[Excessive generalized fat embolism in acutely dystrophic fat liver (author's transl)].

We have reported about a 63 year old woman, who, 1 to 2 hours after a meal containing mushrooms, became acutely ill, sank into uncontrollable shock, and died 24 hours later. Autoptically was found an acute yellow liver dystrophy in a previously existing fatty liver. Etiologically an intoxication by Amanita phalloides could be excluded as well as any other exogenic intoxication. The cause of the acute liver dystrophy was most probably a fulminant virus hepatitis. The decay of the fatty liver cells led to an unusally severe generalized fat embolism, which morphologically is regarded as the cause of death.

[Significance of cytological studies for the diagnosis of thyroid malignomas].

The authors employed the needle aspiration biopsy for the morphological diagnosis of thyroid malignancies of 2000 goitres. Only 3 false negative diagnoses out of 120 proved malignant tumours were done. The cytological signs of malignant thyroid cells were in the majority of cases so clear that the malignancy could be recognized without difficulty. None of the changes typical for malignant cells were found in benign euthyroid or hyperthyroid goitres. It was possible not only to recognize a malignant thyroid tumour, but also to judge the grade of its differentiation and to identify certain histological tumour types (Hürthle cell adenoma, papillary carcinoma) according to some special cytological signs. The demonstration of the nucleolar apparatus by means of a simple cytochemical technic proved to be a very useful indicator for the appreciation of the function, growth activity and malignant transformation of thyroid cells.
