Myocardial infarction due to coronary atherosclerosis in three young adults with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Three patients, 24, 24 and 25 years of age, with systemic lupus erythematosus had signs of myocardial infarction. Two had serial electrocardiographic changes indicative of infarction without any cardiac symptoms. The third patient had clinical evidence of an acute massive myocardial infarction, which was proved at autopsy to be due to coronary atherosclerosis. This case is presented in detail and the association between systemic lupus erythematosus and myocardial infarction is reviewed. It is postulated that the relation between lupus erythematosus and coronary atherosclerosis is more than coincidental.

Cysts of the vagina: Classification and clinical correlations.

The clinical and morphologic features, as well as the classification, of surgically excised cysts of the vagina were reviewed. Sixty-four cysts were available for study. Classification was principally along developmental grounds, based on histologic and histochemical features of cyst epithelium. Detection of epithelial mucus production reduced significantly the incidence of Gartner's duct (mesonephric) cysts, indicating that this is an uncommon lesion. Cysts of mullerian origin, lined mainly by endocervical and occasionally by fallopian tubal epithelium, comprised one-third of the cases. Inclusion cysts of surface mucosa constituted the most common, but usually a clinically insignificant, type of vaginal cyst. Dilation of paraurethral glands and ducts could not adequately explain all the several cysts lined by urothelium. These lesions were difficult to distinguish on clinical grounds, alone, although mullerian cysts were nor symptomatic, due to their greater size.
