The angiographic and echocardiographic findings of a right ventricular pedunculated rhabdomyoma prolapsing through the pulmonic valve which mimicked the hypoxic spells of tetralogy of Fallot are presented. A dense mass of echoes was seen within the pulmonic valve during systole. The presence of right ventricular tumor was confirmed by angiography and surgery. The abnormal echoes were no longer seen following surgical excision of the tumor.
One hundred patients referred to a teaching hospital breast clinic for as yet undiagnosed breast masses were interviewed during their first visits and prior to assessment by a surgeon. Baseline measures of mental state and coping style were obtained. Despite the purpose of their visits, 74 of the patients were "nonidentifiers" of the breast lump as a problem on their initial contact with the clinic. All patients who were non-identifiers also used denial as a coping mechanism. Nonidentifiers used more than three times the number of avoidant coping mechanisms than "identifiers." Patients with a family history of breast cancer were more likely to be identifiers than those without a family history.
