A Rare Case of Large Lateral Chest Wall Hibernoma.

Hibernomas, rare benign tumors originating from brown adipose tissue, pose diagnostic challenges due to their infrequent occurrence and slow growth. We present a case of a 38-year-old woman with a progressively enlarging mass in her right lateral chest wall, initially stable in size but growing during pregnancy and causing pain and functional impairment. Radiological evaluation, including x-ray and MRI, provided inconclusive results, necessitating a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis.

On the pathology and localisation of Cysticercus ovis in the skin of sheep.

Histological studies were conducted with experimentally and spontaneously infected lambs on the localisation of T. ovis larvae in the subcutaneous connective tissue and in the skin. In the first few days following infection an inflammatory process in the papillar and reticular skin layers was found, causing skin defects which appeared on tanning.

[Localization of Cysticercus ovis in experimentally infected lambs].

An experimental infection was induced in lambs with 1000, 4000, 7000, and 30000 T. ovis eggs. It was found for the first time that Cysticercus ovis could be established not only in the already known regions of the body, but also in the skin and the subcutaneous connective tissue.

[Pathogenic role of O. venulosum in lambs].

Studied was the effect of an experimental infection of lambs with 1000 and 4000 larvae of Oesophagostomum venulosum on the activity of some more important serum enzymes, the level of sulfhydryl groups, and the level of sugar. It was found that the activity of glutamic acid oxal-acetate transaminase and lactic acid dehydrogenase rose, and that of alkaline phosphatase dropped. At 4000 larvae the level of glutamic acid pyruvate transaminase rose.
