Malignant chondroid syringoma. Report of a case with widespread metastasis and review of pertinent literature.
The authors report the autopsy case of a 73-year-old man with widespread, metastatic, malignant chondroid syringoma, with a long clinical history. Three years after resection of the primary tumor on the back, the tumor recurred at the same site, metastasized to the cervical lymph nodes 7 years later, and finally, after 13 years exhibited widespread metastases. Histologically, the tumor showed cords and nests of cuboidal or polygonal tumor cells with little cellular pleomorphism and few mitoses surrounded by a mucoid matrix. Histochemically, the matrix contained hyaluronic acid and sulfated acid mucopolysaccharides, such as chondroitin sulfate A and/or C. To the knowledge of the authors there have been nine reported cases of malignant chondroid syringoma in the English literature, four of which had distant metastasis. A review of the literature reveals that malignant chondroid syringoma is more common in women and occurs most often in trunk and extremities, which is in contrast to its benign counterpart, its histologic appearances vary greatly, and it may even have benign appearances.

Diabetes mellitus increases the severity of anemia in non-dialyzed patients with renal failure.
We investigated whether the presence of diabetes mellitus (DM) was related to the severity of the anemia observed in patients with renal failure who were not receiving dialysis. Forty patients were examined, (19 with long-term type II DM (DM-CRF), 21 with renal failure due to other causes (non-DM-CRF)). The two groups did not differ significantly as to age, sex, serum creatinine or erythropoietin. Hemoglobin was significantly (p < 0.005) lower in the DM-CRF patients (9.5 +/- 2.1 g/dl) than in the non-DM-CRF patients (11.2 +/- 2.0 g/dl). Multiple regression analysis indicated that higher serum creatinine levels and the presence of DM were independent risk factors for anemia (R2 = 0.494, p < 0.001). DM appeared to be a risk factor for the severity of anemia in patients with renal failure who were not receiving dialysis.
