[Idiopathic osteolysis (Hajdu-Cheney) (author's transl)].

The well-known clinical and radiological findings of idiopathic osteolysis (Hajdu-Cheney) are described in a 17-year old man. He also had retarded puberty, recurrent dislocation of the patella, dental anomalies and markedly elevated alkaline and acid serum phosphatase. The differential diagnosis of this rare condition and its relationship to other bone dysplasias is discussed.

Systemic angioendotheliomatosis (author's transl).

Two cases of systemic angioendotheliomatosis are reported. The first patient was a 20-year-old pregnant Negro woman from Ghana; the diagnosis was established in the biopsy of the skin lesions; the follow up of the patient is unknown. The second patient, a 70-year-old man, presented repeated but transitory loss of sight and speech, later on associated with unconsciousness and convulsions. He died of severe epileptic status two months after the onset of the symptoms. Systemic angioendotheliomatosis was found in the brain as well as in other organs and tissues.

[Intravascular endothelioma (author's transl)].

A 76-year-old woman developed a slowly growing lesion over the right index and the adjacent part of the metacarpus. A cell proliferation filling up the skin veins was classified as intravascular endothelioma. This rather rare oncological entity with a good prognosis should be differentiated from peculiar pattern occasionally seen in organisation of thrombi as well as malignant endothelial tumours.
