[Diagnostic considerations apropos of a case of keratoacanthoma in a child].

A seven year old child presented with a keratoacanthoma, sometimes defined as a primary idiopathic pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, on the mandibular alveolar process. The lesion showed typical proliferation of a tumoral nature, clinical manifestations and microscopic findings being those of a spindle cell carcinoma and easily mistaken for the latter. The solitary oral form of the tumor is a rare benign affection that does not recur after extirpation. A literature review identified only four similar cases.

Congenital heart disease in the adult.

On the basis of literary data and of their own series of 264 adult patients, who were in 1978-1982 subjected to invasive haemodynamic examination for congenital heart disease, 162 patients operated on, and 128 patients followed up for long-term periods after surgical treatment of congenital heart disease in adult age, the authors analyse the causes of late recognition of the disease, operative complications and long-term operative results. It is pointed out that a haemodynamically serious congenital heart disease is indicated for surgical correction even in adult age, and that age itself does not represent a limitation to cardiosurgical intervention. In adult age, it is necessary to anticipate a greater number of complications and a more severe post-operative course, but the long-term results are very good.
