Osteosarcoma arising in osteogenesis imperfecta.
We report a case of osteosarcoma arising in osteogenesis imperfecta. The characteristic radiographic and pathological findings are discussed and emphasized to warrant a biopsy.

Glycogen in neuroblastomas. A light- and electron-microscopic study of 40 cases.
A light- and electron-microscopic review of 40 cases diagnosed at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh as ganglioneuroblastoma, neuroblastoma, or small round cell tumor-probably neuroblastoma disclosed four cases that contained abundant glycogen. Two were unquestionable neuroblastomas by electron microscopy; one was primary in the adrenal gland, the other in the mediastinum. In the third case, a paraspinal tumor, the light-microscopic appearance was suggestive or neuroblastoma, but no catecholamine granules or neural processes were demonstrated in the material available for electron microscopy. The fourth case was an undifferentiated malignant tumor in the pectoralis muscle of a 12-year-old girl. By electron microscopy, neural processes were demonstrated and the tumor was classified as peripheral neuroblastoma. Of the remaining 36 cases, electron microscopy readily indicated a diagnosis of neuroblastoma or glangioneuroblastoma in 35 of them. In the other case, the tissue had been fixed in formalin and only a few catecholamine granules were found after an extensive search.

The effects of tissue processing on markers for T and B cells from solid tissues.
Suspensions of lymphoid cells from tissues have been used for the determination of the quantitative relationship between the T and B cell populations. The distribution of the lymphocytes within a given tissue, however, cannot be demonstrated once such a suspension has been prepared. Various methods of characterizing lymphocytes within tissues were evaluated. The method of tissue preparation can alter the capability of detecting the lymphocyte markers. Fluorescein-labeled anti-immunoglobulin sera reacted equally well with lymphocytes in tissue regardless of the method of tissue preparation. Complement-coated sheep erythrocytes were less effective in detecting lymphocyte markers in tissue sections than in cell suspensions. Quantitative assays of lymphocytes could be done in suspensions only. Unaltered sheep erythrocytes did not bind to T lymphocytes in tissue. T lymphocytes could be identified in tissue sections, however, by the use of anti-human T cell serum.
