[Extramammary carcinoid tumor metastatic to the breast. Apropos of a case].

We report the case of a 42-year-woman treated for an appendicular carcinoid tumor with bilateral ovary metastases and mesenteric node involvement. After a systematic mammography, an infraclinical lesion of the breast was detected. Mammographic and echographic images revealed nodular mass with possibly malignant features. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy indicated malignancy. The definitive diagnosis of breast metastasis of a carcinoid tumor was made by biopsy. This case is related to 14 previously published cases. The authors emphasize the importance of making a precise histological diagnosis to avoid overtreatment of a metastatic lesion.

[Relative increase and metacritic aggravation in the diagnosis of anicteric cholestasis].

The authors report 3 cases and report the diagnostic usefulness of two signs of minor cholestasis described by one of them in 1966. A relative increase, in the absence of obvious virus hepatitis or cirrhosis, of the serum bilirubin, cholesterol, lipids and alkaline phosphatase, together with B.S.P. excretion. suggest minor cholestasis. The sign of "metacritical aggravation" when there is some suspicion of minor cholestasis, the supervision of the course of the disease, or a retrospective inquiry, permit, in the presence of minor symptoms, such as, pain, fever, jaundice, or pruritus, one to make the diagnosis of minor cholestasis. The latter is due either to the presence of small gall stones in the common bile duct, or to inflammation of the ampulla of Vater, or sphincter of Oddi, a Vaterian ampulloma, pancreatitis, or following damage to the common bile duct. In practice, liver biopsy confirms the diagnosis, and intravenous cholangiography, by the perfusion method, is usually able to demonstrate obstruction of the common bile duct.

Traumatic tear of the rotator interval.

We studied 10 patients with capsular tear of the glenohumeral joint in the rotator interval -- the triangular space separating the supraspinatus and subscapular tendons. The patients, manual laborers and athletic people, had no previous shoulder pain. Tears appeared after forced internal rotation caused by trauma. The pain was anterior and radiated distally. Pain was absent at rest but recurred immediately after activity was resumed. On examination, range of motion was normal. Hawkins' impingement sign and the palm-up test usually caused pain. Radiographic findings were normal. Arthrography showed leakage of contrast medium into the subscapularis fossa. The tear was not visualized with ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging. Eight patients underwent an operation consisting of minimal acromioplasty with coracoacromial ligament resection, coracoidplasty, and suture of the rotator interval. All patients had relief of pain and return of full function.

[Osteoid osteoma of the femur neck with synovitis simulating chronic monoarthritis of the hip].

The authors report a case of subperiosteal osteoid osteoma of the femoral neck in a 14 year-old girl presenting as chronic hip monoarthritis with narrowed coxofemoral joint space and non specific histological synovitis. They analyse the synovitis which is associated with some osteoid osteomas (hip, elbow, knee, ankle bones) emphasizing the "pseudo-arthritis of the hip" picture and insist that all cases of unexplained chronic monoarthritis of the hip should suggest subperiosteal osteoid osteoma of the neck.
