[Tumorous and pseudotumorous cartilaginous lesions of the soft tissues of the hand].

The authors present several rare cartilaginous tumours and pseudotumours of the extraskeletal tissues in an unusual situation, the hand. They present three different varieties depending on the site and histogenesis of the tumour: 1) Intra-articular synovial chondromatosis. 2) Tenosynovial chondromatosis. 3) Soft tissue chondroma (extra-synovial). The authors also discuss the histogenesis of these lesions: synovial for the first two types and an extra-synovial connective tissue origin for the last type.

[Role of computerized tomography in dental implantology].

The authors report their experience using CT examination in implantology, outlining the advantages of this method in the study of the perimplantar bone, both in cases undergoing a favourable evolution and in those with an unsatisfactory outcome.

[Small fat-containing focal renal lesions: echographic and CT aspects].

The discovery of a small fat-containing intraparenchymal renal mass on ultrasonography (US) or computed tomography (CT) poses a problem in diagnosis and patient management. Small lipomas of the kidney were detected by ultrasonography and CT in seven patients. In all patients the lesions were found by chance. No patients underwent surgery. These fat-containing nodules are not an uncommon finding at routine autopsy. Follow-up studies showed no change in the size of the lesions. These lesions do not show growth and surgical intervention does not seem to be indicated. This report demonstrates the capability of US and CT in the detection and diagnosis of these small islands of fat-containing tissue within the renal parenchyma.

Autoplastic vein grafts in experimental microsurgery.

The writers discuss the histological results of a study of twelve auto-plastic vein grafts performed by a microsurgical technique on the femoral artery of the rabbit. Our observations, which were made at periods of from one to twelve weeks after the grafts had been performed, revealed the details of the nature and chronological development of the structural changes that occurred in the wall of the graft.
