[Immunohistochemical study of 6 multiple familial cervical paragangliomas with lymph node metastasis in one case].

Cervical localizations of extra-adrenal paragangliomas are infrequently malignant, especially in their familial forms. An immunohistochemical study was performed on 6 cervical paragangliomas which were detected in 3 sisters at the age of 20 20. One had a lymph node metastasis. This study confirmed the diagnosis of paraganglioma with endocrine chief cells and supratentacular cells. It also enabled the hormonal contents of these cervical paraganglioma to be determined. In addition to catecholamine, these tumors may (like pheochromocytomas) produce serotonin and one or more other peptides.

[Carney's complex (myxomas, pigmented spots and endocrine hyperactivity). Apropos of a partial form in monozygotic twins].

The authors describe monozygotic twins with right ventricular myxoma, one of whom had cutaneous myxomas, large cell calcifying Sertoli cell tumor of the testis (a lesion which was certainly latent in his brother) and recurrent cardiac myxoma. These elements are manifestations of "Carney's complex". This recently reported inherited syndrome should be recognized by pathologists because of major risk of cardiac myxoma. Cutaneous lesions, specially cutaneous myxomas, are heralds of this syndrome.
