[Dermo-hypodermic lymphoid pseudotumors with follicular hyperplasia. Apropos of a case].

We report the case of a female patient with ubiquitously distributed cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules measuring 2 to 6 cm along their long axis. These nodules first developed at the age of 63 years and subsequently appeared in crops separated by spontaneous remissions. Studies of removed nodules demonstrated diffuse lymphoid follicular hyperplasia suggesting a tumor and raising difficult nosologic problems, especially regarding relationships with the extranodal multicentric Castleman syndrome. In march 1987, biopsy of a large scapular nodule spreading into the striated muscle suggested possible transformation into a low grade malignant lymphoma of the lymphoplasmocytoid type.

[Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. Apropos of a case in the calf].

A young 15 year old girl presented with a voluminous desmoid tumor of the calf. Three attempts to excise the tumor were only partially successful because of the risk of vascular and nerve damage, and excision was incomplete on each occasion. These tactics appeared to be justified, however, since the tumor had little functional effects and appeared to become stable at the last examination. The tactical surgical problems are discussed, the benign nature of the tumor imposing conservative surgery which is often incomplete, although in certain cases the operation can be combined with a recovery arterial shunt. The various etiopathogenic elements of these tumors are described.

[Specific renal lesions revealing the presence of sarcoidosis (author's transl)].

Three cases of granulomatous nephropathy are reported. In two patients this was definitely related to a true renal sarcoidosis, while the third case raised the problem of the significance of an "isolated sarcoidosis nodule". The authors discuss the frequency, clinical symptoms, and pathological appearances of these renal lesions which reveal the presence of sarcoidosis, as well as the relationship between renal insufficiency and the parenchymatous lesions observed, and therapy.
