[Hepatic syphillis with amyloïdosis and chronic diarrhea. A discussion of etiologic mechanisms (author's transl)].

A sixty-four year-old woman was admitted for chronic diarrhea with severe weight loss. Investigations showed hepatomegaly, positive serologic tests for syphilis, and nephrotic syndrome with proteinuria. Anasarca occurred and the patient died shortly after admission. Necropsy showed sclero-gummatous hepatic syphilis, generalized amyloïdosis and ulcerative colitis. These last two manifestations and their association with tertiary stage syphilis are discussed.

[Limited resection in partial surgery for carcinoma of the larynx. Prognostic consequences and therapeutic implications].

Limited resection in partial surgery for carcinoma of the larynx leads to discussion of three surgical attitudes: total surgical resection as a matter of principle, additional treatment by radiotherapy, or waiting, with the need for strict surveillance. The present study reports the results of this latter attitude adopted in 23 cases out of 24 of limited resection in a group involving 119 partial laryngectomies (vertical or horizontal) consisting of: 57 cordectomies, 20 hemilaryngectomies, 42 supraglottal laryngectomies. Results of analysis show that there was no recurrence and patients were well with a 3 year follow-up in 19 cases of limited resection out of 24. Overall survival following limited resection was identical to that seen after satisfactory resection, but there was a marked difference with insufficient resection (X2 significant) Following partial laryngeal surgery involving a limit resection, it is felt to be legitimate to temporise as long as the patient can be seen regularly. Such an approach would not seem to modify the overall survival in these patients.

[Visceral Kaposi sarcoma with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and latent sicca syndrome (author's transl)].

A case clinically and morphologically typical angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy in a 64-year old man is reported. A sicca syndrome was discovered with histological localization in the labial accessory salivary glands. Death occurred after a course of a few months. The autopsy showed an association of angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy lesions of the bone marrow and the lymph node and of typical multivisceral localizations of Kaposi's sarcoma (lymph node, liver, thyroïdd gland) without skin involvement. This association of two diseases characterized by severe dysimmunity with B lymphocytes hyperplasia is discussed, and compared to the others diseases which could be associated with Kaposi's sarcoma.

[Modified subcutaneous mastectomy. Apropos of 916 cases].

Modified subcutaneous mastectomy was described by one of us in 1968; its approach, the dissection of the gland, plastic reconstruction of shape and volume are completely different from the subcutaneous mastectomy performed by plastic surgeons. 3 different time periods were studied to explain clearly evolution in the technic and indications. During many years retrospective studies made it possible to build a procedure according to the new diagnostic means for infraclinical breast cancer and to the constant improving prosthetic material. Therefore our indications for modified subcutaneous mastectomy are as following: suspicious mastopathies are the best indications with a performing choice of the radiologic images which require histologic control some evolutive or evoluated mastopathies some small infiltrating tumors developing in a highly dystrophic glandular surrounding. The numerous in situ cancers accompanying them argue for this choice. some big phyllod tumors or phyllod's recurrences.
