[Pancreas head tumor in childhood].

In a 13 1/2-year-old girl free of symptoms and clinically healthy until the time of diagnosis a tumor in the head of the pancreas located paraduodenally, was removed using the Whipple technique. Histology revealed an apudome or carcinoid with endocrine activity. Because pancreatic tumors are rarely seen during childhood, and especially apudome and carcinoids are almost never diagnosed, this case presents the unique problems involved in diagnosis and therapy.

[The so-called nasal glioma].

A case of nasal "glioma" is presented. This tumor consists of congenital heterotopic glial tissue and represents an abnormal protrusion of brain substance (exencephalia).

Disorder of collagen metabolism in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (lethal type): increased degree of hydroxylation of lysine in collagen types I and III.

Types I, II and III collagen were isolated from calvarium, skin and cartilage from a patient with recessive lethal osteogenesis imperfecta. the distribution of the various collagen types was normal in all three tissues. The alpha-chains were purified by molecular sieve and ion-exchange chromatography and were found to differ from the corresponding alpha-chains of age-matched controls only in that the alpha 1(I), alpha 2 and alpha 1(III) chains contained higher amounts of hydroxylysine with proportionally less lysine. alpha 1(II) was normal. The excess hydroxylysine residues were all glycosylated in the case of alpha 1(I) chains, but only partly so for the alpha 2 chains. Similar observations were made with collagen from fetuses at various stages of development. In these fetuses, however, the increase in the degree of hydroxylation of lysine in alpha 1(I), alpha 2 and alpha 1(III) varied with age, being highest in the youngest fetus. Seen in the context of embryonic development, the collagen of the patient would correspond to that of a fetus younger than 18 weeks, and one could speculate that the defect seen in this patient is the result of a disturbed process of maturation of connective tissue.

[Experimental study on tissue and cell reactions after implantation of xenogeneic collagen sponges (author's transl)].

164 inbred Wistar rats received subcutaneous and intraperitoneal implants of xenogeneic collagen sponges and were examined by light- and electron microscopy as well as immunohistologically, to establish tissue and cell reactions and the time of collagen reabsorption. 4 to 5 weeks after implantation the xenogeneic collagen sponge was completely absorbed. All the inflammatory and reparative reactions were non-specific. Granulation tissue appeared soon (3 days after implantation) with new synthesis of fine collagen fibrils, mainly of type III, followed by type I collagen fibers. Myofibroblasts, with intracellular evidence of myosin and collagen (Type I and III) were sporadically present in the granulation tissue after day 5 and regularly after day 10. Small scar granulomas without xenogenic collagen were detectable even 4 to 6 months after collagen implantation. Reabsorption and regression of collagen granulomas occurred faster after xenogeneic collagen implantation than after using surgical cat sutures. From the morphological point of view, there is no indication of specific sensitization against xenogeneic collagen or of a specific immunologic process.

Palmar fibromatosis-"Dupuytren's contracture". A comparison of light electron and immunofluorescence microscopic findings.

A comparison of light, immunofluorescence and electron microscopic findings in palmar fibromatosis (Dupuytren's disease) revealed that the three morphologic phase of Luck; I. proliferative, 2. involutional, and 3. residual, corresponded for the most part to I. fibroblastic, 2. myofibroblastic or 3. fibrocytic lesions, respectively. The spectrum between proliferative phase and residual phase appeared immunohistochemically as a decrease in collagen type III, and an increase of collagen type I. Myosin was found in substantial quantities only during the involutional phase, distinguished by myofibroblasts, presumably with contractile capabilities. Thus, the clinical presence of contractures with palmar fibromatosis might also be explained in the absence of distinct fiber formation.
