Immunoreactive endometritis.

A benign polyclonal lymphoid proliferation of the endometrium which bears morphological resemblance to the malignant lymphoma is found among women with bleeding disturbances. Seven previous cases have so far been reported in the literature. A retrospective examination of 11,648 endometrial specimens revealed 287 examples of chronic endometritis (2.5%) of which 29 displayed lymphoid proliferation. We found no evidence of malignant haematologic disorder after a median observation of 68 months and no positive association with prior or present infectious disease. Histological follow-up of ten patients showed that changes could persist for up to 12 months. We name this benign condition 'immunoreactive endometritis'.

Primary extraosseous osteogenic sarcoma in the retroperitoneal space. A case report and review of the literature.

One case of primary, extraosseous osteogenic sarcoma in the retroperitoneal region is presented, which is the tenth case hitherto reported in the literature. The 3 females and 7 males reported had a median age at diagnosis of 59 1/2 years. The tumours were all large at diagnosis and the symptoms short and uncharacteristic. There was no characteristic set of laboratory or roentgenologic findings; 2 of the 10 cases had elevation of alkaline phosphatase, and in 4 cases roentgen examination revealed tumour calcifications. The prognosis was poor and 8 of the 10 patients died, with a median survival of 9 1/2 months. In 3 cases, surgery was supplemented by chemotherapy without obvious improvement in survival.
