[Primary spindle cell sarcoma of the pulmonary artery].

It is reported on a patient with a primary, mainly spindle-cell sarcoma of the left pulmonary artery. It is a case of a centrally located tumor, which caused a subtotal occlusion of the truncus pulmonalis and a complete occlusion of the left pulmonary artery. The diagnostical and therapeutical methods with their results and possible complications are discussed. The indication for an operation is demonstrated. In the pertinent literature hitherto 35 cases of this disease are reported.

[Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm (author's transl)].

Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm is diagnosed during the acute stage in only 50% of the cases. The reasons for this failure are that in many of these cases clinical symptoms of damage to abdominal organs or of injuries to the limbs predominate. Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm is usually the result of an indirect trauma. Clinical signs of extensive prolapse of viscera into the thoracic cavity are: dyspnoea, tachycardia, cyanosis or intestinal sounds heard over the thorax during auscultation. Once the diagnosis has been established surgical repair should follow. During the acute stage laparotomy is preferable; thoracotomy is indicated during the chronic stage. Post-operative symptoms are: dyspnoea during exercise, pain in the affected half of the chest and roentgeno-kymographically demonstrable restrictions of movement in the ruptured side of the diaphragm.

[Palliative surgery in bronchial carcinoma and surgery for metastases (author's transl)].

Report on 54 patients with bronchial carcinoma, where a primary palliative resection of the tumor has to be done. Indications were central abscess of the carcinoma, bleeding of the tumor by arrosion, pain because of infiltration of chestwall, patient's demand on operation. Beneath lobectomy and pneumonectomy parietal pleurectomy, exstirpation of subclavian lymphnodes of the carcinoma and endobronchial resections of the tumor were done. In addition from 1970 to 1975 on 61 patients 66 resections of pulmonary metastasis were done. Surgical therapy of coin lesions without long preoperative surveillance is mandatory.
