[Application of computer assisted tomography in gynaecological oncology (author's transl)].

The non invasive radiologic technique of computed tomography has been employed since 1978 at the University Women's Clinic and Radiologic Clinic, Graz. One hundred and fourty six examinations of the pelvis, abdomen and chest were performed on 63 oncologic patients. The method was employed for the preoperative detection and measurement of the size of benign and malignant neoplasms; in tumour staging and assessment of therapeutic response. The results suggest that CT might be the best method for the assessment of response to cytotoxic therapy of ovarian cancer.

[On the localisation of the adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix uteri (author's transl)].

The position and the extent of 42 adenocarcinomas in situ were determined in representative sections of 27 cone specimens. At the same time all foci of a coincidental atypical squamous epithelium were registered. It was found that the glandular cancer arises rather in the canal than at the ectocervix. The topography of an additional pathological squamous epithelium follows the rules described for cases with malignant squamous epithelium only.

Local spread and lymph node involvement in cervical cancer.

In 150 cases of carcinoma of the cervix the specimens obtained by radical hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy were examined by means of giant frontal section preparations which included adjacent parametria. Serial step sections of lymph nodes were performed. There were 44 cases of Stage IB, 13 of Stage IIA, and 93 of Stage IIB. Lymph node involvement was 16%, 33%, and 37%, respectively. The size of each cervical tumor was expressed in square millimeters as an "area-equivalent," the product of its vertical and horizontal diameters in the frontal plane. Cross relationships of tumor size, incidence of lymph node metastasis, border zone spread, and parametrial involvement were studied and are discussed. It is concluded that tumor size gives a better indication of tumor behavior than does clinical staging and constitutes an objective method of classifying tumors that the latter cannot attain.

[The effect of oral contraceptives on levels of thyroid hormone, blood coagulation and ceruloplasmin (author's transl)].

The effect of various hormonal contraceptives on the thyroid hormone level, plasmatic and thrombocytic coagulation, cholesterol and ceruloplasmin levels and the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase was investigaged by the changes produced by long term cyclic estrogen-gestagen therapy on the metabolism of the organism. The free thyroxine index and the total cholesterol were within the normal range. The thyroxine binding index at 44% was above the normal level and the mean value was significantly raised. The ceruloplasmin concentration in the serum was also significantly increased. Pointers to a general hypercoagulability could not be ascertained with a statistical significance.

[The early stromal invasion of the vulva (author's transl)].

Fourty one vulvectomy operation specimens and seventeen biopsies from the vulva were examined. They represented either dysplasias, carcinomata in situ or invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Slightly more than a third of the cases showed early stromal invasion as well in dysplasias and carcinomata in situ as in the margins of the invasive carcinomas. On the other hand the early stromal invasion of the vulva doesn't show that striking alterations as does that of the cervix uteri.

[Ectopic pregnancy carried to full term with a living infant].

A section delivery was performed for transverse lie on a fourth para of 38 years at the beginning of labour on term. Thereby a full term extrauterine gravidity was found. According to the placental insertion in the ampullar part of the tube, on the ovary and upon the visceral peritoneum it can be classified as tubo-abdominal pregnancy which probably had developed after rupture of a tubal pregnancy which initially was established in the ampullar part. Blood supply was accomplished mainly by the hypertrophied ovarian vessels of the right side. After removal of the amniotic sac and partial resection of the great omentum the uterus had to be amputated supracervically for excessive loss. The postoperative course was uneventful, mother and child were discharged healthy.
