Thymoma metastatic to bone.

A patient with thymoma metastatic to bone is presented. The case differs radiographically and pathologically from one previously reported case in which the diagnosis was made during life. The diagnosis was obtained by percutaneous needle biopsy under fluoroscopic control.

Sjogren syndrome presenting as pulmonary pseudolymphoma: report of a case.

A case of pulmonary pseudolymphoma and Sjogren syndrome is presented. Unusually, the lung involvement preceded the salivary disease by more than two years. The initial gammopathy and abnormal serologies are more consistent with uncomplicated Sjogren syndrome, but were present when the pseudolymphoma was solely apparent.

Clinical radionuclide perfusion lymphangiography.

In an initial pilot study technetium-99m-labelled human serum albumin was perfused directly into bipedal lymphatic cannulae prior to a standard lymphangiogram, in order to assess rapidly normal and abnormal lymph flow patterns in the lower extremity, pelvic and para-aortic lymph chains. A continuing study of these patients has lent further support to the hypothesis that the radionuclide perfusion study, when negative, may prove more accurate in some patients than the standard lymphangiogram in predicting the clinical course and/or the results of histopathological lymph node examination. The radionuclide technique also seems to meet, in this preliminary evaluation, the requirements for a pre-lymphangiogram screening study, particularly for use in high-risk patients.
