Les auteurs présentent un cas de cirrhose, développée sur une maladie de Wilson. Une greffe orthotopique de foie a été réalisée avec succès. Ils reprennent les principales indications de cette technique et décrivent également les manifestations de la maladie de Wilson en général et son diagnostic. [less ▲]

Plasmacytoma of the thyroid: a case report, a study with use of the immunoperoxidase technique, and a review of the literature.

A case of solitary plasmacytoma of the thyroid is reported. A monoclonal component (IgG lambda) was identified in the serum of the patient and disappeared after total thyroidectomy and radiotherapy. The ... [more ▼]

A case of solitary plasmacytoma of the thyroid is reported. A monoclonal component (IgG lambda) was identified in the serum of the patient and disappeared after total thyroidectomy and radiotherapy. The use of the immunoperoxidase technique on thyroid, bone marrow, and lymph node specimens allowed us to demonstrate the production of IgG lambda by the tumor, and to rule out the possibility of multiple myeloma. Previously reported cases are reviewed (15 cases). The diagnostic criteria, the association with thyroiditis, and the treatment of this rare disorder are discussed. [less ▲]

Follicular dendritic cells have been isolated from human tonsils and adenoids and characterized at the ultrastructural level. Follicles were dissected and digested with different hydrolytic enzymes. The cells were separated by sedimentation at unit gravity. By this procedure we obtained follicular dendritic cells enveloping lymphocytes with their cytoplasmic extensions in a way analogous to that described for isolated thymic nurse cells. The ultrastructural features of isolated follicular dendritic cells are similar to those observed in situ. Prolonged enzymatic action caused loss of the enveloped lymphocytes. [less ▲]
