Lung biopsy in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia: a histopathologic study of typical and atypical features.

This study of 36 patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia emphasizes a spectrum of histopathologic changes that have not been classically considered features of the infection. These atypical microscopic findings were present in 69% of the cases as defined in this retrospective examination. As expected, the suggestion of the correct diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia on the basis of a frozen section and without the aid of appropriate special stains was extremely difficult in the majority of biopsies. It is important for the pathologist to maintain the possibility of this infection in his differential diagnosis when he examines a pulmonary biopsy from a patient who is immunologically compromised.

Primary uterine tumors and multiple endocrine adenomatosis, type I.

Multiple endocrine adenomatosis, Type I was initially diagnosed in a 35-year-old woman with primary chief cell hyperplasia of the parathyroids. Approximately 5 years later, vaginal bleeding developed and a well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma was recognized. An adenomatoid tumor of the uterus was discovered in addition to a nonfunctional islet cell tumor of the pancreas. Multiple endocrine adenomatosis is reviewed in relation to possible gynecologic neoplasms.

Multilocular cystic kidney.

Two cases of multilocular cystic kidney are reported. Current concepts of pathogenesis are reviewed. Treatment by total nephrectomy is advocated when the contralateral kidney is normal; partial nephrectomy should be reserved for those cases in which the contralateral kidney has reduced function or is absent.
