[Primary combined chemotherapy following removal of an endodermal sinus tumor or yolk-sac tumor of the ovary (author's transl)].

The yolk-sac tumor or endodermal sinus tumor is a rare but highly malignant ovarian teratoma with its highest incidence in young women. The tumor is relatively resistant to radiotherapy but sensitive to combined chemotherapy and should therefore be differentiated in the diagnosis from embryonal carcinoma and radio-sensitive dysgerminomas of the ovary. It is possible that the determination of alpha-fetoprotein is of differential diagnostic value. Two patients are alive and well 8 months and 2 1/2 years following removal of a yolk-sac tumor and primary chemotherapy. One patient received chemotherapy for peritoneal recurrence after removal of the tumor and radiotherapy. She died 1 1/2 years following the primary operation. Long term chemotherapy of the yolk-sac tumor is indicated following operation, irrespective of the stage of the tumor.

[Epididymitis Tuberculosa in the Change of Time. A study of the bioptic material of forty years (1932-1971)].

Significance and course of epididymitis tuberculosa are explored by means of all the bioptic material of a forty years period. The results from the time before and after the introduction of the tuberculostatica are compared with each other. Shortly before and during the second world war and also at the end of the fifties the epididymitis tuberculosa was seen very frequently. It decreases since 1959. Generally the isolated epididymis is affected. In a number of cases the tuberculous inflammation is also spreading out to the homolateral testicle, the vas deferens and the tunica vaginalis testis. Evidently during the third decade the tuberculous epididymitis is increasing rapidly. Most cases are observed in the forth decade. The morphologic picture of the epididymitis tuberculosa has changed. During the first 20 years more cases of the granulomatous type have been observed, whereas during the following 20 years more cases of the necrotising type are present.
