Epidermodysplasia verruciformis: viral particles in early malignant lesions.

Two cases of epidermodysplasia verruciformis were studied histologically and electron microscopically. Four lesions examined were histologically benign, and had viral particles morphologically similar to that of common human warts. Two lesions on the forehead and the face were histologically in the stages of malignant transformation, the intraepidermal epithelioma and the early invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Similar viral particles were also observed in the upper layers of these 2 lesions. These results suggest that at least some of the virus-induced lesions of epidermodysplasia verruciformis actually become malignant.

The virus of epidermodysplasia verruciformis: electron microscopic and fluorescent antibody studies.

Five cases of epidermodysplasia verruciformis were studied for viral particles and antigens. In all benign lesions tested, viral particles and antigens were observed by electron microscopy of ultrathin sections and/or tissue extracts and by fluorescent antibody staining with an antiserum against human wart virus. Both viral particles and antigens were observed in the cells of the stratum granulosum and the stratum corneum and not in those of deeper layers. Viral particles and antigens were observed in nuclei. Viral particles resembled morphologically the virus of common human warts. In two, one on the forehead and the other on the inner aspect of the upper thigh, of six lesions showing the histology of early malignancy, viral particles were observed by electron microscopy of ultrathin sections and/or tissue extracts. Four advanced malignant lesions, two primary ulcerated squamous cell carcinomas and two recurrent carcinomas, were similarly studied. In none of them, were viral particles or antigens detected. These results suggest that (1) the virus of epidermodysplasia verruciformis is related with that of common human warts both morphologically and antigenically, (2) at least some of the virus-induced lesions of epidermodysplasia verruciformis become malignant, and (3) when the lesions are completely replaced with malignant cells, neither viral particles nor antigens are recognizable in them.

[Spontaneous spinal subarachnoidal hematoma--case report (author's transl)].

"Spontaneous intraspinal canal hematomas' are rare clinical conditions. These are classified as epidural, subdural and subarachnoid. Especially, subarachnoid hematoma is rare only two cases being reported by Bouzarth (1968). We have reported surgical treatment of a female with intraspinal canal subarachnoid hematoma. The patient presented with sudden onset of backpain, followed by paraplegia, sensory impairment and urinary retention. A lumbar tap revealed bloody CSF a complete block. A left vertebral angiography was normal. However, a myelography showed a filling defect at Th5. A laminectomy was performed and a subarachnoid hematoma at the Th1-5 level was completely removed. Etiology of the legion was not identified. The patient made an uneventful recovery. This case suggests that intraspinal canal hematoma needs an operation as soon as possible, especially with urinary retention.
