[Bladder pheochromocytoma and pregnancy. A case report].

The authors report the case of a 31-year old patient who successfully completed a pregnancy despite unsuspected bladder pheochromocytoma. After delivery, the patient required care post-partum due to serious hemodynamic problems. Hypertension had been attributed to toxemia of pregnancy. The authors recall the diagnostic difficulties of tumors of this type, and the means which can be used for topographical diagnosis and the precautions to be taken before this tumor can be treated surgically.

[Value of immunohistochemistry with paraffin in malignant lymphoma of the lymphoid tissue associated to the mucosa (MALT) of the digestive tract. Apropos of 8 cases with complete review of the literature].

The authors report eight cases of MALT malignant lymphomas arising in the stomach in four cases, small intestine in two cases and salivary glands in two cases. The gastric lymphomas presented in the form of persistent epigastric pain sometimes lasting for several years, in patients with a mean age of 50.5 years. Gastroscopy revealed recurrent ulcerations in two cases and ulcerated or ulcero-fungating tumours in two cases. The two patients with alpha heavy chain disease, both 21 years of age, presented with chronic diarrhoea. The endoscopic appearance consisted of a pseudopolypoid tumour in one case and a mosaic appearance in the other case. The two salivary gland lymphomas involved the submandibular gland in two patients aged 30 years and 50 years. They presented in the form of nodules 1 and 2 cm in diameter, first detected by the patients two months and four months previously. Histological examination demonstrated the presence of typical lesions of MALT lymphoma with, in particular, the presence of constant lympho-epithelial lesions, various forms of centrocyte-like proliferation, varying degrees of plasma cell differentiation, reactive or residual lymphoid follicles in five cases, which were detected on biopsies in three cases. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the monoclonal nature of the tumour in seven cases, i.e. 87.5% of cases. The application of DBB42 and DNA7 antibodies onto paraffin sections demonstrated the absence of DNA7 labelling of CCL in line with Isaacson's findings in favour of the hypothesis of a non-centrofollicular origin of maltomas. Finally, we observed a single case of recurrence in a women with incomplete resection of the primary gastric tumour.

[Malt digestive system lymphomas and alpha heavy chain diseases. Histological and immunohistochemical study. Apropos of 3 cases].

Malt lymphomas are lymphomas developed from mucosa associated lymphoid tissue and may involve many sites such as the gastrointestinal tract, salivary glands, thyroid gland lung, breast and female genital tract. Histologically, their diagnosis is based upon the existence of four elements: centrocyte-like cells that are responsible for lymphoepithelial lesions that are sometimes very difficult to demonstrate reactive or residual follicles and plasma cells. We study 2 cases of gastric Malt lymphoma and one of alpha heavy chain disease involving the small intestine and the stomach and we try to define the common features of Malt lymphoma, alpha chain disease and non-secretary IPSID, which all present the clinical tetralogy mentioned above.

[Gastric xanthelasma. Apropos of 2 of our cases].

On the basis of two personal cases and a review of the literature, we have attempted to define endoscopic and histologic features in gastric xanthelasma. The various etiopathogenic hypotheses published in the literature are reviewed and others are suggested. Attention is drawn to the differential diagnosis with mucus-secreting cell carcinoma. Use of stains for mucus in such lesions is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.

[Schistosomiasis in Tunisia. Results after 10 years of the endemics control].

Despite the progress already made in the field of epidemiology and the control of schistosomiasis, the practical application of an efficient and economically acceptable methodology still remains a difficult problem to solve. In the saharian and pre-saharian regions of Tunisia, Bulinus truncatus was successfully controlled while at the same time most of the infected people were treated, so that the transmission did not show up through the appearance of new cases at the outset of the 2nd semester 1976. A system of epidemiologic supervision and yearly evaluation of the results has been implemented in order to strengthen this positive fact and to ensure the cure of residual cases.

Sexual behavior of a sample of females with epilepsy.

A sample of 700 female epileptic outpatients was examined between 1985 and 1987. The incidence of psychosexual disorders was 18%. Epileptic females with psychosexual disorders were compared with epileptic females without sexual disorders and with normal female controls on selected clinical and EEG parameters. Epileptic females with sexual disorders showed: lower marriage rates, a longer duration of illness, sexually colored prodromata, predominance of partial complex seizures (83%) and a higher incidence of menstrual abnormalities. Hyposexuality and exhibitionism were the psychosexual disorders most frequently noted. Temporal lobe EEG abnormalities were significantly higher.
