[Bladder paraganglioma].

By definition, the term paraganglioma includes all the tumours deriving from the body's paraganglion system, which are therefore ranked as intra-adrenal (pheochromocytoma) and extra-adrenal or paraganglion. Vesical paraganglion represents about 10% of all extra-adrenal paraganglioma and can be functional and non-functional. When functional, the symptoms are those originated from the products synthesised in excess, usually occurring in a paroxismical fashion, in relation with urination, ejaculation and defecation. Contribution of one vesical paraganglioma accidentally found in a 71 year-old female patients undergoing tests to study the extent of a right kidney carcinosarcoma.

[Differentiated thyroid cancer on the thyroglossal duct].

Over one hundred cases of carcinomas located on the thyroglossal duct have been reported worldwide. Most of these tumors originally were differentiated thyroid cancers. Their biological behavior is the same as that of tumors of the thyroid gland itself. On the basis of one case discovered in an 11-year-old girl, who presented with regional and systemic metastases, we discuss the various aspects of their origin, diagnosis and treatment. As far as the latter is concerned, we think that these tumors can not always be treated by exeresis of the thyroglossal duct. On the basis of the analysis of situations in which these tumors may be encountered, we propose a carcinological surgery, which might possibly be more aggressive, on the thyroid and cervical lymphatic tissues.

[Sarcomatoid renal carcinoma].

The authors present a case of sarcomatoid kidney adenocarcinome of the fibrosarcomatoid kind. They stress the importance and difficulty of making a differential diagnosis between the sarcomatoid type of kidney adenocarcinomas and pure sarcomas of the kidney, this being an entirely histopathological and extremely complex diagnosis. They comment upon the possible histogenesis in the sense that they may be sarcomatoid areas deriving from the stroma or from a cellular metaplasia of the adenocarcinoma.
