[Endoscopic diagnosis of oesophagitis: problems of differentiation from normal (author's transl)].

The diagnostic significance of endoscopically early signs of oesophagitis in the absence of macroscopic evidence of epithelial abnormalities has been studied prospectively. Changes from the usually observed shininess, pale-pink colour, smooth texture, regular capillaries, sharp Z-line and a decreased mechanical resistance of the mucosa to mechanical damage do not indicate oesophagitis. Nor should one infer gastro-oesophageal reflux from these endoscopic findings. They are presumably ageing changes in the oesophagus.

Phlegmonous gastritis diagnosed by endoscopic snare biopsy.

A case of phlegmonous gastritis, diagnosed for the first time without laparotomy and with spontaneous recovery, is described. The only procedure allowing nonsurgical diagnosis of this disease is endoscopic snare ("jumbo") biopsy of the giant folds in the diseased parts of the stomach. Snare biopsy includes submucosal tissue which is the main site of histological changes in phlegmonous gastritis.

[Double neoplasms in larynx and lung].

The incidence of primary malignant tumors in both the larynx and the bronchial system has been studied in the autopsy material of the Institute of Pathology, University of Zurich. In a total of 29,849 autopsies performed from 1960 to 1972, carcinomas of the bronchus were found in 1382 patients (4.6%) and carcinomas of the larynx in 214 patients (0.7%). 17 patients had primary carcinomas in both the larynx and the bronchus. The coexistence of both these carcinomas is about twice as frequent as their calculated chance combination. The importance of appropriate clinical examination of patients with lung or larynx carcinoma is accordingly stressed.
