[A case of carcinoma of the stomach with calcification (author's transl)].

The authors found only 25 cases of calcified carcinoma of the stomach in the literature. The course in this case was rapidly fatal. Calcification within the tumour infiltrates the gastric wall and has a very characteristic miliary appearance, permitting one to make the diagnosis on a straight X-Ray of the abdomen. The mechanism of precipitation of calcium within certain mucus-secreting carcinomas has not been determined. Various theories are suggested.

[Efficacity of treatment with lamivudine in two patients with severe reactivation of hepatitis B after withdrawal of chemotherapy].

Reactivation of chronic infection is a serious complication during and especially after the withdrawal of cancer chemotherapy in hepatitis B virus carriers. Mortality is high, ranging from 4 to 20%. We report two cases of severe reactivation, after withdrawal of chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia in one case and for a bladder tumor in the other. Recovery occurred with lamivudine therapy. Morbidity and mortality are common in these cases, especially when intensive chemotherapy and/or chronic hepatitis and/or precore mutants viruses are involved. Although lamivudine seems to be effective in these cases, prophylactic use has not been clearly defined and must be evaluated.
