Scanning electron microscopic studies on acute interstitial pneumonitis.

Scanning and transmission electron microscopic studies on two autopsy cases of acute interstitial pneumonitis caused probably by anticancer agents and intravenous hyperalimentation were reported. SEM revealed clearly the light microscopic findings of acute interstitial pneumonitis; hyaline membrane, Masson body, and glandular metamorphosis. Additionally an organization-process of Masson body and the relationship between Masson body and hyaline membrane were shown by SEM. TEM revealed three kinds of myelin-like lamellate structures in the alveolar exudates of both cases, and they were associated with the lamellar body of the B (type II) alveolar epithelium and the secretory granules of Clara-like cell. The myelin-like lamellate structures might suggest the degree of alveolar damage.

Histopathology of Behçet disease. Review of the literature with a case report.

An autopsy case of Behçet disease which was considered to be typical both clinically and histopathologically was reported. Cerebral abscess was also noted. Consequently it was presumed that some of the findings which had been called softening, demyelination, cavitation among others as the lesions of Neuro-Behçet might be closely related to abscess. Besides suppurative endoaortitis which was thought to be of interest as the lesions of Vascular-Behçet was observed. In order to substantiate the above, a general review of the literature of Behçet disease was made.
