Mitral stenosis together with a giant cell myocarditis limited to the left atrium.

A case is described in which mitral stenosis was associated with a giant cell myocarditis; the latter lesion was, however, localized to the left atrium. A quite high proportion of reported cases of giant cell myocarditis have occurred in association with rheumatic heart disease. The nature of this relationship is discussed and it is concluded that, in such cases, the giant cell reaction may represent an unusual myocardial response to rheumatic fever.

Ovarian tumors. Histogenesis and systemic effects.

Sufficient histologic and embryologic information is now available to allow for a reasonably satisfactory histogenic classification of ovarian neoplasms. The majority of these tumors are derived from germ cells, sex cord-mesenchyme or the germinal epithelium. A few, such as the Brenner tumor, must still be classed as being of "uncertain histogenesis," for the cell (or tissue) of origin is not yet known. It is now realized that many ovarian neoplasms previously considered to be endocrinologically inert may, on occasion, be associated with either estrogenic or androgenic activity. This applies particularly to Brenner tumors, mucinous cystadenomas and serous cystadenomas. The common factor associated with such endocrine activity is luteinization of the tumor stroma.Ovarian neoplasms usually manifest only local symptoms, but they may, on occasion, be associated with such unusual systemic effects as hypoglycemia, hypercalcemia or a hemolytic anemia.
