Acute myeloblastic leukaemia in sarcoidosis treated with methotrexate.

A 60-year-old man with sarcoidosis of skin and knee joints was treated with prednisone and methotrexate (MTX). A total of 590 mg MTX was given over two periods each of 3 months duration. 4 1/2 years after the first MTX dose he developed acute myeloid leukaemia. Only one more case of acture myeloid leukaemia following MTX treatment for a benign disease has been described, and until further cases have been reported the correlation might be considered a matter of simple coincidence.

Common duct stones in patients with acute cholecystitis.

In a retrospective survey of 202 patients with acute cholecystitis 40 patients (19,8%) were found to have common duct stones. No close correlation between common duct stones and either serum bilirubin or serum alkaline phosphatase could be demonstrated. Therefore it was concluded that peroperative cholangiography is necessary in operations for acute cholecystitis.
