Invasive primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin.

An unusual case of primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin has been reported. The tumor progressed very rapidly and recurred twice within a short period after adequate local excision. It had wide spread lymph node metastases and a fatal ending. The characteristic clinical and histologic differentiation from sweat gland carcinoma has been discussed.

Retroperitoneal lymphangioma. A case report with review of the literature.

A case of retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma is reported. Added to the 42 cases of retroperitoneal lymphangioma found from the English literature, this brings up the total of cases reported to date to 43. A critical review of the clinical picture and management of this condition is presented on the basis of these reported cases.

Epidermoid carcinoma of the anorectum: review of 31 cases.

Thirty-one cases of epidermoid carcinoma found in 106 cases of carcinoma of the rectum and anal canal are reviewed. Clinical presentation and management are presented. Probable factors in the greater than usual incidence of epidermoid carcinomas of the anorectum are discussed. Indications for radiation therapy, local excision, and abdominoperineal and inguinal block dissection are presented.

Alcohol and acetaldehyde metabolism in Caucasians, Chinese and Amerinds.

Ethanol (0.4 to 0.8 g/kg in 30 minutes) was given by mouth to 102 healthy young volunteers (37 Caucasian men, 21 Caucasian women, 20 Chinese men and 24 Ojibwa men). Venous blood concentrations of ethanol and acetaldehyde 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes after the end of drinking were measured by gas chromatography. The calculated rates of ethanol metabolism in the Caucasian men and women did not differ, but the overall group means for subgroups of Caucasians (103.6 mg/kg-h), Chinese (136.6 mg/kg-h) and Ojibwa (182.7 mg/kg-h) with decreasing postabsorption values differed significantly from each other. Mean acetaldehyde values paralleled the rates of ethanol metabolism: Ojibwa, 14.6 mug/ml; Chinese, 10.0 mug/ml; and Caucasians, 9.4 mug/ml. The high rate of ethanol metabolism in Amerind subjects differs from previous findings. Habitual level of alcohol consumption, proportion of body fat and genetic factors appear to account for most of the group differences.

Giant ureteric calculus.

A case of giant ureteric calculus 12 cm in length is reported. Only 11 cases of such calculi measuring 12 cm or more have been previously reported in the literature. The relevant features of giant ureteric calculus are discussed.
