[Prostatic sarcoma: point of view of the pathologist].
The authors describe here briefly the different prostatic sarcomas and insist on the very peculiar entity called inflammatory pseudo- sarcoma or spindle cell post operative nodule.

[Multiple condylomata of the urethra and bladder disclosing HIV infection].
The authors report the case of a 26 year old man, in whom recurrent hematuria revealed the diagnosis of urethral condylomata with bladder extension, and HIV serology positive. This case reminds us that it is essential to search for immunodeficiency in every case of extensive or recurrent condylomata. The analysis of such cases in the literature allows discussion of the various clinical courses according to the Human Papilloma Virus types found in condylomatous tissues.

[Immunohistochemical characteristics of malignant melanoma. A study of 40 cases and review of the literature].
An immunohistochemical study of 40 primary and secondary malignant melanomas in 27 patients, with routinely-used monoclonal antibodies, demonstrated the antigenic pattern exhibited by these tumors, as well as the frequency of aberrant positivities for epithelial cell markers. The following results were found: 95% of melanomas stained positively for S100 protein and vimentin, which is the characteristic immunohistochemical pattern in melanomas. In most cases, the primary tumor and its metastases in a given patient had the same antigenic phenotype. As for epithelial markers, 10% of melanomas stained positively for KL1 and 27.5% for EMA. Despite this relatively high frequency of KL1 and EMA positivities, in practice, simultaneous positivity for S100 protein and vimentin, confronted with the patient's history and with histologic features, firmly establishes the diagnosis of malignant melanoma in virtually all cases.
