[Malignant lymphopathy and breast cancer (apropos of 3 cases)].

Two cases of Hodgkin's disease were associated with a breast tumor after a remission of seven years. Conversely, another patient was affected by a mammary adenocarcinoma prior to the onset of an overt acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the same delay. These three observations focussed our attention upon the development of secondary neoplasias and the possible relationship between both types of disorders. In a period with extensive research on cancer etiology, it seemed interesting to discuss the role of several factors: genetic, therapeutic and/or immunological ones.

[An attempt at correlation between the numbers of intra-hepatic immunocytes and levels of serum immunoglobulins during the course of various liver diseases].

Liver samples from 71 patients with various liver diseases were obtained by needle-biopsy and examined by the direct fluorescent antibody technique. Immunocytes reacting with specific conjugated anti-IgG, A, M sera were counted. An attempt to correlate i-munocytochemical observations with Ig-levels was performed but remained statistically non valid. Nevertheless, graphic comparison of data in the three homogeneous investigated groups (steatosis, cirrhosis, hepatitis) might support the view that intra-hepatic immunocytes contribute partially to enhance the serum immunoglobulin levels in liver diseases.
