[Systemic scleroderma and cancers: 21 cases and review of the literature].

Twenty one cases of the association systemic scleroderma and cancer are reported. Neoplasic localisations were the following: pulmonary five cases; breast two cases; esophageal cancer one case; stomach one case; colon one case; uterus four cases; ovarian cancer one case; prostatic cancer one case; renal cancer one case; malignant hemopathies six cases. In the literature, more than three hundred cases of such an association have been reported since 1886, essentially lung cancers (more than 100). Recent epidemiological studies allow to conclude to a higher frequency of lung and breast cancers. We suggest that systemic scleroderma patients should be examined attentively and carefully for these risks.

[Intra-uterine gestational age. The value of calcification of dental crowns (author's transl)].

Calcification in the first decidual molar tooth first appears at the 33-34th week of gestation; and the second at the 36-37th week. It is therefore a stable and precise index of gestational age. It can be estimated in over two-thirds of films of the intra-uterine contents chosen at random. The search for this sign can complement or take the place of looking for epiphyseal centres in the knee. It gives information about gestational age in pathological conditions where bony maturation is abnormal.
