Intravascular, bronchiolar, and alveolar tumor of the lung (IVBAT). An analysis of twenty cases of a peculiar sclerosing endothelial tumor.

Twenty cases of an unusual tumor of the lung are described. This tumor usually presents with multiple small, slowly growing pulmonary nodules. Many cases are detected incidentally. Eighty percent are women, and 50% are less than 40 years of age. Survival with tumor can be quite long. However, one half the patients have died, usually of progressive pulmonary insufficiency. This is a peculiar sclerosing tumor of endothelial cell origin.

Sclerosing hemangioma of the lung: a clinicopathologic study of 51 cases.

The clinical and pathologic features of 51 sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung are reviewed. This tumor is benign and occurs predominantly in women. It has a variegated histologic appearance characterized by an admixture of four major histologic patterns: solid, hemorrhagic, papillary, and sclerotic. Characteristic uniform round cells are found within the stroma in all patterns and are unique to this tumor. Sclerosing hemangioma is a distinct clinicopathologic entity and should be distinguished from other benign neoplasms or inflammatory lesions of the lung.

Bone fragmentation in the rheumatoid wrist: radiographic and pathologic considerations.

A peculiar pattern of bone fragmentation of the wrist was noted in 16% of 50 rheumatoid patients. This involved erosion of the navicular, distal radius and ulna, carpal fusion, demineralization, and the presence of an elongated bony spicule overlying the radiocarpal joint. Additional examples were found in rheumatoid cadavers. Pathogenesis of the alteration was not entirely clear although contributing factors included extensive pannus proliferation, osseous compression and fracture. The fate of the detached spicules, their relationship to "fistulous rheumatism", and the differential diagnosis are discussed.

A comparative study of tumor cells from metastatic carcinoma of the breast in effusions.

Fluids caused by metastatic tumors in body cavities were reviewed for the 20 year period of 1953 through 1972. Presented is a study of 115 cases of effusions secondary to metastatic breast carcinoma with emphasis on recognizing cytologic criteria for various breast tumors and determining which cells occur with consistency. Utilizing various characteristics of both individual and aggregates of malignant cells, specific guidelines were established. Delineating characteristics include cell size, individual cell morphology, and pattern of cellular adherence. These criteria allowed the differentiation between infiltrating ductal carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and lobular carcinoma as well as metastatic tumors from other sites.
