Immunocytochemical detection of carcinoembryonic antigen in salivary gland tumors.

The immunoperoxidase method was applied for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection in biopsy specimens of salivary gland tumors. 9 out of 10 adenoidcystic carcinomas revealed a strong and abundant reaction in tumoral glands. 10 other specimens of pleomorphic adenomas showed weak staining in the areas of epithelial proliferation. Normal glands adjacent to the tumor mass revealed a weak but constant reaction on the luminal border. As in other types of gland tumor, the quantitative estimation of CEA production by salivary gland tumors may be useful in the monitoring of recurrencies.

Focal epithelial hyperplasia. Report of five new cases from Argentina.

Five cases of focal epithelial hyperplasia in Argentina from 1968 to 1974 are reported. There was an age range from 11 to 27 years, with an average of 18 years. Three of the patients were born in Jujuy in the northwest corner of the country. Two of these cases were observed in an epidemiologic study carried out among 8,895 20-year-old Argentine men from different areas.

[Oral manifestations in AIDS or HIV infection. Bibliographic update].

AIDS is a systemic infection that in many steps of its evolution presents various oral lesions and clinical conditions. This fact raises a problem for the dentist who are working on heterogeneous populations of healthy and infected people as well as on AIDS patients: to receive a continuous update about the disease. Apart from the risks of exposure inherent to his personal relation with HIV-infected or AIDS patients, the dentist is one of the health careworkers who must and ought recognize the oral signs of the disease when they appear in the mouth. For this reason this paper describes recent data on oral findings in AIDS: fungal, viral and bacterial infections, neoplasms and other manifestations of unknown or rare etiology. The most precocious clinical or pathological characteristics of these oral diseases suggesting HIV-infection or its results, are also stressed when described. Some doubts are possessed here about the meaning of outstanding oral AIDS lesions as "hairy leukoplakia". On the other way diagnostic methods which can help to recognize this lesion are also commented.
