[Granulosa cell tumor. A 30-year material from a central hospital].

During a 30-years period seventeen women were correctly diagnosed as having a granulosa cell tumour. Two died of the tumour, while six women died of other causes. No pathological features correlated to prognosis. A conservative surgical approach to preserve fertility is not recommended; of the three fertile women in our group one died of the disease and another one had two relapses within three years. Eleven tumours showed evidence of increased oestradiol production, and this proved useful as a tumour marker. Follow up is rarely performed unless relapse occurs.

[Repeated pregnancy in a patient with diabetes, nephrotic syndrome and hydronephrosis in an earlier pregnancy].

Prepregnancy counselling for diabetics includes an assessment of the metabolic condition,-and if present-angiopathy and nephropathy. Complications in previous pregnancies worsen the prognosis, particularly if they involve the kidneys. A case story is presented of a diabetic woman (White group F/R), who in her first pregnancy had shown several signs of increasing nephropathy. At the beginning of her third pregnancy her diabetes is badly regulated and her kidneys show signs of nephrosclerosis. Nevertheless, the pregnancy runs relatively smoothly until the thirty-third week where she delivers prematurely. The case story shows the difficulties in predicting the course of present and future pregnancies in a diabetic with angio- and nephropathy.

[Clinical trial of 2 highly sensitive pregnancy tests--Tandem ICON HCG-urine and OPCO One-step Pacific Biotech].

The highly sensitive pregnancy test, Tandem ICON HCG-urine, was compared with OPCO "One-step" Pacific Biotech in the gynecological and obstetrical department of Randers Hospital. The purpose was to determine the test specificity and sensitivity of the pregnancy tests in women with possible pregnancies. The test sensitivities were found to be 0.83 and 0.63 for ICON and ONE, respectively. We experienced one and four cases of negative pregnancy tests and ectopic pregnancies with ICON and ONE, respectively. In all cases, the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was suspected by other means and the patients submitted to operation. The ICON test showed its supremacy in diagnosis while ONE was easier and cheaper.

[Strategy for delivery in breech presentations. A retrospective study].

A six-year material of 236 singleton breech deliveries at term was evaluated retrospectively. Infants who were small for the gestational ages at birth were excluded. Vaginal delivery proved successful in 41.1% of the material. The vaginal success rate was 61.8. Low parity and age and high birth weight reduced the vaginal success rate. The route of delivery did not affect the outcome in terms of infantile morbidity or mortality. Nevertheless, an increased number of neonates with congenital disorders was observed. It is concluded that trial of vaginal delivery may be employed in a selected group of pregnant women with breech presentations without increasing the risk of adverse effects of the neonate.
