[Value of skeletal scintigraphy in the therapy of breast cancer].

A retrospective review of the results of bone scintigrams performed on 130 patients after radical mastectomy for breast cancer revealed a positive scintigram rate of 9%. Bone scintigrams were positive in 5 out of 63 patients (8%) with stage II and in 6 out of 50 patients (12%) with stage III. 5 out of 23 patients (20%) with more than four positive axillary lymph nodes had a positive bone scintigram. These results indicate that preoperative bone scintigrams should be obtained routinely only in patients with stage III breast cancer and in patients with bone pain. Postoperative bone scintigrams should be performed in patients with positive axillary lymph nodes.

Bone Neoplasms

[Report on multilocated nonspecific coin-like pneumonias (author's transl)].

A report is given about case-histories of coin-imitating pneumonias. The problem of differential diagnosis are discussed. Special emphasis is put on the combination of peripheral bronchial carcinomas with coin-like accompanying pneumonias. Because of different therapeutic consequences a differentiation from metastases seems usefull.

Aged

[Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary coin lesions].

In the present analysis, the diagnosis as well as the differential diagnosis of solitary pulmonary coin lesions are discussed. The coin lesions of 361 patients who were at our diagnostic ward from 1968 to 1970 were defined according to Rube [1967]. The investigations are in accordance with the routine examinations and were consciously demonstrated in nonselected patients in order to express the several diagnostic procedures, their field of indication and their efficiency in a balanced ratio. Therefore, the efficacy of the X-ray diagnosis could be proved in a broader range than in a collective of circular foci which would have been chosen exclusively under the aspect of the diagnosis by means of needle biopsy and which would reveal a higher percentage of morphological clarification of the focus.

Adolescent

[Pneumopathia osteoplastica (pulmonary ossification) (author's transl)].

The Pneumopathia osteoplastica is a rare disease manifesting in two different forms of appearance. The tuberous (nodular) ossification affects mainly younger persons and is resulting in the great majority from chronic congestion of the lung due to mitral stenosis. Compared to it the idiopathic racemose (ramified) form affects older males. The paper is based on 9 cases of the two morphologic variants. The clinical aspects, etiologym morphology, and differential diagnosis of them are discussed with regard to newer publications.
