"Primary" spinal epidural lymphomas. A clinico-pathological study.

The surgical records at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore, revealed 75 cases of spinal epidural malignant tumours operated on in a period of 8 years (1972-1980). Of these, 21 cases (30.4%) were labelled as "primary" spinal lymphomas, with no evidence of any systemic lymphomatous deposit anywhere in the body at the time of surgery. An analysis of their clinical behaviour, treatment, histological classification, and prognosis showed that a (majority of the patients had lower limb weakness and localized pain at the site of lesion as the presenting clinical symptom, b) laminectomy with decompression of the tumour followed by radiotherapy was the treatment of choice, c) histologically mixed histiocytic lymphocytic variety of lymphoma was commonest, and d) six survivors had a histiocytic lymphocytic lymphoma, suggesting a better prognosis associated with this type.

Multiple sclerosing haemangiomas of the lung.

A case of mulitple sclerosing haemangiomas of the lung is described from a 40-year-old woman, who presented with haemoptysis. A chest X-ray revealed multiple circumscribed coin lesions in both lungs. A right upper lobectomy was done for diagnosis. The patient has remained well for 2 years after surgery. Multiplicity of tumour masses of pulmonary sclerosing haemangiomas is extremely rare and, although benign, may pose a great diagnostic problem.

Immunoblastic lymphadenopathy--report of a case.

A case of immunoblastic lymphadenopathy has been presented which had the characteristic clinical and histological features. The patient did not respond to chemotherapy and succumbed to the disease. Instead of the usual polyclonal gammopathy associated with this condition, he showed a fall in IgM levels, IgG and IgA being within normal limits. The significance of the latter finding is not known.
