Article: [Osteoradionecrosis in adults].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is not exceptional, despite advances in irradiation techniques. Six cases are reported, involving the pelvis, coxofemoral joint, mandible and vertebrae; in this last case, the semiologic value of the lucent intrasomatic image seen on plain films and tomographies of the vertebrae is underscored. The irradiation dose (above 3 000 rad) is the chief factor in osteoradionecrosis, which may be precipitated by adjuvant factors and potentiating events such as trauma and infection. Pathologic study shows several lesions whose association is suggestive: cell lesions, osteoporosis, vascular lesions, and foci of necrosis. The pathogenic significance of lesions of bone cells is demonstrated, while the part played by vascular lesions is controversial. Involvement of the pelvis and hips following irradiation of pelvic carcinoma is the most common. The scapular girdle and ribs may be involved in irradiation for breast cancer. In involvement of the mandible, remarkable features are its frequency following irradiation of carcinoma of the mouth, the significant part played by potentiating factors, i.e. infection and trauma, severity of complications, i.e. fistulae and hemorrhage, and lastly difficulties of management. Among infrequent sites, involvement of the vertebrae is of interest as it may mimic collapse due to osteoporosis or metastasis. Diagnosis rests on an association of criteria, and fortunately bone biopsy is usually unnecessary. The clinical features, topographical characteristics and course of the disease allow differentiation from bone metastasis; it may be more difficult to distinguish postirradiation sarcoma, which is exceptional, or a number of benign conditions, such as aseptic necrosis, infectious osteoarthritis, and destructive coxarthrosis.La semaine des hôpitaux : organe fondé par l'Association d'enseignement médical des hôpitaux de Paris. 06/1984; 60(19):1317-24. -
Article: [Diffuse bone metastases revealing pleural mesothelioma. Case report].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 76 year old man, presenting with symptoms of general malaise alone, had a marrow biopsy which showed and undifferentiated carcinoma. A subsequent autopsy revealed a multi-nodular pleural mesothelioma, which was not seen radiologically, presumably because of the small size of the nodule. There were bilateral adrenal metastases and diffuse bony metastases involving the marrow. An occupational contact with asbestos was retrospectively confirmed. It is rare that a pleural mesothelioma does not exhibit thoracic signs and very uncommon that bony metastases should give the diagnosis in such a tumour.Revue des Maladies Respiratoires 02/1984; 1(1):37-41. · 0.59 Impact Factor -
Article: [Yellow-nail syndrome. Review of the literature apropos of 2 cases associated with cancer].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two cases of "yellow-nail syndrome" are reported: in the first, nail changes began eight months after the diagnosis of a breast cancer; in the second, yellow dystrophic nails were associated with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy due to pleuro-pulmonary metastatic lesions. Clinical features are described: characteristic nail changes, lymphoedema, pleural effusions, and, often bronchopulmonary infections and sinusitis. Various combinations are seen, and the time between the development of the different manifestations may vary from several months to many years. Among associated diseases, immunological changes and malignancy are emphasized. The pathogenesis remains obscure. Accurate part taken by lymphoedema, immunological changes, is unknown, and the relationships between "yellow-nail syndrome" and malignancy are still uncertain.Annales de medecine interne 02/1984; 135(6):440-3. -

Article: [Inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis in palmoplantar pustulosis. Case report and review of the literature].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The case of a 46-year-old woman, who had pustulosis palmaris three years ago, and who has been experiencing inflammatory arthritis of the manubriosternal joint for two years with intermittent exacerbations, is reported. The negative bacteriologic investigations and the failure of antibiotic therapy have established that the condition is aseptic. Among patients with a history of palmo-plantar pustulosis, approximately 10% have aseptic inflammatory arthritis or osteitis, most commonly in the anterior chest wall. Other sites are the sacroiliac joints and the spine, where radiological features mimic ankylosing spondylitis, and peripheral joints. Laboratory anomalies are not specific, and HLA B27 antigen is not associated with this syndrome. The course of the arthritis, with exacerbations and remissions, is generally benign. The relationship of this syndrome to psoriatic arthritis is unclear. Non-steroidal antirheumatic drugs are the most effective agents.La semaine des hôpitaux : organe fondé par l'Association d'enseignement médical des hôpitaux de Paris. 10/1983; 59(32):2257-9. -
Article: [Nail pigmentation during therapy with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two patients under cytotoxic therapy developed pigmentation of their fingernails. The first, under doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide for lymphoma, had horizontal streaks, while the second, under cyclophosphamide for periarteritis nodosa, exhibited diffuse pigmentation. Nail pigmentation, which occurs after an interval of some weeks or months, varies from diffuse to horizontal or longitudinal streaks. Reversal of nail pigmentation some months after withdrawal of the drug is usual. Skin or mucous membrane pigmentation may coexist. The mechanism of pigmentation remains obscure. These changes are observed more frequently in black than in white patients. In some instances, they have been recorded in several members of the same family.La semaine des hôpitaux : organe fondé par l'Association d'enseignement médical des hôpitaux de Paris. 07/1983; 59(24):1840-1. -

[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The authors report the case of a 31-year-old man with thyrotoxicosis which occurred four months after the discontinuation of long-term corticosteroid therapy for sarcoidosis. Clinical and biological features of thyrotoxicosis were reversible when corticosteroid therapy was reinstated. A review of 27 cases from the literature provides the opportunity to recall the characteristic features of hyperthyroidism associated with sarcoidosis: female prevalence, usual presence of sarcoidosis at onset, secondary occurrence of hyperthyroidism, necessity for simultaneous treatment of both diseases, since corticosteroid therapy alone is infrequently sufficient.La semaine des hôpitaux : organe fondé par l'Association d'enseignement médical des hôpitaux de Paris. 04/1982; 58(10):617-20. -
Article: [Aortic dissection and Horton arteritis].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aortic dissection in a 61-year-old woman treated symptomatically and with a fatal outcome within three months by extension to the arch of the aorta and its major vessels, and as a direct result of haemopericardium. The association with temporal arteritis, presenting before the aortic complication by prolonged headache with raised sedimentation rate and painful inflammation of both temporal arteries, was confirmed by histopathological examination of the aorta. This revealed giant cell arteritis independent of atheromatous lesions. The association of aortic dissection and temporal arteritis is very rare. Clinical and pathological examination of the smaller arteries and in particular the craniocephalic arteries is therefore justified in all cases of aortic dissection. When it affects the aorta, temporal arteritis may favor aortic dissection as a result of changes in the media.Journal des Maladies Vasculaires 02/1982; 7(3):217-20. · 0.54 Impact Factor -
