Bacillary epithelioid angiomatosis involving the liver, spleen, and skin in an AIDS patient with concurrent Kaposi's sarcoma.

The simultaneous findings of bacillary epithelioid angiomatosis and Kaposi's sarcoma of the skin with visceral hepatosplenic bacillary epithelioid angiomatosis is reported in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Liver biopsy showed periportal peliotic spindle cell foci that initially were misinterpreted as Kaposi's sarcoma. After antibiotic therapy induced rapid clinical improvement, repeated liver biopsy showed resolution of the previously noted lesions. Although the violaceous skin lesions all appeared similar clinically, some resolved completely and some progressed. One of the latter was biopsied and had the histologic features of Kaposi's sarcoma. The differential diagnosis is discussed.

Heterophil-negative mononucleosis-like illnesses with atypical lymphocytosis in patients undergoing seroconversions to the human immunodeficiency virus.

The authors present data from four patients with acute heterophil-negative mononucleosis-like illnesses who were initially thought to have primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections but eventually were shown to be seroconverting to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Widespread lymphadenopathy and blood smears indistinguishable from those typically encountered in the acute phase of infectious mononucleosis were present in all cases. There were also varying combinations of fever, sore throat, and malaise, as well as mild abnormalities of hepatic function and elevated cold agglutinins (anti-I). Anti-HIV was detected by both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot techniques in all cases, with increasing titers noted in two of three serially studied cases. In one patient, a dual infection with the hepatitis B virus was also documented. Diagnostic possibilities in patients with acute mononucleosis-like illnesses dominated by prominent lymphadenopathy should include primary seroconversions to HIV.

Nasal videoendoscopy in prosthetic management of palatopharyngeal dysfunction.

Application of nasal videoendoscopic procedures simplifies and objectifies design of an obturator prosthesis. Although oral videoendoscopic techniques are also valuable, the nasal perspective provides valuable information not visible from the oral perspective. Because the primary function of the obturator prosthesis is to eliminate hypernasal speech and perceived nasal emission of air associated with palatopharyngeal insufficiency, nasal videoendoscopy should be considered to verify proper soft tissue-obturator contact during speech.

Computed tomography of Sipple syndrome.

The computed tomographic (CT) findings of pheochromocytoma, adrenal medullary hyperplasia, and medullary thyroid carcinoma in a patient with Sipple syndrome are presented. The CT finding of diffuse enlargement of one or both adrenal glands in a patient with clinical and laboratory evidence of pheochromocytoma should raise the suspicion of adrenal medullary hyperplasia and Sipple syndrome.

Burkitt lymphoma in acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

An unusual case of Burkitt lymphoma presenting with an osteolytic pelvic lesion in a homosexual man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is reported. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated unsuspected renal involvement and was used for guided percutaneous biopsy. The CT appearance of renal Burkitt lymphoma was similar to that of other types of renal lymphoma.

[The composition of dietary lipids and the blood coagulation time in the rat].

The study of the coagulation in rats fed with a balanced diet, including 12% of different animal or vegetable fats, during 6 months, shows that the time of coagulation in rats receiving one of the following oils: palm, sunflower, Canbra, is significantly higher than the ones fed with butter. On the other hand, the coagulation time observed in the groups is correlated with the oleic acid level in the corresponding diet. The results obtained here may lead to important practical applications.
