[Hypothalamic tumor associated with precocious puberty-a case report (author's transl)].

When the patient was about five years old, his mother noted macropenis, and when he was six years and 3 months old, he was brought to this department with complaints of anorexia and cachexia. The examination at the time of admission revealed separation of the cranial sutures and bilateral optic atrophy. As shown in table 1, no remarkable abnormal findings were seen in the laboratory data. A giant tumor was detected in the suprasellar midline by neuroradiological examination. Instead of radical surgery for this tumor, a needle biopsy was performed with subsequent shunting operation and radiation therapy. The various clinical symptoms improved and he was discharged.

A rapid and simplified staining of juxtaglomerular granules with aqueous crystal violet.

The method described allows staining of juxtaglomerular granules in a deep purple colour against faint purple background and deep purple erythrocytes. Paraffin sections of mouse kidney fixed in 10% formalin buffered with phosphate are brought to water, stained 3 min in 0.01% crystal violet, rinsed in tap water (or stained 3 min in 0.1% crystal violet in NaHCO3, rinsed in 1% NaHCO3), blotted, differentiated in a 1 : 1 aniline-xylene mixture, cleared in xylene and mounted in a resin.
