Some problems on the histopathological diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma -- a proposal of a new type.

A new classification for non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma is proposed as the one suited for the Lymphomas in Japan, which is to provide a new subtype "pleomorphic" for those more or less rapid-growing lymphomas of peripheral T-cell nature, along with another subtype lymphoblastic, after Nathwani et al. for those of central T-cell nature. The proposal is based on the result of the investigation by the Study Group for Histopathological Diagnosis on Malignant Lymphoma that (1) the presence of a significant number of T-cell lymphomas with peculiar "pleomorphism" is responsible for the very low reproducibility rate of histopathological diagnosis on the diffuse, mixed L&H type of Rappaport classification, and (2) the relative incidence of lymphoms as peripheral T-cell nature including the so-called adult T-cell leukemia is much higher in Japan than in the Western countries.

Myocardial infarction due to metastasis of choriocarcinoma in a 29-year-old woman.

A rare and instructive case of myocardial infarction in a 29-year-old woman was presented. In this case it was clinically suspected that myocardial infarction was due to metastatic choriocarcinoma of the heart. This was confirmed by autopsy. It was emphasized that metastatic choriocarcinoma of the heart could be a cause of myocardial infarction in young women.

Radiation therapy for primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the head and neck in stages I and II.

From January 1975 through December 1986, 58 previously untreated patients with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the head and neck in stages I and II were treated at our department. Thirty-seven patients were classified as stage I and 21 as stage II. Complete local remission was obtained in all cases. The 5-year survival rates were 68% and 79% in stages I and II, respectively. The 5-year survival rates according to site of origin were as follows: Waldeyer's ring 77% and neck lymph node 63%. The 5-year survival rates according to the histological classification of the Working Formulation were 73% intermediate grade malignancy and 63% for high grade malignancy. Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy was essential, especially for cases in stage II. The 5-year survival rate was 100% for patients with chemotherapy and 71% without chemotherapy. The relapse-free 5-year survival rate was 67% with chemotherapy and 36% without chemotherapy. Most first failures were due to the development of generalized disease and the 5-year survival rate after salvage was 44%.

Cerebello-brain stem orthochromatic leukodystrophy with floppiness and bulbar paralysis.

A two year and ten-month-old girl with cerebello-brain stem leukodystrophy is presented. She was hypotonic with spasticity and showed delayed motor development until she was twelve months old, when regression of motor activities began. Progressive hypotonia, dysphagia and fatal respiratory abnormalities developed. Auditory brain stem response was absent. Pathological examination revealed primary demyelination with a predilection for the cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord, in association with changes of the cerebellar cortex, pontine nuclei, inferior olivary nuclei and part of the basal ganglia. Clinical, pathological and biochemical studies revealed that this disease is different from metachromatic leukodystrophy, Krabbe's globoid cell leukodystrophy and adrenoleukodystrophy. The clinical entity of cerebello-brain stem orthochromatic leukodystrophy is discussed.
