[Desquamative interstitial pneumonia in a 3-month-old boy].

It is described a desquamative interstitial pneumonia in a three months old infant, in whom the diagnosis was established by necropsy. It is the 5th case younger than six months of age, published in the literature. The clinical and pathologic features of disease are briefly reviewed.

[Arterioventricular disorders in the transposition of the anterior aorta. 2 cases: with the aorta on the right and with the aorta on the left].

We show two cases of transposition of the great arteries with arterioventricular discordance and aorta at both sides (right and left). They were diagnosed by angiocardiography and verified afterwards in the anatomical analysis of the specimens. We discuss the necessary steps taken for the diagnosis in which we followed De la Cruz's rules. We emphasize that this anatomical group should be distinguished from the group of arterioventricular concordance. Both groups have the same connection. Against the opinions of other authors, we think that this connection signifies only the same physiology in both groups, but not the same anatomy. This anatomy would be originated by a different embriological fact (different spatial location of the truncal and conal ridges).

[Papillary adenocarcinoma of the rete testis. Report of a case].

OBJECTIVES: Another case of adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is described and the literature on this uncommon tumor type reviewed. METHODS/RESULTS: The clinical features, pathological findings and treatment of adenocarcinoma of the rete testis in a 72-year-old male are presented. CONCLUSIONS: Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is a rare tumor type; few cases have been reported in the literature. Although treatment is primarily by surgery, recognition of new cases will provide further insight into this primary tumor of the rete testis.

[Prognostic significance of DNA content measured by flow cytometry in supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma].

Eighty-five patients with squamous that were cell carcinoma of the supraglottis treated surgically in the Department of Otolaryngology at the Marqués de Valdecilla Hospital in Santander (Spain) over a 10-year period from January 1, 1978 to December 31, 1987 were studied retrospectively. In 81 cases a flow cytometric study was made from the surgical specimen included in paraffin blocks, to determine the DNA index and the percentage of cells in the S phase of the cellular cycle. An statistical analysis was made to determine the correlation between these parameters and survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Merer method. Survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. In 67 cases (82.7%) DNA content was diploid and in 14 cases (17.3%) it was aneuploid. The percentage of cells in S phase was 3.8 and 55.4, with a mean value of 15.19. Comparison of with the five these parameters years survival showed no statistical differences between groups, although tumors with more than 19% S phase had worse prognosis (p < 0.1) and tumors in advanced stages were more frequently aneuploid and had higher S phase values (p = 0.1).
