[The Wermer syndrome].

The difficult diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients having gastrinoma with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN I) has been discussed by reference to the literature and a personal experience of 2 patients with Wermer syndrome. The syndrome is often familial and might be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with a high but variable degree of penetrance. Pancreatic islets, parathyroid glands and adenohypophyseal [correction of antehypophyseal] cells are the three localization main for endocrine involvement in MEN I syndrome.

[The heart: a spectator or participant in neoplasms? Neoplastic subacute cor pulmonale].

Neoplastic subacute cor pulmonale is a distinct clinical syndrome that is often not too easily diagnosed. Such rapid development of cor pulmonale is observed in a patient with lymphangitis carcinomatosa of the lung consecutive to a cancer of the stomach with splenic, pancreatic and lymph nodes invasion. Diagnosis was established on transition of the normal ECG to a typical pattern of cor pulmonale and was revealed by chest roentgenographic examination (interstitial syndrome finding) and fatal evolution of severe respiratory failure. Necroptic and pathological studies confirmed histologic lung involvement by tumoral emboli and lymphangitic carcinoma the tosis and documented neoplasm in the stomach.

[Thyroid cancers].

We have analysed factors that influenced on the patient survival in 195 cases of thyroid cancer. The survival is essentially influenced by the histology, the papillary forms (survival after 15 years: 83.1-93%) and follicular cancers (survival after 15 years: 84-94%) having an excellent evolution. The non-differentiated and mixed cancers have a very severe prognosis that is independent of the complex therapy that have been used (survival after 5 years: 17.1% in non-differentiated forms and 32.5% in mixed ones). The prognosis is better in subjects under the age of 45 and in female subjects. The cancers in the 1-st and 2-nd stage of tumor extension have a better evolution that those in the 3-rd stage. In differentiated cancers, the total or subtotal thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine administration determine the best survival.
