Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with scleromyxedema-like lesions and serum monoclonal protein.

A patient was followed up for 5 yr for an illness diagnosed histologically as angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. His serum contained a monoclonal protein of the IgM type, and biopsies from papular skin lesions revealed scleromyxedema-like features. The unusual association of this kind of cutaneous lesion with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and a monoclonal IgM is discussed.

Evaluation of prajmalium-induced cholestasis by immunologic tests.

Cholestatic jaundice developed in four patients after the administration of prajmalium bitartrate. The clinical, histologic, ultrastructural, and immunologic findings were determined. In all patients, the clinical and morphologic features indicated idiosyncrasy. Two antibodies distributed in a granular pattern along the bile canaliculi were detected by immunofluorescence in all patients. In one patient, autoimmune markers were found in the serum, and in two instances, the migration-inhibition factor assay against the offending drug was found to be positive. The data support the concept that immunologic processes may participate in the production of the cholestatic syndrome.

Hypernephroma with nonmetastatic liver dysfunction (Stauffer's syndrome) and hypercalcemia. Case report and review of the literature.

A case of renal carcinoma with hepatic dysfunction and hypercalcemia is described. The literature on Stauffer's syndrome has been reviewed and the pathogenesis of this syndrome discussed. It is stressed that the presence of hepatic dysfunction should not be considered a contraindication to surgery since its manifestations have been observed to regress in many cases following removal of the tumor.
