[Clinico-pathological study of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis].

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is an uncommon lesion which may form a tumor-like mass in inflamed gallbladders. In a review of 44 cases there were 40 associated with gallstones which had been incarcerated in the neck of the gallbladder, 10 with past histories of abdominal surgeries, 15 with diabetes mellitus, three with carcinomas in the neck of the gallbladder and four with carcinomas in the other organs. Radiologically the differential diagnosis of gallbladder cancer and XGC was difficult in several cases. Thirty five cases of XGC have been diagnosed as chronic cholecystitis and 7 have been mistaken for feature of XGC in the contrast enhancement CT that is, detection of an intramural low density mass with continuously enhanced internal membraneous layer of the gallbladder wall. In view of the clinico-pathological findings of XGC, the lesions appear to result from intramural extravasation of bile and subsequent xanthogranulomatous reaction under obstructive conditions in the neck of the gallbladder. We conclude that XGC is not an uncommon special type of cholecystitis but an accompanied lesion sometimes seen in a kind of cholecystitis.

[Surgical experience with tracheoplasty].

We have had experience with 31 tracheoplastic procedures. Underlying diseases consisted of primary tumor, cancer invasion from carcinoma of the thyroid gland and the esophagus, traumatic rupture and post-tracheostomy and tuberculous stenoses. During operation, respiratory support has been satisfactorily established by using the intubation method via the operative field and/or high frequency ventilation instrument. Furthermore, development of absorbable suture material like Dexon and Vicryl benefited by minimizing granulation stenosis at anastomosis due to less foreign body reaction. The prognosis for carcinomatous involvement from surrounding organs was much worse according to advanced cancer stages. However, surgical outcome of this procedure was satisfactory in terms of relieving respiratory distress.

[Clinical trial of CSF-HU (colony-stimulating factor derived from human urine: P-100) on granulocytopenia induced by anticancer therapy in urogenital cancer patients].

We examined the value of the CSF-HU preparation (colony-stimulating factor derived from human urine: P-100) to prevent or treat granulocytopenia induced by anticancer chemotherapy. Subjects were urogenital cancer patients who underwent two courses of the same chemotherapy regimen. Among these patients, we selected the subjects whose leucocyte counts were decreased to less than 2000/mm3 after the first course of anticancer chemotherapy. P-100 was administered from the following day of the end of the second course of chemotherapy at a dose of 8,000,000 units/day by intravenous drip infusion for 7 successive days. According to the global evaluation by consideration of changes in leucocyte and granulocyte counts, the utility rate by physicians was 52.4% (22/42), and that by a committee was 50.0% (18/36). No difference was seen in utility rate and efficacy rate according to P.S., cancer types and antineoplastic drugs used. Side effects were noted only in 2.3% (1/44) which was mild and transient fever. These findings suggest that P-100 is a very useful drug for prevention and/or treatment of granulocytopenia following cancer chemotherapy.

[Intrascrotal malignant fibrous histiocytoma: a case report and review of the literature].

A 75-year-old man visited our clinic on November 11, 1982 with the complaint of a painless mass in the right scrotum. The mass was hen's egg sized and hard. Surgery was performed under the diagnosis of testicular tumor. Right hemiscrotectomy with right inguinal orchiectomy was performed because of a scrotal skin invasion of the tumor. The spermatic cord, testis and epididymis were grossly normal. The tumor was located just beneath the testis, and it was considered to be scrotal tunicus in origin. The tumor was elastic and hard, and the cut surface showed a yellowish white and lobulated appearance. The histological diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Postoperatively, radiotherapy for a total dosage of 4,910 rads was given. The patient is alive and well without any sign of recurrence 19 months after operation. The 20 cases reported in Europe, America and Japan, including our case, were tabulated and some discussion is made.

Pathological study on livers with noncirrhotic portal hypertension and portal venous thromboembolic occlusion: report of seven autopsy cases.

Seven adult autopsied cases with noncirrhotic portal hypertension and thromboembolic occlusion of the large extra- and intrahepatic portal veins are presented. There were two types of portal venous occlusion: old thromboembolic occlusion (group A, two cases) and fresh thromboembolic occlusion (group B, five cases). In group A the occlusion was complete and the affected veins, which were identified clearly by elastic fiber stains, were characteristically shrunk to cause a long-standing portal hypertension. Extra- and intrahepatic collaterals were prominent. In group B the extra- and, sometimes, intrahepatic larger portal veins with fresh thromboemboli revealed variable degrees of phlebosclerosis, probably resulting from organization of repeated portal venous thromboemboli. These sclerotic changes further extended into the medium-sized and smaller intrahepatic portal veins. The latter and other hepatic morphology resembled those of idiopathic portal hypertension without larger portal venous occlusion (group C). Thus, in group B the widespread involvement of the portal venous system by thromboembolic events, particularly the smaller ones, might be important not only for the development of portal hypertension but also for understanding the hepatic pathology of idiopathic portal hypertension.
