Serous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy arising in a parovarian paramesonephric cyst.

BACKGROUND: Borderline parovarian tumors are found incidentally at surgery or autopsy. They are extremely rare. The majority have been reported in young women and rarely are they large enough to be clinically significant. CASE: A 53-year-old multiparous female with a symptomatic paraovarian serous borderline cystadenoma is presented. DISCUSSION: The clinical aspects and subsequent management of related cases are discussed.

Fallopian tube carcinoma: incidental finding during surgery for acute pelvic inflammatory disease--case report.

BACKGROUND: Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is a rare condition. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and in most cases it is an intraoperative finding or a histopathological diagnosis. CASE: A 49-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain, fever (38 degrees C), elevated white blood cell count and a right adnexal mass. Pelvic inflammatory disease was suspected and broad spectrum antibiotics were established. Five days later, due to lack of clinical response, a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and appendectomy were performed. Histopathology showed a primary fallopian tube carcinoma. Postoperatively she received chemotherapy. Afterwards she underwent a staging laparotomy. Some months later, new chemotherapy regimens were instituted because of the presence of lymph node metastases. CONCLUSION: Malignancy should be included in the differential diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Sodium cholate interactions with rabbit's pulmonary surfactant.

In order to assay the possibility that sodium cholate interacts with pulmonary surfactant, we obtained bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from lungs of adult rabbits and measured the hysteresis area of surface tension-area loops of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in a Wilhelmy surface tension balance, before and after the addition of sodium cholate to reach different concentrations. We observed a biphasic behavior: at a low concentration of sodium cholate (1.5 x 10(5) mol/l; n = 6) the hysteresis area increased (p less than 0.05) as compared to its control (initial) area, meanwhile at a higher concentration (5 x 10(-5) mol/l; n = 6) the hysteresis area decreased (p less than 0.025), revealing a likely interaction of sodium cholate with pulmonary surfactant. We conclude that sodium cholate is able to interact in vitro with lung surfactant.
