Radioimmunodetection of tumors with monoclonal antiplacental ferritin antibody: preliminary results.

Two mouse monoclonal antiferritin antibodies were employed to detect tumors. In the first case a solitary hepatoma was defined, while in the second one, mediastinal metastases of breast cancer were detected. In both cases serum ferritin levels were raised. The availability of monoclonal antiferritin antibodies offers certain advantages over polyclonal antibodies (ease of production, purification and reproducibility). These antiferritin antibodies may be found useful in diagnosis and therapy of certain tumors.

Enterolithiasis.

We have seen two cases of enterolithiasis in middle-aged Bedouin women. In the first, the cause was prestenotic saccular dilatation from a postoperative stricture of the terminal ileum. In the second, stones formed in congenital diverticula in the terminal ileum and cecum. In both patients, the diagnosis was established by small-bowel enema.

Ewing's sarcoma metastatic to focal nodular hyperplasia of liver.

A case is presented of a young woman discovered at thoracotomy to have Ewing's sarcoma of the left lower ribs with soft tissue extension to the diaphragm and thoracic wall. Laparotomy at the same operation showed a nodule of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver with a focus of metastasis from the sarcoma within the area of hyperplasia. This is the first report of metastasis of any tumor to a hepatic lesion of this sort. Possible reasons for metastasis to this type of lesion are discussed.

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the common bile duct: a case report.

Reported here is a case of primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the common bile duct. This unusual variant of the ordinary adenocarcinoma has not, to the best of our knowledge, been previously reported as occurring in the extrahepatic bile ducts. A tumor of notorious prognostic significance, it represents an exceedingly rare and peculiar biological phenomenon of malignant metaplastic change.

Adenocarcinoma

Diagnosis of acute cholecystitis by 99mTc-iminodiacetic acid cholescintigraphy.

99mTc-iminodiacetic acid (IDA) compounds are concentrated by hepatocytes and excreted into the biliary system. The utility of 99mTc-IDA imaging in 116 patients with suspected acute cholecystitis was studied retrospectively over a 2-year period. Visualization of the gallbladder ruled out obstructed cystic duct and acute cholecystitis with a high degree of accuracy.

Acute Disease

Successful control of pheochromocytoma in pregnancy. Case report.

A patient found to have a pheochromocytoma in the 16th wk of pregnancy was successfully managed by medical treatment with phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride and propranolol. In the 38th wk of pregnancy she was electively delivered by cesarean section, and the tumor was simultaneously removed.
