[Paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome associated with broncho-pulmonary cancer].

INTRODUCTION: Paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome associated with malignant broncho-pulmonary tumors. Three cases and literature review. Malignant broncho-pulmonary tumours are the principal cause of a paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome. These tumours are most often small cell or squamous bronchial carcinomas. In 75% of cases the nephrotic syndrome is due to a membranous glomerulonephritis and it usually precedes the discovery of the causative tumour. CASES REPORT: Three cases of paraneoploastic nephrotic syndrome associated with bronchial carcinoma are described. The first is of a bronchial carcinoid tumour associated with a membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis. In the second a bronchial adenocarcinoma was revealed by a membranous glomerulonephritis. The last case concerns a squamous carcinoma associated with a nephrotic syndrome in which the histological lesions were not documented on account of progression to rapidly fatal acute renal failure. CONCLUSION: A revue of the literature describes the associations between paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome and bronchial carcinoma.

[Toxic dermatitis caused by pseudoephedrine: apropos of a case].

Allergy to pseusoephedrine seems to be rare and has been described as responsible of urticaria, contact dermatitis, fixed non-pigmenting erythema or pseudoscarlatina. We report the case of a male patient who presented a recurrent erythema after administration of different treatments including pseudoephedrine. A cutaneous biopsy was compatible with erythema multiform. Patch tests confirmed the diagnosis of allergy to pseudoephedrine but resulted in a reappearance of symptoms.

Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane. A potentially fatal complication of tracheal intubation.

A series of 10 consecutive cases presenting an obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane (OFTP) as a complication of endo-tracheal intubation is presented. The patients developed a thick tubular, rubber-like, whitish pseudomembrane moulding the tracheal wall as a result of short-duration endotracheal intubation. This pseudomembrane firmly adhered to the tracheal wall at the site of the endotracheal cuff. Shortly after extubation, partial detachment of the proximal part of the pseudomembrane produced intermittent positional acute respiratory failure due to valve-manner tracheal obstruction. Immediate mechanical ablation was curative in nine patients, without secondary development of tracheal stenosis. One patient died from acute asphyxiation. The history and the pathological findings of these cases support the hypothesis that this lesion represents an early stage of ischemic tracheal wall injury related to the cuff pressure. Pulmonary physicians should be alerted on this poorly known complication of endotracheal intubation.
