[Scleroderma in pregnancy].

The case of a 23-year-old patient with scleroderma in her first pregnancy is described. The problem complexes, the influence of the disease on the continuation of pregnancy, and how the pregnancy affects the prognosis of the scleroderma are discussed and compared with the global literature. It does not appear possible to prove that scleroderma has a specifically deleterious effect on mother and child during pregnancy. Nor does a pregnancy definitely have a positive or negative effect on the subsequent course of a scleroderma.

[The incidence of breast carcinoma following roentgen radiotherapy at the Marburg University Women's Clinic].

A lot of women still object to mammography for fear of induction of carcinoma by radioactive rays. Even a large number of doctors are not informed about the fact that during the last ten years the dosage necessary for examination could be extremely reduced. In a follow-up examination of 61 females who had undergone a therapy of mastitis with a dosage of 3 X 80 R between 1949 and 1958, an enhanced risk of carcinoma could not be ascertained.

[Improvement in the early detection of breast cancer by thermography].

In the last few years thermography lost some of its value in the diagnosis of breast cancer because of the changeover to x-ray mammography and ultrasound mammography. Nevertheless, it is still a very useful additional method, especially if the doctor can only perform a clinical examination. Combination of thermography and clinical examination produces better results. In case of pathological vascularisation, clinically occult carcinomas can be detected.

Breast↗

[Differential diagnosis of the axillary lymph node].

The authors report on clinically abnormal palpatory findings in the axilla. The radiology and sonography of these findings is described, as well as differential diagnosis between normal findings and benign as well as malignant changes. If it is not possible to confirm a benign aspect even by means of examination via relevant equipment, histological clarification must be sought whenever there is a new palpatory finding or if changes are noted.

Axilla↗

[Unusual malignancies of the breast region].

Three cases of rare sites of malignomas in the human breast are reported: malignant lymphoma (centrocytic - centroblastic) with generalised lymph node involvement, metastasis of a malignant melanoma, and a metastatic angiosarcoma. Problems of preoperative diagnosis are discussed.

[Initial clinical experiences with grid mammography].

The article reports on a comparison between 100 x-ray films (preparation radiographies, mammographies) with grid and a film/foil combination on the one hand, and conventional x-ray technique with material testing x-ray film on the other. The clear superiority of grid mammography is demonstrated by means of case examples.

[Value of interoperative preparation radiography for the detection of minimal cancer (author's transl)].

The article reports on 31 carcinomas of the breast in the minimal cancer stage. This includes noninvasive and infiltrative carcinomas which had grown to a diameter of up to 5 mm. The patients were examined clinically, thermographically and by mammography. In 22 cases, puncture was performed under positional control of the puncture needle for the purpose of cytological or microhistological diagnosis. On the basis of these results, on-target extirpation of tissue was performed under control by interoperative preparation radiography in 24 patients; in 7 cases (29.1%) it became necessary to perform subsequent resection, in a few cases even repeatedly. It would not have been possible to detect these minimal cancers safely and to subsequently remove them by surgery without the aid of this interoperatively performed radiological examination.

[Ultrasound mammography:special applications (author's transl)].

Clinical observations on more than 700 patients between September 1979 and October 1980 are reported. If cysts are suspected clinically, ultrasound mammography provides the most reliable diagnosis and is superior to all other methods for localization, fine-needle biopsy and follow-up. Since it is difficult to assess (due to summation effects), the radiologically dense breast (DY) is a further indication for sonography. In case of excentrically located palpatory findings, pregnant or immobile patients, ultrasound mammography can provide valuable diagnostic information.
