Schistosomiasis and bladder carcinoma in southern Iraq.

Bladder biopsies from 425 patients in the southern region of Iraq were analysed with special emphasis on the association of schistosomiasis and carcinoma. Histological evidence of schistosomiasis was seen in 27.3% of the carcinomas, 70.1% of which were of squamous-cell type. The main features were compared with those from other countries where Bilharziasis is endemic. It is concluded that the main features resemble previous reports but with a younger age incidence and relative high proportion of carcinomas in females affected by schistosomiasis.

Scanning electron microscopy.

The technology of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is described in brief. Its application to the study of cell and tissue structure is demonstrated and the evolution of the concept of "topographical histology" is discussed. Some current literature on the application of SEM is reviewed under the headings of experimental pathology and human pathology. While SEM has become an indispensable technique for the experimental morphologist, its application to diagnostic pathology and cytology is still at an early exploratory stage.

Extraurinary schistosomiasis in Southern Iraq.

Ninety-six cases of extraurinary schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium were encountered in a retrospective histopathological study of cases encountered over a period of 12 years in Southern Iraq. Seventy-six cases involved three main systems, namely the female genital system (29 cases), male genital system (15 cases) and the lower intestinal tract (32 cases). In the remaining 20 cases unusual sites such as lymph nodes, skin, liver and lungs were affected. In none of these cases did the clinician initially consider schistosomiasis to be the cause of the patient's illness prior to the histological diagnosis.
