Muscle changes in rheumatoid arthritis. A review of the literature with a study of 100 cases.

Muscle changes were studied in biopsy material obtained from 100 patients suffering from classical rheumatoid arthritis. The abnormalities consisted of denervation atrophy of type II muscle fibres, degenerative changes in the sarcoplasm including presence of nemaline rods, and changes within the interstitium: namely perivascular nodular myositis, lymphocytic accumulations, different stages of vasculitis and abnormalities within the intramuscular nerves and muscle spindles. The muscles examined were always severely affected. It is considered that the simultaneous presence of these abnormalities is suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis. The importance of histochemical studies is emphasized. The literature concerning muscle changes in rheumatoid arthritis is reviewed.

Primary carcinoid tumor of testis.

A case of pure, primary testicular carcinoid tumor in a forty-four-year-old male is reported. The patient presented with painless testicular enlargement, and testicular tumor was diagnosed. Orchiectomy was performed, and histology revealed a primary argentaffinoma. The patient is well and symptom free two years after diagnosis.

Acute carcinomatous myopathy associated with ovarian carcinoma.

A case of acute, fatal, rapidly progressive pure myopathy associated with ovarian carcinoma is described. The first symptoms of carcinomatous myopathy occurred 8 months after surgical treatment and combined chemotherapy. The patient died 2 months after onset of myopathy. The clinical and pathologic findings of the myopathy are discussed.

Myocardial lesions subsequent to roentgenotherapy.

The myocardium was studied for changes caused by therapeutical X-ray irradiation in a necropsy material of 14 cases. The lesions found in the myocardial vessels, in the parenchyma and in the interstitium are described in detail. While the severity of the vascular changes was independent of the radiation dose, the gravity of parenchymal lesions was closely related to the dose employed.
