[The solitary pulmonary nodule. A radiologic and clinical approach (author's transl)].

The cases of pulmonary coin lesions operated at the National Cancer Institute of Milan during the last ten years are presented. Both the disadvantages of early thoracotomy as well as watchful waiting are discussed. Therefore different parameters with the aim to select the patients with the highest probability of cancer are analysed. Finally we tried to identify a diagnostic-therapeutic approach to reduce the complications and risks of thoracotomy in non-oncologic patients.

A case of non-immune hydrops fetalis with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the left lung in a twin.

Hydrops fetalis is a rare condition that occurs in one out of every 1,400-4,000 pregnancies. There are two types, immune and non-immune. It can be caused by a maternal-fetal incompatibility due to the Rh factor or, more rarely, the Kell factor or due to other antigens to red corpuscles. Non-immune types of hydrops have a complex multiform pathogenesis and in 50% of the cases they are of idiopathic nature. The causes that could determine non-immune hydrops are manifold and in 50% of the cases they are of an idiopathic nature. Independently of the clinical condition, the presented case could be classified in those forms of pathogenesis in which there is the presence of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CAM), not encountered in the fetal ultrasound performed at the sixteenth week of pregnancy. The particularity of our case is due to the association of the fetal hydrops of the CAM type in only one of the two twins. The presented case is classified in those forms of hydrops that are expressed with a clinical trend towards a worse prognosis, characterized by the intrauterine death of the fetus or the birth of a hydropic fetus that does not survive because of respiratory insufficiency and cardiocirculatory collapse.

[Echography of the hip in the newborn. 1507 cases].

The authors report the data relative to 1507 infants studied with clinical and US examination, in the neonatal period, in order to exclude hip dysplasia or dislocation. US examination was carried out according to Graf's technique and the newborns were classified according to US hip type, to clinical examination and to possible risk factors. The patients were included in a protocol including orthopedic and US controls. Seventeen treated infants were considered as pathologic. Ten of them had IIc or D hips at birth; the other 7, with IIa hips at birth, presented a X-ray pathologic hip after the 4th month of life. At about one year of age all infants could normally walk, except for one who was being treated with harness. No statistically significant differences were observed between the number of pathologic infants in the risk group (1.7%) and that in the no-risk group (0.8%). Clinical examination of the newborn has low sensitivity in detecting pathologic hips. On the basis of their results, the authors believe US examination of the newborn to be a valuable screening method to diagnose hip dysplasia/dislocation. Moreover, Graf's morphologic method is the best one for US screening of the hip in the neonatal period.
