[Atypical cutaneous sporotrichosis. The response to itraconazole and surgery].

Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous (rarely extracutaneous) fungal disease caused by Sporothrix schenckii. Cutaneous sporotrichosis has two well-defined forms: lymphocutaneous and stable. In lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis, lesions arise along lymphatic vessels, generally in limbs. The stable form is rarer and consists of a single, generally facial, lesion. We report the case of a 70-year-old male farmer with a single lesion on the right nostril that had been removed repeatedly. After 5 years, new, linearly distributed lesions appeared. Fungal cultures of biopsy tissues revealed S. schenckii. The evolution and response to treatment with itraconazole, potassium iodide, terbinafine, and surgery is discussed.

[Value of LDH in the diagnosis of pseudocystic renal cancer].

An asymptomatic case of cystic renal carcinoma is presented. The only diagnosis of certainty was given by a marked increase in L.D.H. levels in the fluid of the tumor after puncture. The pros and cons of imaging studies, and the relative lack of value of aspiration cytology when negative results are encountered are discussed. The pathological anatomical findings of the nephrectomy sample certified the diagnosis, showing the presence of a pseudocystic adenocarcinoma due to intratumor necrosis.

[Radical surgery of locally advanced prostatic cancer].

Retrospective study in 51 patient with locally advanced prostate cancer (34 pT3 and 17 N+) selected from 88 radical prostatectomies performed between February 1985 and December 1993. An evaluation is made of the clinical/pathological stage correlation and the effectiveness of the different diagnostic methods (61% of understaging). The possibility to rescue locally spread tumours is analyzed, 7/51 (13.72%) patients receiving pre-operative neoadjuvant hormonal therapy. Estimated survival at 8 years was 82.6% of all patients treated with radical surgery and, at the end of the study, the situation of 30/46 (65.2%) patients assessed by digital rectal examination, quality of life index, PSA follow-up, abdominal ultrasound and/or CT, bone scan and chest X-ray, was an estimated 8-year disease-free evolution. It is observed that radical surgery and the post-surgical hormonal approach permit good survival in locally advanced prostate cancer and that the use of a neoadjuvant hormonal approach permit good survival in locally advanced prostate cancer and that the use of a neoadjuvant hormonal approach allows in many cases the rescue of patients for radical surgery.
