[Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy: a new case in an adult with anti factor VIII antibody (author's transl)].

The case history of a 71 year old french man with a lethal sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman's Syndrome) is reported. The histological features were typical but the clinical course was remarkable because of the predominant expression was a life threatening hemorrhagic disorder closely linked to a circulating anticoagulant (anti-factor VIII). The bringing to light in a picture of hyperimmunity of a self antibody and a high anti-EBV titer suggest on lymphocyte T deficit could be important in the development of the sinus histiocytosis.

Pulmonary metastatic calcification with respiratory insufficiency in patients on maintenance haemodialysis.

A uraemic patient undergoing chronic haemodialysis developed diffuse metastatic pulmonary calcification and died from acute respiratory insufficiency after renal transplantation. Thirteen similar cases previously published are reviewed, with emphasis on the clinical and anatomical features of such calcinosis. The pathogenesis of this calcification in patients on maintenance haemodialysis and some rules for its prevention are discussed.

[Calcific constrictive pericarditis of anginal form complicated by hemopericardium and tamponade during anticoagulant treatment].

The case-history of a patient with calcified constrictive epicardopericarditis with rapidely progressive aggravation after digestive hemorrage due to excessive dose or oral anticoagulant therapy is reported. The occurrence of a cardiac tamponade has necessitated pericardectomy which has permitted to detect a partitionned hemopericardium. The surgical act was followed by gross improvement of both constrictive phenomenon and angina pectoris which have grounded the prescription of anticoagulant therapy. Anticoagulant therapy is likely responsible of the hemopericardium. Such facts are exceptionals in the course of constrictive pericarditis; diagnostic and therapeutic problems related to this complication are studied. The question of angina pectoris in the course of acute and chronic pericarditis is briefly studied by the way of this observation. Attention is drawed on the danger of the prescription of anticoagulant therapy in the course of some constrictive pericarditides.
