[Multiple paragangliomas of the neck localized in the thyroid region. Papillary thyroid cancer associated with parathyroid adenoma].

A 58 years-old woman has had a goiter for many years. She was treated by neck irradiation for "lymphadenopathy" 20 years-ago. She is now operated on for bilateral carotid body paragangliomas and a similar tumor of the thyroid gland near the midline. She also presents a papillary carcinoma of the left thyroid lobe with lymph node metastasis and a chief-cell parathyroid adenoma. The diagnosis of thyroid paraganglioma is discussed. Then the authors raise the hypothesis of radiation-induced papillary carcinoma. They try to set a link between thyroid tumors and parathyroid adenoma.

[Malignant lymphomas in Burgundy, France (1976--1977): a new approach using computerized pathological diagnoses (author's transl)].

Pathology laboratories in the Burgundy region have recently been equipped with mini-computers using the same software and working method. This report brings together their histological records, stored on magnetic discs, and describes the first results of this regional data base. Malignant lymphomas were chosen as a pilot study and evaluated between January 1976 and December 1977. After a brief presentation of the method, 246 cases of malignant lymphoma are analysed: 95 of Hodgkins disease, 103 of non-Hodgkins malignant lymphoma of the nodes and 48 cases of extranodal non-Hodgkins malignant lymphoma. The distribution of patients in terms of sex and ten year age groups is analysed, together with the various incidence rates for a year in Burgundy and in its four administrative units (Cote-d'Or, Nievre, Saone-et-Loire and Yonne).

A complete form of testicular feminisation syndrome; a light and electron microscopy study.

A case is described of testicular feminisation syndrome in a 19-yr-old patient with a normal female appearance. A laparotomy with removal of the gonads was performed. The latter looked like testes with intraparenchymal nodules. Light and electron microscopy study of these nodules revealed the presence of immature seminiferous-like tubules and of Leydig cell clusters. The tubules were filled with clear Sertoli cells, few degenerative dark cells and scanty spermatogonia. Thin collagen bundles surrounded the tubules and the foci of Leydig cells without any crystals of Reinke. The immaturity of all these cellular components could be connected with a mutation at a repressive locus which could be responsible for the abnormalities observed in the different steps of androgen action at target cell level.

[Fibroadenoma and phyllode tumors. Cytopathological aspect].

Fibro-adenomas and phyllode tumors of the breast are a classical cause of errors in cyto-diagnosis. On the basis of six personal cases, the authors show that the cytological diagnosis of fibro-adenoma is possible and that there are certain minimal factors which favourise the presence of a phyllode tumour. They emphasize the differential characteristics between fibro-adenomas and carcinomas on the one hand, and between fibro-adenomas and mastitis on the other hand.

[Bilateral breast localization of Kahler's disease: cytological and histological aspects].

Breast localisation of multiple myeloma is quite unfrequent. In one case of a 69 years old man, the diagnosis was suspected by a cytological aspiration biopsy of the lesion, and later confirmed by histological and biological investigations. The analysis of the literature has enabled the authors to gather 7 other cases and to describe the characters of this peculiar tumoral localisation. The breast involvement is mostly observed in women. The average is 38 years old. Only 2 cases deal with men, both treated with estrogens. The lesion is usually bilateral and nearly always associated with other visceral and bone localisations. It is not modified by chemiotherapy and appears shortly before death.

[Anatomo-clinical features of Castleman tumour. Report of a case with a membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis (author's transl)].

A case of retro-peritoneal lymphoid angio-follicular hyperplasia or Castleman's pseudo-tumour with normochromic hormocytic anemia and membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis is reported in a 53 year-old man. Since the first description by Castleman in 1954, 259 other cases have been published. The anatomo-clinical study of our observation and of 198 cases collected in the literature bears out 3 types of clinical forms, according to the location of the pseudo-tumour: mediastinal, superficial and abdominal. The first ones generally asymptomatic are the most frequent whereas the last ones, less common, are often associated with biological abnormalities. In spite of these differences such neoformations present the same morphologic features. They are round or ovoid and well delimited by a capsule. Under this capsule a lymphoid vascular tissue surrounds follicules with central capillaries or arterioles. When plasma cells infiltrate the stroma, perturbations such as anemia or hypoalbunemia appear. Besides a nephrotic syndrome has been discovered in our observation and in that of Humpherys. In all the cases the removal of the pseudo-tumour induces the retrogression of the biological abnormalities and of the nephrotic syndrome. Neither a recidive nor another location of the disease are noticed later on. This evolution is probably the fact of a benign hyperplatic process which grows after an antigenic stimulation.
