Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans metastatic to a regional lymph node. Report of a case and review.

A case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the lower extremity with metastasis to an inguinal lymph node appearing 5 years after wide excision and skin grafting of the primary lesion is presented. The world literature is reviewed. This case is the 24th instance of metastasis and the 7th case of lymphatic metastasis. The other 17 cases were hematogenous metastases. The clinical and pathologic features of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans are reviewed, and treatment is discussed, with the aim of emphasizing the need for long-term followup examination of the regional lymph nodes following wide and deep local excision.

First trimester abortion by vacuum aspiration.

To compare the efficacy and complications of using the 8 mm diameter metal and flexible plastic cannulae for performing abortions of pregnancies of 7--10 menstrual weeks' gestation by vacuum aspiration, a comparative study was conducted. Both types of cannulae were randomly assigned to 300 subjects in a study design where the physician who performed the abortion was not the same person who evaluated the subject after the abortion or at the time of the follow-up visit. All abortions were performed under paracervical block anesthetic after mechanical dilatation of the cervix to 8.6 mm. The rates of specific complications, blood loss and the need for secondary procedures to complete the abortion were not significantly different for the two types of cannulae. The amount of tissue obtained with a routine curette check following the vacuum aspiration, and the incidence of cannula obstruction were similar for the two types of cannulae.
