[The nucleolus organizer region (Ag NORS) in urothelial tumors. Apropos of 10 cases].

The authors study nucleolar organisers (Ag NORS) in ten cases of urothelial tumours, graded as grade I in five cases, grade II in two cases, grade III in two cases and intermediate grade II-III in one case. Study of the NOR index showed a mean value of 3.89 for grade I, 4.66 for grade II, 5.88 for grade III and 4.90 for the intermediate grade II-III. Different values were recorded in the same heterogeneous tumours containing tumour zones of different grades, providing an additional argument in favour of the heterogeneity of these urothelial tumours and accounting for the difficulties of their classification reported in the literature. Adequate sampling should allow a more objective and more representative study of all of the tumours examined.

Humans

[A case of bladder pheochromocytoma].

Phaeochromocytoma is an endocrine neuroectodermal tumour usually located in the adrenal gland, but occasionally arising in other organs. The authors report a case of a vesical phaeochromocytoma presenting with haematuria. Radiological and endoscopic investigations revealed a right laterovesical submucosal tumour. Partial cystectomy was performed. The normality of the postoperative endocrine survey suggested disappearance of the tumour and absence of any other sites.

Adult

[Meso-omental cystic lymphoma. Considerations apropos of 4 cases].

Cystic meso-omental lymphangiomas are uncommon benign tumors. When symptoms arise, the correct diagnosis is only exceptionally considered. These tumors may be revealed by a variety of clinical pictures which, in fact, are not specific. Cystic meso-omental lymphangiomas are usually diagnosed in pediatric patients, although they may arise in adults. The four patients who are reported on are adults. Diagnosis was established upon histopathological examination of specimens removed during surgery or autopsy. Data from a review of the medical literature provides a basis for a clinical and above all pathological study of cystic meso-omental lymphangiomas. Prognosis is usually favorable although it is dependent upon the conditions of surgical management.
