In a newborn boy, a tumor was removed from the coccygeal area. The growth was identical in all respects to the caudal formations in human described in the literature. A few medical-historical aspects are discussed.
Case report of a woman who at the age of 26 underwent mammary reduction (strmbeck) for macromastia. A primary bilateral non-synchronous carcinoma of the breast was discovered 20 months and 5 years after the plastic surgery. On pathological examination lymph node metastases were not found in both instances. There was a positive family history of the occurrence of carcinoma. Mammography prior to mammary reduction is recommended.
Description of a 63-year-old man with a sweat gland carcinoma low in the left axilla, and an axillary lymph node metastasis. A five-year survival was obtained. The histological picture of a sweat gland carcinoma may be highly variable. The best treatment seems to be local excision. If the primary tumour is situated close to a regional lymph gland station, regional lymph node extirpation should be seriously considered.
