[Primary stenosing cholangitis].

Abstract

Five cases of sclerosing cholangitis are recorded from 3697 biliary operations. Two patients had a cancerous course and 1 associated ulcerative colitis. The first two cases could be classified as primary sclerosing cholangitis. They are described. The pathogenetic mechanisms and treatment of this affection are discussed.

Frequent amplification of the c-met gene in scirrhous type stomach cancer.

Amplification of the c-met gene, that encodes hepatocyte growth factor receptor, was examined on human esophageal, gastric and colorectal carcinomas. Six (55%) of the 11 gastric carcinoma cell lines and 15 (23%) of the 64 advanced gastric carcinomas showed the c-met gene amplification. Among them, c-met amplification was detected in 5 gastric cancer cell lines, derived from scirrhous gastric carcinoma and in 5 (38%) of 13 scirrhous gastric carcinoma tissues. Furthermore, patients of gastric carcinoma with c-met amplification showed significantly advanced tumor stage and poorer prognosis than those without the amplification. Conversely, no amplification was detected in any of the esophageal and colorectal carcinoma cell lines as well as carcinoma tissues except one colonic carcinoma. These results overall suggest that amplification of the c-met gene might participate in carcinogenesis and progression of stomach cancer, especially scirrhous type stomach carcinoma.

Adenocarcinoma, Scirrhous

Carcinoma of the male breast metastatic to the mandible.

A case is reported of male breast carcinoma which, among other bony sites, metastasized to the mandible. This case and the review of the literature illustrate the need to include the mandible in bone scans for metastatic disease in breast cancer.

Adenocarcinoma, Scirrhous

[Granular cell tumor misdiagnosed as scirrhous breast cancer].

The granular cell tumour, a rare benign tumour of the breast, is described. Its appearance is highly suspicious for malignancy on clinical, mammographic and ultrasonographic investigations. Only histological examination of the tumour, which mimics a scirrhous carcinoma, leads to the definite diagnosis.
