[Breast microcalcifications].

Microcalcifications of the breast are better recognized as the quality of mammographs is improving. The clinical examination and complementary modalities are often essential to evaluate their significance and point out to an indication for surgery. However, especially when the microcalcifications are detected during a systematic examination, a strict analysis of mammographs is essential. The number of useless punctures must be reduced, as their psychological impact and socioeconomic weight are already demonstrated. Although there is no consensus, most recent publications contain ideas converging on the selection of the indications for a histological control on the basis of an accurate semiological study.

[Extramammary carcinoid tumor metastatic to the breast. Apropos of a case].

We report the case of a 42-year-woman treated for an appendicular carcinoid tumor with bilateral ovary metastases and mesenteric node involvement. After a systematic mammography, an infraclinical lesion of the breast was detected. Mammographic and echographic images revealed nodular mass with possibly malignant features. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy indicated malignancy. The definitive diagnosis of breast metastasis of a carcinoid tumor was made by biopsy. This case is related to 14 previously published cases. The authors emphasize the importance of making a precise histological diagnosis to avoid overtreatment of a metastatic lesion.

[Relative increase and metacritic aggravation in the diagnosis of anicteric cholestasis].

The authors report 3 cases and report the diagnostic usefulness of two signs of minor cholestasis described by one of them in 1966. A relative increase, in the absence of obvious virus hepatitis or cirrhosis, of the serum bilirubin, cholesterol, lipids and alkaline phosphatase, together with B.S.P. excretion. suggest minor cholestasis. The sign of "metacritical aggravation" when there is some suspicion of minor cholestasis, the supervision of the course of the disease, or a retrospective inquiry, permit, in the presence of minor symptoms, such as, pain, fever, jaundice, or pruritus, one to make the diagnosis of minor cholestasis. The latter is due either to the presence of small gall stones in the common bile duct, or to inflammation of the ampulla of Vater, or sphincter of Oddi, a Vaterian ampulloma, pancreatitis, or following damage to the common bile duct. In practice, liver biopsy confirms the diagnosis, and intravenous cholangiography, by the perfusion method, is usually able to demonstrate obstruction of the common bile duct.
