Amphicrine tumor of the vulva.

We resected a vulvar tumor, present for five years, from a 75-year-old female, and performed light and electron microscopy. Simultaneous proliferation of exo-, endo- and amphicrine cells was demonstrated. Based on histological evidence, the case is considered as a hitherto undescribed amphicrine tumor of the vulva.

Surgical management of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas.

In the post decade seven patients have been operated for pulmonary arteriovenous fistula at the 3rd Department of Surgery of the Semmelweis University Medical School, Budapest. Three of the patients were adults, the others being children and adolescents. Fistules were localized in the left lower lobe in four cases, and in the right upper lobe in three cases.

Isolated granulomatous disease of the stomach.

A case of isolated granulomatous gastritis observed in a 66-year-old female patient is reported. The gastric granulomatosis gave rise to pyloric stenosis, and at the first explorative laparotomy the change was misdiagnosed for an inoperable tumour. Gastroscopy then revealed the presence of a peptic ulcer, which healed completely on drug therapy.
