[The "in-dartos" orchidopexy in the surgical treatment of the ectopic testicle (author's transl)].

The authors report a series of 190 surgically treated cases of ectopic testicles. After comparable dissection in the two different groups, two different types of fixation were used. In the 66% where the testicle was fixed in traction, Leveuf method, there were 17% failures, whereas with the "in-dartos" method there were only 4% recurrence. In analyzing the failures in each group the authors stress the importance of the character of the operation. The majority of the failures are in the cases of highly placed abdominal testicles, and in those needing a certain amount of traction. However, the difference in results of the two groups is so striking that the authors find the "in-dartos" method definitely superior to the Leveuf method, when used in comparable cases.

[Cancer of the breast in patients having prostatic cancer treated with estrogens. Report of three cases (author's transl)].

The authors, after personally observing three cases, review the literature on breast cancers in patients with prostatic cancer treated by estrogens. The authors' three cases are all metastatic breast cancers, and one has also a renal cancer. These three cases are added to the 22 reported in the literature which include 13 metastatic cancers, 6 primary breast cancers, and 3 cancers of unspecified nature. The seriousness of these breast involvements is obvious when they are a manifestation of tumor dissemination. The authors discuss the possible responsibility of the estrogen therapy in the development of the breast cancer. The downhill course and the appearance of breast cancer with generalized dissemination evinces an important decrease in the patient's immunity which allows metastases and multiple tumors to occur.

[Thoracic ectopic kidney (author's transl)].

On the basis of a case of thoracic ectopic kidney, discovered following trauma and diagnosed at laparotomy (since it was confused with rupture of the left diaphragm) the authors review certain data concerning this rare malformation (150 published cases). --The site of origin of the renal artery may be used to distinguish on the one hand between true intra renal ectopic kidney with the renal artery arising from the aorta and secondly trans-diaphragmatic herniation of a kidney with a kidney with a normal vascular pedicle through a hernia, most often congenital, and equally often right as left. --Clinically, at the time of a routine examination or following trauma, chest X-ray reveals an opacity at the base of the thorax, the low and posterior topography of which is suggestive of the diagnosis and and IVP is then indicated. In the absence of violent trauma, the diagnosis of traumatic hernia is eliminated. The distinction between true ectopic kidney and congenital trans-diaphragmatic hernia becomes a false problem since there is no need for treatment in either case.
