Metastasis of cancer to cancer. A case of breast carcinoma metastasizing to a malignant mesothelioma.

Metastasis of cancer to cancer is exceedingly rare, the most frequent being metastasis from bronchogenic carcinoma to renal carcinoma. A case of breast carcinoma metastasizing to a fibrosarcomatous malignant mesothelioma is presented. Breast carcinoma metastasizing to another carcinoma has been reported 4 times in the past. To our knowledge no case of breast carcinoma metastasizing to a malignant mesenchymal tumor has been published. It is unknown whether metastasis of cancer to cancer is a random occurrence or is due to selective lodging, survival and growth within another malignant neoplasm.

Excretion of verapamil in human milk.

The concentration of verapamil in milk and serum was determined in samples taken within the same hour 3-5 days after delivery of a 25 year old women treated with verapamil (Isoptin) 240 mg daily for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The average concentration of verapamil in milk was found to be 23% of that in serum, and the total excretion in milk was less than 0,01% of the administered dose.

Falsely negative urinary leucocyte counts due to delayed examination.

Microscopic examination for urinary leucocytes was performed in the ward immediately after micturition and approximately 3 h later at a laboratory. Of the forty-eight specimens classified as positive by counting in the ward, 35% erroneously turned up negative by later counting at the laboratory. Counting of urinary leucocytes should consequently be performed as soon as possible after micturition, probably within 1 h.
