[Ultrastructural changes in transplantation glomerulopathy].

Twenty-eight biopsy specimens were obtained from patients 3-95 months after kidney transplantation and studied by light, electron and in some cases also by immunofluorescence microscopy. Electron microscopic studies showed that the most frequent glomerular lesion was widening of lamina rata interna which is accompanied with subendothelial accumulation of finely granular material, formation of new subendothelial basement membrane and deposition of microfibrils and fine filaments. The mesangial changes were mainly those of mesangiolysis and mesangial sclerosis with deposition of mesangial matrix and microfibrils, but little cellular proliferation. Fragmented red blood cells were seen in nearly half of the patients. Arterial intimal thickening and occasionally also thrombosis produced ischaemic changes in the kidney and in the glomeruli and contributed to the process of transplant rejection.

[Electron microscopic analysis of eosinophilic renal cell carcinoma].

Renal cell carcinoma with cytoplasmic eosinophilic globules visualized on routine histologic preparations was analyzed. Eosinophilic globules in cytoplasm of the cells in renal cell carcinoma are very rate and till today we have not heard or found in the literature an attempt to analyze and describe them and that was the aim of our study. By electron microscopy, the globules most closely resembled non-membrane bound filamentous material that normally constitutes the cytoskeleton of normal and neoplastic renal epithelium.

Ménétrier's disease in a child.

A case of Ménétrier's disease in a 3 year old child presenting with subtotal pyloric stenosis and fatal outcome due to postoperative complications is reported. It is emphasized that although radiographic and gastroscopic studies are helpful, a full-thickness mucosal biopsy is essential for the diagnosis of Ménétrièr's disease.

[Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney in children].

Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a distinct, highly malignant renal tumour of childhood which was diagnosed in 5 (3.9%) of 133 primary renal tumours in children under 15 years of age in the period from 1976 to 1990. The clinical and pathological features of these patients are presented. The most common clinical features were abdominal mass and haematuria. The male to female ratio was 1: 1.5 and there was predilection for the left side (4:1). The age of patients varied from 5 months to 4 years (average age 23 months). In four children the tumour was in Stage I, and in one child in Stage II. Three tumours showed classical microscopic pattern of CCSK. The treatment for all patients consisted of preoperative chemotherapy, radical surgery and additional aggressive chemotherapy. Four patients developed metastases: three of them to bones and one to the liver. Three patients died of the tumour, one is alive but with the tumour (3 years follow-up), and one child is alive and without any evidence of disease (3-years follow-up). Although relatively uncommon, these tumours are responsible for 50% of all children's deaths from renal tumours and, so, their precise classification is essential for proper treatment.
