[Primary malignant teratoma of the thyroid. Report of one case and review of the literature (author's transl)].

Malignant teratomas of the thyroid in the adult are rare. A personal case is presented. It brings the total number of cases found in the literature to nine, and illustrates the terrible prognosis of these tumours regardless of the treatment used (extensive surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy). Teratomas in the adult thus differ from those in the newborn and child. The latter are much more common and recurrences virtually non-existent. The histogenesis of these tumour is discussed. It may dysgenetic heterotypism, but no definite conclusions may be offered.

[Diffuse interstitial pulmonary amyloidosis (author's transl)].

A 56-year-old woman developed diffuse interstitial pulmonary amyloidosis and died two years after the onset of dyspneic symptoms. Lung biopsy confirmed the amyloid nature of the reticulonodular lesions, which were at the origin of the mixed restrictive and obstructive ventilatory deficiency. Investigations showed an obvious hypogamma globulinemia but the etiology of the affection remained unknown. Pathological examination revealed massive infiltration of amyloid material in the lungs, no involvement of the heart, what was unexpected, and minimal deposits in the mediastinal lymph nodes kidneys, and spleen. An immunofluorescence study of the pulmonary amyloid deposits was performed. The authors emphasize the rarity of such diffuse interstitial pulmonary amyloid lesions which differ greatly from nodular amyloidosis and upper respiratory tract amyloid infections.

[Modified subcutaneous mastectomy. Apropos of 916 cases].

Modified subcutaneous mastectomy was described by one of us in 1968; its approach, the dissection of the gland, plastic reconstruction of shape and volume are completely different from the subcutaneous mastectomy performed by plastic surgeons. 3 different time periods were studied to explain clearly evolution in the technic and indications. During many years retrospective studies made it possible to build a procedure according to the new diagnostic means for infraclinical breast cancer and to the constant improving prosthetic material. Therefore our indications for modified subcutaneous mastectomy are as following: suspicious mastopathies are the best indications with a performing choice of the radiologic images which require histologic control some evolutive or evoluated mastopathies some small infiltrating tumors developing in a highly dystrophic glandular surrounding. The numerous in situ cancers accompanying them argue for this choice. some big phyllod tumors or phyllod's recurrences.

[Reoperation of tumors of the parotid gland, surgical approach and consequences for the 7th cranial nerve. Apropos of 42 cases].

Second or more surgical procedures on parotid are usually difficult and may induce injury on the facial nerve. The authors report their experience about 42 patients. The choice between a total parotidectomy or a surgical excision of a tumor depends on the number of surgical procedure, the type of initial procedure and the histological type of the tumor. Second surgical procedures for a wrong initial diagnosis (11 cases) were always a total parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation. The risk of a partial or total facial palsy is higher after several recurrences (3 of 8 cases). The facial nerve had to be resected in 3 of 9 cases of malignant tumors recurrences. The initial treatment of a tumor of the parotid must be radical so it can prevent for further surgical procedures and then avoid a facial nerve injury.
