Squamous cell carcinoma. Case report of an unusually aggressive skin cancer.

A squamous cell carcinoma developed on the chin of a seventy-five year old woman of Irish extraction. This tumor had recurred following standard means of therapy and resisted treatment by chemosurgery. The patient had used a cream containing 5-fluorouracil for several years prior to the appearance of this tumor. The increased incidence of skin cancer and its possible cause is briefly discussed and the role of immunobiologic factors in the development of squamous cell carcinomas is mentioned.

Pyoderma gangrenosum with carcinoid tumor.

A patient with the classic lesions of pyoderma gangrenosum was found on autopsy to have a carcinoid tumor of the ileum. The simultaneous occurrence of a carcinoid tumor with pyoderma gangrenosum is interesting because both conditions are associated with immunologic defects.

[Completely interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. A complete surgical correction in one procedure (author's transl)].

The authors present a case of completely interrupted aortic arch (Type B) associated with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus in a child 3 years and 10 months old, who was successfully subjected to complete surgical correction in one procedure. The pre- and post-operative electrocardiographic and hemodynamic data are evaluated. The authors draw attention to the extreme rarity of surgical resolution, in one procedure, of this type of congenital heart disease.
