Diffuse lymphangiomyomatosis.

A case of diffuse lymphangiomyomatosis with involvement of the large veins of the body is reported. The clinical, pathologoanatomic and especially the roentgenologic findings are described. Interstitial lung thickening, pleural effusions and spontaneous pneumothorax are findings which together with a stasis in the lymphatic system strongly suggest the diagnosis. The extensive involvement of the venous system supports the theory of a hamartomatous nature of the disease.

Experimental results to immunomesenchymal suppression.

Wet weight of cotton-pellet granuloma and 35SO4-uptake in the acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS) of granulation tissue of rats and the number of plaque forming cells (PFC) of mice were investigated after the treatment with antilymphocyte globulin, prednisolone, cyclophosphamide and azathioprine. In this way, the effect of these substances could be observed in a mesenchymal reaction and in an immune reaction. The substances are mesenchymosuppressive as well as immunosuppressive, but the present results show that the effective dosage is higher for mesenchymal suppression than for immunosuppression. Antilymphocyte globulin did not cause an alteration of the 35SO4-uptake in AMPS. These experimental findings confirm the clinical experience in the treatment of the so-called autoimmunological diseases which are primary localized in connective tissue. These diseases need a higher dosage of cytostatic substances, glucocorticoids and antilymphocyte globulin in times of acute inflammatory exacerbation than in the chronic phase.
