Granulomatous hepatitis, increased platelet aggregation, and hypercholesterolemia.

Two young patients presented with an unusual liver disease, granulomatous hepatitis with postnecrotic cirrhosis, and both underwent a splenorenal shunt procedure. Each developed an arterial embolic episode probably related to increased platelet aggregation. This represents the first report of a liver disease associated with increased platelet aggregation that was clinically significant, a myocardial infarction in one and a posterior cerebral infarction in the other. Also, unexpectedly, both patients became hypercholesterolemic after the splenorenal shunt was established.

Adenosis and adenocarcinoma of the vagina in young women: a review.

Prior to 1971, adenosis and primary adenocarcinoma of the vagina were unusual entities. Since then, a marked increase in both processes has occurred, felt to be related to maternal ingestion of Diethylstibestrol (DES) and other estrogenic compounds during the first trimester, with subsequent abnormalities in female offspring. To date, there are over 170 cases of adenocarcinoma reported, and there may be as many as one million patients with adenosis. Treatment of benign adenosis is somewhat of a controversy but adenocarcinoma is treated with surgery radiation or a combination thereof, depending upon the specifics of the patients. Four patients are presented, one treated surgically and three with radiotherapy, all with complete remission over one to two years. It behooves all phys-cians caring for young women to be aware of these disease processes for the maximum therapeutic benefit to be achieved.
