[Vaginal swab in pediatric age].
Vaginal secretion sampling in young patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether different instrumental tools (the classical cotton swab, the urethral cotton swab, the balloon shape cotton swab and cyto-brush) yield different sampling success in young patients presenting with suspected vulvovaginitis. The study was conducted in a randomised prospective way on 100 children with symptoms of vulvovaginal infection (age range: 4 months -8 years ) seen at the Clinic of Paediatric Gynaecology of the Department of Obstetric and Gynaecology, "V.Buzzi" Children's Hospital, Milano (Italy). Children's compliance and the number of samples which had to be discontinued, because of children's intolerance have allowed the evaluation of each tools. Each of these tools was tested on 25 young patients. The vaginal secretion sampling was not possible on 8 patients out of 25 with cyto-brush (32%), on 7 out of 25 with the balloon shape cotton swab (28%), on 4 out of 25 with the classical cotton swab (16%) and only 1 out of 25 with the urethral cotton swab (4%). In conclusion all the instruments tested allow sampling of vaginal secretion in young children, but the reaction and compliance of the patients has been best with the otologic cotton swab.

[The role of imaging techniques in benign breast lesions].
Imaging techniques in breast pathology represent a basic complement to clinical and histopathological examinations. The combined use of these diagnostic procedures allows in the 90-95% of all cases a preoperative diagnosis of the lesion. Our fifteen years experience, made of thousands of examinations, supported from the data from current literature lead us to stress on one side the efficacy of mammography, that may be considered one of the three basic step in the differentiation of benign from malignant lesions and on the other hand the importance of ultrasonography (US). Especially US seems to have a high sensitivity in examining the juvenile breast, which is more often source of benign pathology. Mammography, when supported by a stereotactic equipment, which enables the surgeon to perform a wire guided biopsy, may further reduce the need for intraoperative histopathological examinations, which often have to be done under general anaesthesia. Old or controversial imaging devices like thermography or diafanoscopy appear to have no more role in the preoperative diagnosis of breast masses. Newer techniques like nuclear magnetic resonance or breast scintigraphy with 99-Tc have not gained an exact role yet.
