[Lymphographic interpretation of benign lymphnodes lesions (author's transl)].

Clinical, lymphographic and morphologic non tumor induced lymphnode lesions of 164 patients are described, and a roentgenographic morphological correlation is performed. Diffuse non specific inflammatory and reactivy lymphnode lesions are divided into three groups. These changes cannot be distinguished from lymphnodes with micrometastases. Typical cirteria for segmental lymphnode fibrosis and hyperplasia are described. Fatty lymphnode degeneration may be segmental or diffuse, their characteristics are presented as well.

Extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation (EBOO) in man. preliminary report.

Autohemotherapy with ozone has been used for four decades with encouraging results but, owing to the lack of clinical studies, it has never been adopted by orthodox medicine. Confident of the valid principles of ozone therapy, we have endeavoured to increase its therapeutic efficacy. Over a ten-year period we have developed an apparatus that makes it possible to treat large quantities of blood with ozone in extracorporeal circulation (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation EBOO). One of us volunteered to test the system and after six treatments noted the disappearance of two lipomas. This prompted us to treat a patient with Madelung disease and several patients with atherosclerotic vasculopathy. Besides showing therapeutic effects, the preliminary results indicate that EBOO is clinically valid, without side-effects and worthy of testing in various diseases.

Benign tumors of heterotopic tissue in the thyroid gland: a report of two cases of lipomatous lesions.

A report of two cases, concerning heterotopic nests of fat cells in the thyroid gland, is presented here together with a review of lipomatous lesions in the literature. Both cases involved patients who presented with goiter; one had Grave's disease and the other had adenomatous hyperplasia. The fat cells were principally located in the subcapsular areas and scattered among the follicles. The distribution of the immunohistochemical staining, and the morphologic characteristics of the adipose tissue, suggested a probable origin of the fat cells from inclusion nests during embryogenesis of the thyroid gland.

Medulloblastoma with lipidized cells versus lipomatous medulloblastoma.

BACKGROUND: Lipomatous medulloblastoma is a recently identified clinicopathological entity, characterized by areas of lipomatous differentiation, manifestation in adults, and apparently by a favorable prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In our series of medulloblastomas of adults and children we have found lipidized cells within the tumor in 6 out of 78 cases of adults and in 8 out of 44 cases of children. In 3 adult cases and 3 children cases, lipidized cells were particularly numerous and clustered. RESULTS: Neuronal differentiation was found in 4/6 cases; no case showed GFAP-positive tumor cells. Lipidized cells were constantly immunopositive for vimentin and some of them also for KP-1 and CR3/43. The proliferation potential was evaluated by the immunohistochemical demonstration of MIB-1; MIB-1-labeling index (LI) ranged from 20.8% to 40.5%. No case survived longer than 7 years after diagnosis and postoperative radiotherapy. CONCLUSION: The present 6 cases of heavily lipidized medulloblastoma are not uniform as for age of occurrence, proliferation potential and survival. They do not share the clinical and pathologic features of "lipomatous medulloblastoma". Therefore, the finding of large numbers of lipidized cells in a medulloblastoma does not authorize to diagnose the tumor as "lipomatous medulloblastoma", for which a favorable clinical prognosis is foreseen.

Isolated liver nodules.

Thirteen examples of isolated liver nodules were examined in 7 persons, 4 with single nodules and 3 with multiple nodules. Pathologically they present a spectrum from a solid structure that resembles liver parenchyma with varying degrees of disorganization and fibrosis to soft and fatty enough to superficially resemble a lipoma. Abnormal blood vessels were commonly found in and around the nodules, and the nodules were all ischemic compared to surrounding normal liver. The association of abnormal blood vessels and ischemia may be a cause and effect relationship. Studies by angiography might prove two things: (1) that the presence of abnormal blood vessels is constant in the lesions; (2) that the vessels, although relatively large, fail to provide adequate blood supply to the area, either by lack of branches or by some type of shunting mechanism. Review of cases of "lipoma of the liver" reported in the literature suggest that the lesions described are, in fact, the fatty type of isolated liver nodules.

[Sweet syndrome in a female patient with intestinal multiple lipomas and diverticular disease of the colon].

Sweet's syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a condition characterized by the sudden onset of fever, leukocytosis, and painful, erythematous, well-demarcated papules and plaques which show dense, neutrophilic infiltrates on histologic examination. Myalgias and arthralgias are common. Although it may occur in the absence of other known disease, SS is often associated with hematologic disease (including leukemia), and immunologic disease (rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease). A case of SS is reported. Furthermore the patient presented multiple intestinal lipomas and diverticular colon disease. The authors, on the ground of recent studies which correlate SS with several digestive system disorders, hypothesize an association between acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis and patient's intestinal diseases. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids is usually successful.

[The Goltz-Gorlin syndrome. Review and case reports].

A case of Goltz-Gorlin-Syndrom (GGS) is reported with ectodermal and mesodermal defects. Differential diagnoses were: congenital poikilodermias, naevus lipomatodes cutaneous superficialis (Hoffmann-Zurhelle) and incontinentia pigmenti. Clinical aspects, histopathology, pathogenesis, genetics, and chromosomal patterns are compiled and the cases reviewed which were reported until 1974.
