[Clinical effects of NK 631 (pepleomycin) against malignant tumors of the head and neck (author's transl)].

1. The antitumor effect of pepleomycin observed in 11 cases of malignant tumors of the head and neck was compared with that of bleomycin in similar cases, and the former appeared slightly preferable. 2. The adverse reactions to the 2 drugs were similar to each other; however, those to pepleomycin were milder. 3. Only few cases exhibiting such severe pulmonary fibrosis as emphasized in the published data have been encountered in bleomycin treatment in the authors' department. However, with reference to the measurements of PaO2 in the pepleomycin-treated cases, this may be said to be an anticancer drug which is easier to use clinically. 4. Adverse reactions to pepleomycin, e.g., alopecia, malaise, and others, were less frequent and less severe than those to bleomycin. 5. It was studied by the auditory acuity test in 10 cases (excluding 1 dropout) whether any auditory acuity disorder would occur after pepleomycin treatment: No changes in auditory acuity were observed in any of the cases.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma of the breast. A case report.

BACKGROUND: Glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma (GRCC) is a rare variant of breast carcinoma that was first described by Hull et al in 1981. The histologic findings have been described; however, the cytologic characteristics have not been well described. CASE: A 44-year-old female exhibited a palpable mass in her right breast. The fine needle aspirate contained cell clusters in a necrotic background. In addition to carcinoma cells with increased degrees of nuclear atypia, carcinoma cells with less atypia were identified. The tumor cells contained small round or ovoid nuclei and abundant, clear cytoplasm. The tumor, resected by modified radical mastectomy, was diagnosed as GRCC with detection of glycogen accumulation in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: Although rare, glycogen-rich clear cell carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast cancer in fine needle aspiration cytology to prevent misdiagnosis because of its varied morphologic patterns and less atypical cytologic features.
