurative foci and/or granulomas with suppurative centers were identified. Nocardiosis was observed as an opportunistic infection in the three cases studied; in these, isolated filaments of acid-fast and Gram-positive bacteria were observed. The morphologic features and the differential diagnosis in tissue sections of both infections are discussed with emphasis on their identification by the general pathologist in the routine material.
