Giant polypoid basal cell carcinoma.

A giant polypoid basal cell carcinoma occurring in the back of a 64-year-old man is reported. Three other such cases from the English literature are reviewed.

Systemic scleroderma and small cell carcinoma of the lung.

A 64-year-old man diagnosed to have systemic scleroderma for 1 year developed small-cell carcinoma of the lung. Six additional cases obtained from the literature describing small-cell carcinoma occurring in patients with scleroderma are reviewed.

Beta-2-microglobulin as a marker of malignant epithelial tumors of the skin.

Twenty-seven formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin samples were examined to determine the usefulness of the loss of beta-2-microglobulin (B2m) in determining the malignancy of the epithelial cells of skin tumors. Our results confirm that there is loss of B2m from the cell surface in certain malignant lesions whereas the cells in the clearly benign lesions retain B2m on their cell membrane. Variable staining in the low-grade malignant and premalignant lesions renders B2m as an unreliable cell surface marker for differentiating borderline lesions.

Carcinoma arising in burn scar.

A 60-year-old man had under gone a left below-knee amputation 30 years ago owing to trauma and burn suffered in a dynamite explosion. He has been wearing an artificial leg since then. He developed a squamous cell carcinoma on the amputation stump 30 years later. The possible relationship of the burn scar and chronic irritation by the artificial leg to the cancer is discussed.

Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis.

Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is very rare. It is highly malignant with potential of early metastasis. We are reporting such a case occurring in a 34-year-old man who remains tumor-free 7 years after orchiectomy. Another 20 reported cases of such a tumor from the English literature are reviewed.

Intramyofiber metastasis in skeletal muscle.

Malignant epithelial cells were noted within the sarcolemmal sheath of skeletal muscle fibers in a case of recurrent laryngeal carcinoma. Literature is reviewed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of this rare intramyofiber skeletal metastasis by cancer cells.

A rational blood-ordering policy for urology.

A retrospective study of blood-ordering patterns and blood use for elective urologic procedures was done. Only in a few surgical procedures, such as cystectomies, open prostatectomies, and nephrectomies, do the patients commonly receive blood transfusions. Blood is rarely used for a large number of other procedures. In such cases routine crossmatching of blood can be safely substituted by "type and screen." A guideline for preoperative blood-ordering is proposed that may substantially improve utilization of blood without jeopardizing patient care.

Simultaneous occurrence of adenocarcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma as two separate primary tumors in the bladder.

We report on a 56-year-old man who had two distinct and separate primary tumors of the bladder simultaneously: one mucin-producing adenocarcinoma and the other a transitional cell carcinoma. Despite local extension of the adenocarcinoma beyond the bladder wall, surgical resection has resulted in a 6-year recurrence-free survival of the patient.

Intraspinal epidermoid cyst.

An intraspinal epidermoid cyst occurring in the lumbo-sacral region of a 38-year old man with congenital spina bifida occulta is described. Relevant literature on the subject is reviewed.

Observations on the inadequately excised basal cell carcinomas.

We studied 43 cases of reexcised skin where a diagnosis of "inadequately excised basal cell carcinoma" was made at the initial excision. Only 3 cases (7%) revealed microscopic residual tumor. Prior studies have shown a recurrence rate as high as 35% for "inadequately excised basal cell cancers." Possible reasons for relatively low incidence of residual tumor in the reexcised specimens are discussed.
