[Ki-1+ large-cell anaplastic lymphoma with a leukemic appearance. Study of a case].

Ki-1 anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a well-described subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with distinctive characteristics from the cytological, immunohistochemical and clinical points of view. One of the clinical behavior characteristic is that it rarely evolves into a leukaemic phase. We report the case of a 72-year-old man in which the appearance of tumor cells in peripheral blood was one of the most revealing information. The patient showed B-symptoms, bicytopenia and bone marrow involvement, together with hepatosplenomegaly and right axilar adenopathy, which after biopsied lead to Ki-1 anaplastic large cell lymphoma's diagnosis (stage IV-B). As far as the treatment and evolution are concerned, we choose a polychemotherapy (ACOP-B) because of the patient's age. Up to now clinical and analitical course is excellent and the patient is now in remission.

[Dendriform diffuse pulmonary ossification. Report of 2 cases].

Two cases of diffuse dendriform pulmonary ossification are reported which was diagnosed postmorten. Both patients had a previous history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pneumonic complications. The radiological study was interpreted as pulmonary fibrosis in the first case, an entity which ranks first in the differential diagnosis. In some cases the obtention of highly contrasted X-ray films can be useful for recognizing this are entity.

[Phospholipase A2 and premature membrane rupture].

The phospholipase A2 activity in young amniotic fluids: 1.782, was determined. In the term amniotic fluids, the activity was 10.693. The detected activity in fluids from premature rupture of membranes was 29.077 in the group with infection, add 12.357 for the samples without infection. It was seen that young amniotic fluid has less activity. The group with infection showed the greatest activity. The significant increase of phospholipase A2 activity in term amniotic fluids and with PRM, in comparison with what is seen in young fluids suggests the active participation of the soluble form of this enzyme as mediator in the increase of Prostaglandin E2 seen in the amniotic fluid of the two first groups. Accordingly, one may think that PPLA2 could be a central mediator in membranes rupture mechanism in normal labor, as in PRM.

Intracerebral hemorrhage caused by transmural dissection of the anterior cerebral artery.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Spontaneous dissection of the intracranial carotid artery or its main branches is an unusual condition. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 72-year-old hypertensive woman after an intense nuchal rigidity showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage and an interhemispheric hematoma by computed tomography. The neuropathological study revealed a transmural dissection of the pericallosal artery. CONCLUSIONS: The authors suggest that the dissection origin is an atheromatous plaque that bleeds, producing a dissection plane from the lumen to the adventitial artery.
