[Prenatal diagnosis of thanatophoric dwarfism with a cloverleaf skull--ultrasonographic findings, humane genetic aspects].

The ultrasonographic criteria for the prenatal diagnosis of thanatophore dwarfism with clover leaf skull are described. Facultative morbid anatomical peculiarities are described. Because of the prenatal findings the pregnancy was terminated by Caesarean Section at 30 weeks gestation in our case. Following the death of the infant the diagnosis was confirmed by radiological investigations and by autopsy. The ultrasonographic differential diagnosis from other types of dwarfism is discussed. The human genetic aspects are discussed with emphasis on the counselling regarding further pregnancies.

[Bowen's disease of the nipple].

The clinical and morphological features of Bowen's disease of the nipple are reported. The 51 year old patient had an eczema type change of the left nipple for over 1 year. The microscopic evaluation of the extensive segmental resection showed Bowen's disease of the nipple. Paget's disease was excluded with certainty. As far as the authors know this is the first case of Bowen's disease of the nipple reported. The treatment of choice is extended segmental resection. With this treatment the prognosis of Bowen's disease of the nipple appears to be favourable.

[Inguinal lymph node metastasis as primary symptom of endometrial carcinoma (author's transl)].

Two cases of postmenopausal women with inguinal lymph node metastases of papillary adeno-carcinoma are reported. Enlarged inguinal glands appeared for six months and two years, respectively. The search for the primary tumour site over several months was negative. The existence of an endometrial carcinoma had not been considered, because the symptom of vaginal bleeding was absent.

[Microcalcifications in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix (author's transl)].

The findings presented indicate that localized calcifications can sometimes develop within squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Apparently, these deposits develop via calcium salt loading from epithelial necrosis within the cell complexes of the tumor. This means that, with microcalcifications in a metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma, the pathologist evaluating biopsies should also consider the possibility of metastases of a tumor from the area of the cervix.
