Bronchovascular mucormycosis: an urgent surgical problem.

The case of a 70-year-old male with lymphoblastic leukemia is reviewed, who presented the rare and almost always fatal complication of pulmonary mucormycosis, but who was treated satisfactorily with amphotericin B and surgery. The risk of massive hemoptysis in the course of mucormycosis that invades the lung vessels, makes us believe that surgery is an essential part of the management of this disease. It is suggested that the patient be operated as soon as the diagnosis is obtained, as we did in our case, to avoid other risks in combined management with amphotericin B.

[Primary sternal hemangiosarcoma].

We describe a 22-year-old man with a bone mass in the middle and lower third of the sternum with no signs of respiratory deterioration. After biopsy by incision established a diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma, appropriate resection and repair of the thoracic wall was scheduled. An adequate amount of tissue for analysis must be obtained to allow choice of a surgical technique that will assure the best prognosis in malignant tumors of the sternum and assignation of the most appropriate mechanical ventilation procedure.

Thymic cyst presenting as Horner's syndrome.

We describe a case of Horner's syndrome secondary to a thymic cyst. Following successful surgical removal of the cyst, the patient's symptoms resolved. To the best of our knowledge, a similar case has not been reported.

Long-term clinical follow-up of adult idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and celiac disease.

A 22-year-old man with a history of repeated whole blood transfusions since the age of 7, was admitted to the hospital for dyspnea and blood-stained sputum. A complete blood cell count, a test for reticulin antibodies, an x-ray film of the chest, a transbronchial biopsy and a biopsy of the small bowel were performed and the results confirmed the diagnosis of IPH, associated with CD. The patient has been asymptomatic for four years on a gluten-free diet. In cases of IPH, it may be important to investigate the coexistence of CD because treatment of the latter could lead to a better prognosis.

Primary liposarcoma of the lung in a young woman.

A primary liposarcoma of the lung occurred in an 18 year old girl, the first to be reported in anyone under 40. Though rare, intrathoracic liposarcoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusion in younger patients.

Familial C1q deficiency in 3 siblings with glomerulonephritis and Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.

Complete absence of C1q was demonstrated in the sera of 3 siblings in association with renal and cutaneous lesions. The serologic findings were consistent with an autoimmune disorder. Hematuria was the renal symptom present in all 3 patients; proteinuria was also present in 1. Renal biopsies showed mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis with diffuse glomerular deposits of IgM and C3 in all cases. Clinical cutaneous manifestations and the histological picture were those of the Rothmund-Thompson syndrome. Three combined diseases, characterized by renal and cutaneous affection and serologic abnormalities, are presented in this paper.
