The clinical diagnosis of carcinoma of the thyroid gland (CTG) is a difficult and responsible problem. The importance of cytologic and histologic methods of examination has grown, they determine the therapeutic tactics and the volume of the operative intervention. Clinical examination and operations were carried out on 484 patients with various diseases of the thyroid. The examination included inspection of the thyroid gland, radioisotope scanning, radiological examination of the neck, mediastinum and lungs, ultrasonic study, and aspiration biopsy with further cytologic study of the material. Among the patients treated by surgery 58 (11.9%), 39 females and 19 males (2:1), were found to have CTG. Intraoperative emergency cytologic and histologic study was conducted in 30 patients. Differentiated CTG was revealed in all cases. Among the patients who were operated on 5 died from CTG in a 10-year follow-up period. The importance of aspiration biopsy, under conditions of an outpatient clinic in particular, is emphasized. The results of operative treatment of differentiated CTG show that early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention are conducive to a favourable prognosis in relation to the patients survival period.

Chemodectoma of the neck is one of the rare tumors occurring in man. The paper presents an observation of cervical chemodectoma found in a patient aged 31 years. For preoperative differential diagnosis, carotid angiography, ultrasound and radioisotopic examinations were used, which allowed the tumor located at the bifurcation of the left carotid artery to be diagnosed. The material taken during the surgery was histologically and electron microscopically examined to verify benign chemodectoma (an alveolar variant).

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a very rare disease. Such aneurysms are distinguished according to their form (saccular and fusiform) and origin (congenital and acquired). A case is reported of PAA rupture in a female patient, aged 58, that had long been ill with a rheumatic mitral valvular disease. A number of conditions favoured the origination of PAA and its disruption. They are: the existence of combined rheumatic heart disease, widespread posttuberculous pneumosclerosis with pulmonary emphysema and thrombosis of the right pulmonary artery as a result of chronic cardiovascular failure.

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumour. Small-nodular structure, necrotic foci in the centre of tumour nodes, moderate lymphocytic infiltration are characteristic histologic features of this tumour. Majority of tumour cells have the appearance of epithelioid histiocytes. Some tumour cells are found in small cavities resembling hyalin cartilage lacunes. Signs of a synovial, fibroblastic and histiocytic differentiation are observed ultrastructurally in the epithelioid sarcoma cells On the basis of the literature analysis and their own ultrastructural data the authors conclude that there should be a relation of this tumor with pluripotential stem cells of mesenchyma surrounding distal part of the chondral bone germ.

Postmortem observation of a false heart aneurysm in a man of 64 is presented. The false aneurysm was located on the posterior surface of the heart and had the appearance of a dome-like protruding sac 16 cm in diameter and 0,3 cm thick, communicating with the left ventricle cavity through a hole 2,5 cm in diameter. The aneurysm wall consisted of hyalinized connective tissue.
