Cryptococcus neoformans as a cause of lytic bone lesions.

Cryptococcosis is a disseminated infection of man and animals that involves many organs, especially the central nervous system. Isolated bone involvement may cause lytic bone lesions. Diagnosis may be made by pathologic sections and culture of specimens obtained through surgical biopsy. When Cryptococcus is recovered from bone, care must be taken to study other organ systems, especially the central nervous system. Isolated bone disease without meningitis is very uncommom. Intense medical therapy is necessary for treatment of meningitis; isolated osteomyelitis may respond to surgical drainage alone.

Fibrous histiocytoma of the trachea.

A histologically benign but locally infiltrating tumor of histiocytes, fibrous histiocytoma, was found in the trachea of a 26-year-old man. Partial resection of the trachea afforded the successful removal of the growth with no evidence of recurrence or metastases 27 months after surgery. Pathology and prognostic aspects of the tumor are discussed.

The ultrastructure of smooth muscle tumors with a consideration of the possible relationship of glomangiomas, hemangiopericytomas, and cardiac myxomas.

Tumors classified as being of smooth muscle origin by light microscopy were studied with the electron microscope. Their ultrastructure verified the diagnosis in all of the seven leiomyomas but in only eight of the twelve (66 percent) tumors that were finally classified as leiomyosarcoma. The discrepancy of the light microscopic and ultrastructural findings in these four sarcomas may be due to sampling problems likely to be encountered in poorly differentiated tumors or simply the failure of development of specific ultrastructural features in the face of a characteristic growth pattern at the light microscopic level. Among other tumors that have been considered to be of smooth muscle origin--hemangiopericytoma, glomangioma, and cardiac myxoma--only the glomangioma showed ultrastructure features identical to those of smooth muscle.
