[Gliosarcoma associated with von Recklinghausen's disease: a case report].

A very rare case of gliosarcoma with von Recklinghausen's disease is presented. A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in March 1990, because of a 2-month history of personality change and left hemiparesis. Multiple neurofibroma over his whole body with many café au lait spots had been present since early childhood. His mother, brothers and children also had café au lait spots. Neurological examination on admission revealed memory disturbance, left homonymous hemianopsia and left hemiparesis. CT scan showed a large lobular lesion in the right temporoparietal region. The medial hypodense part was sharply demarcated by a ring-like enhancement, while the lateral isodense part was homogeneously enhanced. MRI showed a sharply demarcated high intensity lesion with Gd-EDTA enhancement corresponding to the enhanced area on CT. Faint staining on angiography revealed that the blood supply to the tumor was predominantly dural. At surgery, the tumor was solid and highly vascular, and adhered tightly to the dura. The superficial part of the tumor was well demarcated from the brain tissue, but the demarcation was obscure in the deeper part. Histological findings showed two clearly defined neoplastic components: a gliomatous component that was stained for GFAP, and a sarcomatous component that had spindle-shaped nuclei and eosinophilic fibers. The patient underwent radiotherapy after surgery, but the tumor soon recurred. A second operation was performed, but the tumor had infiltrated into the scalp and he died 10 months after the first operation. This combination is very rare and has not been reported previously.

Translocation t(8;16)(p11;p13) in neonatal acute monocytic leukaemia.

A recent report demonstrated that t(8;16) (p11;p13) may be linked to acute monocytic leukaemia (AMoL) of differentiated subtype (M5b) with active haemophagocytosis by leukaemic cells. Only two cases of neonatal AMoL with t(8;16) (p11;p13) have been reported; M5b with haemophogocytosis and M5a. We report a case of neonatal AMoL (M5b) with t(8;16)(p11;p13), but haemophagocytosis by the leukaemic cells was not detected.

Mandibular alveolar ridge extension method using a surgical splint with porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles.

The mandibular alveolar ridge extension method is a surgical technique to extend the alveolar ridge up to the required level. Using a surgical splint prepared to meet the clinical requirements establishes the desirable alveolar ridge extension with porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles. Before the operation, a working cast of the extremely resorpted mandibular alveolar ridge is remodeled into its desired shape with paraffin wax, and the extended surgical splint is cured by clear acrylic resin. After subperiosteal tunnel dissection, the surgical splint is fixed to the mandible with circummandibular ligatures; then the HAP particles are injected into the tunnel. After healing, a treatment denture is cured between the artificial dentition and the surgical splint with self curing resin. In this method, the HAP particles are injected into the subperiosteal tunnel that is created between the surface of alveolar bone and the periosteum covered by the surgical splint; the migration of HAP particles completes the extension of the alveoral ridge.

Osteonecrosis of vertebrae in a child with acute lymphocytic leukaemia during L-asparaginase therapy.

We report a child with acute lymphocytic leukaemia who developed simultaneous osteonecrosis of vertebrae and cerebral thrombosis during L-asparaginase therapy. Fibrinogen, antithrombin III and plasminogen were decreased. Fresh frozen plasma in addition to antithrombin III concentrates were used to replenish these haemostatic proteins. L-asparaginase induced coagulopathy may cause osteonecrosis.

Childhood transient erythroblastopenia complicated by thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.

We report on 4 children with transient erythroblastopenia complicated by thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia. Bone marrow examination revealed severe erythroid hypoplasia with normal granulopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. Human parvovirus B19 infection was confirmed serologically in 2 children. An in vitro study using autologous bone marrow cells after recovery demonstrated IgG-mediated inhibition of erythropoiesis in 4 children. Additionally, antibodies directed against platelets and neutrophils were detected. These findings suggest that the IgG-mediated mechanism may be pathogenetic for the transient pancytopenia of these children.

[Childhood Ki-1 lymphoma complicated with multiple bone destruction].

A 4-year-old girl was admitted because of fever, swelling of left chest wall and left axillary lymphadenopathy. Chest XP revealed left pleural effusion. Ga-scintigram showed multiple accumulation in skull, left ribs and iliac bone. A diagnosis of childhood Ki-1 lymphoma was made from the pathological findings of tumor in the skull. Immunopathological study revealed that the neoplastic cells were CD8 positive (suppressor phenotype).

[Cerebral thrombosis in a child with acute lymphocytic leukemia during L-asparaginase therapy].

A 13-year-old girl with preB-ALL was admitted because of headache during maintenance therapy including L-asparaginase. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral thrombosis. Coagulation studies showed decreased levels of fibrinogen, antithrombin-III and plasminogen. The patient was treated with antithrombin-III concentrates and fresh frozen plasma and recovered quickly. These findings suggest that coagulopathy induced by L-asparaginase is associated with the pathogenesis of cerebral thrombosis.

Sequential occurrence of immune pancytopenia and de novo DIC in a child with polyclonal immunoblastosis.

We report a child with polyclonal immunoblastosis associated with several hematological complications. Pure red cell aplasia (IgG-mediated inhibition of erythropoiesis), immune thrombocytopenia and immune neutropenia with myeloid hypoplasia developed sequentially. In addition, disseminated intravascular coagulation occurred shortly after the administration of prednisolone with rapid shrinkage of hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy.

Childhood Ki-1 lymphoma. A report of two cases.

Two cases of childhood Ki-1 lymphoma occurred with the expression of Ki-1+/HLA-DR+/IL-2R+/EMA+/Leu-M1-/pan-T antigens-/pan-B antigens- in neoplastic cells. Patient 1 with nodular skin lesions expressed Leu-2a+ in the neoplastic cells and died 14 months later. Patient 2 with lymph node swelling and hepatosplenomegaly exhibited Leu-3a+ in the neoplastic cells and remains free of disease. The Leu-2a+ (case 1) or Leu-3a+ (case 2) findings suggest that the neoplastic cells in both cases were derived from T-lymphocyte lineage. However, Southern's blot analysis did not reveal any clonal rearrangements of T-cell receptor genes in the autopsy material from case 1. The Leu-3a+/Mcs-2+ finding in case 2 may indicate that the neoplastic cells were derived from monocyte/macrophage lineage.

[Megakaryoblastic crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia cytological and clinical studies in three cases].

Diagnostic significance of the megakaryocyte markers and clinical findings were evaluated in three cases with chronic myelogenous leukemia in megakaryoblastic crisis. Platelet peroxidase (PPO), glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, Ib, von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF: Ag) and demarcation membrane system (DMS) were examined as the megakaryocyte markers. Blast phenotypes were as follows: PPO- IIb/IIIa+ vWF: Ag+ DMS+ in Case 1, PPO+ IIb/IIIa +/- Ib- vWF: Ag +/- in Case 2 and PPO+ IIb/IIIa+ vWF: Ag +/- DMS +/- in Case 3 (-: 0% +/-: less than 10% +: greater than or equal to 10%). In Cases 1 and 3, no markers other than those for the megakaryocyte lineage were detected, but myeloperoxidase-positive blasts coexisted with PPO-positive megakaryoblasts in Case 2. Megakaryoblast phenotypes and involvement of other lineages were much different in each case. Therefore, marker study for cytological diagnosis should be performed in consideration of lineage heterogeneity. As to the clinical findings, no clear features common to the three cases were present. However, multiple osteolytic lesions were demonstrated on bone survey in Case 1 and considered to be caused by the proliferation of megakaryoblasts.

Demonstration of intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin in non-T-acute lymphocytic leukemia cases of children with immunoelectron microscopic examination.

Leukemic cells from 25 cases of non-T-acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in children were investigated for intracellular immunoglobulin by the use of immunoelectron microscopic study (immuno-EM). As a result, 12 cases were negative for both heavy and light chains of the immunoglobulin in the neoplastic cells. Of these, one case that was also negative for common ALL antigen (CALLA) was defined as null cell type. The remaining 11 cases were defined as common ALL type. Six cases were defined as pre-B-cell type because they were positive for cytoplasmic mu chain but negative for cytoplasmic light chains. Seven cases were defined as B-cell type, all of which possessed lambda light chains in the neoplastic cells. Immunohistologic studies using monoclonal antibodies showed that most non-T-ALL cases were positive for CALLA and B4, whereas about 50% of them were positive for B1. Our immuno-EM study suggests that it is one of the effective ways of subclassifying non-T-ALL in children.

Acinic cell carcinoma originating in the nasal cavity.

The nasal cavity is a rare site for an acinic cell carcinoma. We have treated one such tumor in a 68-year-old man. He underwent a Denker's operation under general anesthesia and then received postoperative irradiation at 50 Gy. He has been kept asymptomatic for the past 2 years. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the third report on the acinic cell tumor in the nasal cavity. A brief literature review is also presented.
