Abstract

It is very important to have a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of cutaneous sinuses and fistulae prior to surgical intervention. This paper describes a modification of the Seldinger technique for the demonstration of these sinuses and fistulae, especially those extending into bone.

Erdheim-Chester disease: a case report with immunohistochemical and biochemical examination.

This report describes a 47-year-old man with Erdheim-Chester disease (EC), the second case reported in Japan. The patient complained of knee pain, and the roentgenogram of the bilateral legs revealed symmetric osteolytic lesions with sclerosis of the metaphyseal regions of the long bones. Histological examination of the biopsy specimen showed a xanthogranulomatous lesion consisting of aggregations of foamy macrophages and Touton-type giant cells. Immunohistochemical study of the foamy cells in the lesion showed positive reaction to anti-Kp-1, anti-S-100 alpha, beta, anti-neuron-specific enolase (NSE), anti-alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, anti-alpha-1-antitrypsin, and anti-lysozyme antibodies. Electron microscopy showed many lipid droplets in the cytoplasm, but no Langerhans granules. These results suggested that the disease was part of the spectrum of histiocytosis but was different from Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Biochemical analysis of material extracted from a lesion showed the predominance of cholesterol ester. The disease progressed to central diabetes insipidus, and the involvement of multiple organs was indicated by a magnetic resonance image.

Detection of bone lesions in Langerhans cell histiocytosis: complementary roles of scintigraphy and conventional radiography.

PURPOSE: This research was undertaken to determine the relative sensitivity of scintigraphic and radiographic bone survey examinations in detecting bone lesions in various regions of the skeleton in patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Radionuclide skeletal scintigraphy (RNSS) and x-ray skeletal surveys (XRSS) of 42 children with a histopathologic diagnosis of LCH were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS: Of the 191 lesions detected in 42 patients, 36 (19%) were missed on RNSS and 55 (29%) were missed on XRSS. Most of the missed lesions on RNSS were in the skull (26 of 36). XRSS also missed 13 skull lesions seen on RNSS. Most of the lesions missed on XRSS were in the ribs (20 of 30 rib lesions), whereas RNSS identified 29 of them. XRSS also missed 13 of 38 lesions in the spine and pelvis, while RNSS demonstrated all of them. Both modalities showed comparable sensitivity in the extremities. CONCLUSION: RNSS has a greater value in detecting sites of bone involvement with LCH than reported previously. RNSS is more sensitive than XRSS in detecting histiocytic lesions in the ribs, spine and pelvis and less sensitive in identifying lesions in the skull.

[Osteo-articular complications of heart transplantation].

Heart transplantation is an effective means of treating irreversible heart failure in selected patients. Preventing organ rejection requires immunosuppressor treatment with corticosteroids, azathioprine and/or cyclosporine. Bone and joint complications are frequent and increase overall morbidity directly related to anti-rejection therapy. Corticosteroids favour osteopenia which can be detected by measurement of bone density. The risks include spontaneous wedge fractures of the spine and aseptic necrosis. The frequency of complications has been reduced with the use of cyclosporine allowing a reduction in corticosteroids. Raised serum urate levels and increased risk of gout can be induced by cyclosporine. The gout in these patients has a particular course since it appears rapidly after only a few months of hyperuricaemia. Several joints may be involved with production of tophi. Treatment is particularly difficult. Its frequency increases after heart transplantation compared with other organs which can be explained by the more prevalent prescription of diuretics which further aggravate urate secretion. These complications cause further discomfort in transplant recipients.
