[Basocellular epithelioma of the back with metastases of the axillary ganglia].

In a 52-year old woman, basal cell carcinoma of the back skin recurs after excision and the axillary lymph nodes are involved. This case is to be added to the list of basal cell carcinomas with metastatic evolution. The histologic study of a series of sections allows to show the migration of neoplastic cells in the vessels. Though exceptional, the ability of the basal cell carcinomas to yield metastases must be taken into account.

Routine intraoperative angiography. An essential adjunct in vascular surgery.

Intraoperative angiography was performed during a variety of 155 arterial reconstructive procedures including bypass, endarterectomy, embolectomy, thrombectomy, primary reconstruction, and angioplasty. In 27 or 17% of these cases, defects were identified that could be corrected. These included technical errors at the suture line, accumulation of platelet thrombus and atherosclerotic debris, or unrecognized lesions in the runoff. The likelihood of identifying such lesions is greatest in patients undergoing bypass surgery, particularly when the distal anastomosis involves one of the leg arteries. Routine use of intraoperative angiography as an adjunct to vascular surgery is justified and will help to obviate many early graft failures.

[Cytological aspects of various particular varieties of breast epitheliomas].

Needle aspiration for cytological investigation has been used at the Foundation Curie since 1954. Until 1973, no less than 3,176 mammary tumours have been studied by this method and comparison made with the histological findings. In the whole group some relatively rare carcinomas have been encountered -- mucoid, medullary, adenoid cystic, squamous and apocrine. Each category is described from the cytologic viewpoint and illustrated with an appropriate cyto/histologic example to show what a high degree of precision may be attained by diagnostic cytology in mammary cancer.

[Oestrogen-induced proteins in breast cancer (author's transl)].

The hormone dependence and the prognosis of human breast cancers are currently based on assays of the estrogen receptor (RE) and progesterone receptor (RP) in the tumor. However, such prediction can not be fully accurate: RE may be non functional in some tumors and the estrogenic regulation of RP is not directly correlated with the effects of estrogens on cell growth. Here we described other estrogen induced intracellular, secreted or membrane proteins. Investigations of these proteins should allow a better understanding of the mechanisms by which estrogens stimulate the growth and spreading of breast cancer. Some secreted proteins could even be useful as circulatory markers of hormone dependence.
