Non-secretory solitary plasmacytoma of the spleen.

A case of primary nonsecretory plasmacytoma of the spleen is reported. On laparotomy and splenectomy a 920 g spleen was removed, measuring 16 x 14 x 6 cm. The cut surface of the entire spleen showed that the tumour occupied most of the splenic tissue. A bone marrow aspirate and trephine, skeletal survey showed no signs of myeloma. Biopsy of the liver and regional lymph nodes was normal. Immunocytochemistry of the splenic tumour showed positivity for pan-B and plasma cell markers. After splenectomy the patient was treated with chemotherapy according to protocol VBCMP (M2).

[Isolated tuberculosis of the liver--case report].

Tuberculosis of the liver is rare even in areas where tuberculosis is widespread. Isolated tuberculosis of the liver is extremely rare. It usually presents as a nodular - pseudo-tumorous form. Tuberculosis of the bile ducts is even less frequent. A 37 year old woman with nodular - pseudotumorous form of tuberculosis of the liver is presented. The diagnosis was established after surgical biopsy and histology. It may be caused by the bovine type of the bacillus. The patient had an excellent response to tuberculostatic drugs. Tuberculosis of the liver must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of the liver masses.
