Basal cell carcinoma of the ridge of the nose treated with Cobalt-60.

A case is reported of an elderly woman treated for a basal cell carcinoma, located on the ridge of the nose. The malignancy had invaded the outer surface of the bone and nearby cartilage. It is well known that when carcinoma of the skin is located near to bony cartilage structures, those structures are prone to necrosis when treated with ionizing radiation. In this case, the authors treated the nose using telecobalt therapy and increased the effect of radiation therapy on the skin using a bolus. Results during the short follow-up after completion of treatment have been excellent.

Intra-arterial knotted catheter.

Although cerebral arteriography is commonly employed as a diagnostic radiologic procedure its use is not entirely innocuous. Beside the usual complications of an invasive technique the retention of a knotted distal flexible catheter tip may be encountered. This report presents a case in which this occurred with subsequent extraction by way of incision of the femoral artery.

Demonstration of pericardial effusion by real-time ultrasonography.

Pericardial effusion has a variety of causes. Among these, inflammatory processes are the most common. Traditionally x-rays, isotopic scanning, carbon dioxide injection, and M-mode echocardiography have been used for evaluation of pericardial effusion. The most recent advance in real time scanning enables the examiner to more completely and more accurately evaluate and serially investigate pericardial effusions through a noninvasive technique.

Mammary malignancy in the male.

Mammary carcinoma in the male, a relatively uncommon disease, represents about 0.9 to 1.5 percent of all breast cancers. (1,2) The authors reviewed 16 cases of male breast cancer seen in a 30-year period at the State University of New York, Kings County Hospital Medical Center in Brooklyn, and the North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset. Epidemiology, etiology, demography, signs and symptoms, management, and prognosis are discussed. A review of pertinent literature is presented.
