Giant coeloadenoma of the kidney.

A case of giant adenoma of the kidney is described with special regard to the histological and ultrastructural features of the neoplastic cells. The tumoral proliferation consisted mainly of clear and dark epithelial cells among which cells of a third type are occasionally interspersed. A possible origin of this last population from the coelomatic lining is suggested and the hypothesis of a dysontogenetic nature of the neoplasia is purposed.

Human malignant diffuse mesothelioma: submicroscopic study on the epithelial component.

A submicroscopic analysis of eight cases of malignant diffuse mesothelioma was performed. Unlike normal and hyperplastic mesothelium, well differentiated neoplastic cells were found to have a prominent RER and a conspicuous Golgi system. By using a postfixation in osmium ferrocyanide, an amorphous substance was observed in the extracellular space. These features may be related to the ability of malignant diffuse mesothelioma to produce large amounts of hyaluronic acid. The significance of groups of membrane bound dense bodies found in seven of eight cases examined is also discussed.

Plasma and tissue distribution of adriamycin in patients with pelvic cancer.

The levels of adriamycin in plasma, ascitic fluid and normal and neoplastic tissues sampled during surgery of 3 patients with advanced pelvic cancer were measured by fluorimetry. The highest content of fluorescent compounds was found in tumoral masses in necrotic or scarcely viable tissue; viable and invasive tumor areas scored fluorescence levels comparable with normal adnexa. Ascitic fluid contained levels of fluorescence comparable to the last observed phase of plasma levels. Adipose and cutaneous tissue scored the lowest concentrations.

Saccular aneurysm of infancy and early childhood: report of a case.

A case of intracranial saccular aneurysm with intracerebral haematoma occurring in early childhood and presenting with sudden loss of consciousness and right hemiparesis is reported. The aneurysm was located in the opercular portion of the left middle cerebral artery. Surgery, besides removing the intracerebral haematoma, involved clipping and complete removal of the aneurysmal sac. The child made an uneventful recovery, and he is completely safe after 40 months. Microscopic examination of the lesion shows disruption of the normal sequence of the original layers, with widespread inflammatory cells.

The Empty Sella syndrome secondary to Rathke's cleft cyst.

A case of Empty Sella secondary to Rathke's cleft cyst, successfully operated on, is reported. Asymptomatic cysts of Rathke's pouch are fairly frequent autopsy observations. They can cause optic-chiasmatic and endocrine symptomatology or, very rarely, an Empty Sella syndrome if the cyst is very large.

Immunopathology and microvascular lesions in human sympathetic ganglia.

Lumbar sympathetic ganglia surgically removed from adult patients affected by obstructive peripheral arteriopathies are investigated with traditional histology and fluorescent antibody technique. The presence of various pictures of microangiopathy is confirmed, mainly haemodynamic (hyaline-oedematous perivascular thickening) phenomena. Since specific fluorescence is absent from any lesion, the autoimmune pathogenic hypothesis may be discarded.
