[Cardiac tamponade and rheumatoid arthritis: medical approach or pericardiectomy?].

The authors report the case of a sixty-seven-year-old man with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis since 1967. After the treatment was discontinued, a symptomatic pericardial effusion developed during an exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis. Histological findings suggested a rheumatoid origin. Consecutive pericardiocentesis and a concomitant adequate treatment resolved cardiac tamponade, at least during short-term follow-up. However, a long term observation will be necessary to exclude recurrent effusion or evolutive constrictive pericarditis.

[Osteochondrodysplasia: nosologic assessment and report of 6 clinical cases].

Osteochondrodysplasias represent an important group of disease affecting cartilage and/or bone. The clinical evidence of disarmoniuous low stature, of a disproportion between trunk and limbs length, of a big skull can suggest this diagnosis and the necessity to carry out all the instrumental investigations. The diagnostic suspect can be placed, some time, already in the neonatal period. The complexity of problems regarding the osteochondrodysplasias bearer child and his family requires a multidisciplinary approach. The Authors present a personal experience of six cases of osteochondrodysplasias observed in a period of fifteen years.

[An ovarian mass in childhood: a case report].

Ovarian tumors are a very heterogeneous group of neoplasms that rarely occur in pediatric age. When it happens, they are usually very malignant germ cell tumors such as embryonal carcinoma, endodermal sinus tumor or choriocarcinoma. We describe a case of a 14 years old girl who came to our observation because of an abdominal enlargement without others symptoms. The abdominal palpation revealed a big, round, painless mass from pelvic to epigastric region. A specific and accurate diagnosis was made by ultrasound. The histological examination of the surgical removed mass revealed a mucous cystadenoma that's a benign epithelial ovarian tumor.
