Preliminary report: imaging of Kaposi sarcoma and lymphoma in AIDS with indium-111-labelled liposomes.

Kaposi sarcoma and malignant lymphoma were successfully imaged with high purity liposomes containing indium-111 in two patients with AIDS. Gamma camera images of the patient with Kaposi sarcoma showed four discrete lesions along the left foot and calf with no foci along the right foot, and no uptake into clinically enlarged but non-neoplastic lymph nodes. The spread of the Kaposi sarcoma was proximal along the leg. The neoplastic cervical lymph nodes in the second patient who had large-cell diffuse intermediate grade lymphoma were also imaged successfully. Since Kaposi sarcoma and lymphoma frequently involve occult sites, liposome imaging may prove useful in the diagnosis and management of these diseases.

Angiographic demonstration of congenital absence of both internal carotid arteries. Case report.

The authors present angiographic demonstration of bilateral, congenital, total absence of the internal carotid arteries in a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Angiography demonstrated complete absence of both internal carotid arteries. The intracranial blood supply had been provided by communication between a hypertrophied basilar artery and the circle of Willis through the posterior communicating arteries. An aneurysm, believed to be the site of the subarachnoid hemorrhage, arose from the basilar artery. Absence of the carotid canals substantiated the congenital nature of the anomaly. The related embryology is reviewed.
