    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Anhand von 32 Patienten mit T-Zonen-Lymphom wurden klinisches Bild, Ansprechen auf die Therapie und die Prognose dieser neuen Lymphom-Entität analysiert. Das Krankheitsbild entwickelt sich relativ rasch mit generalisierten Lymphknotenschwellungen und Beeinträchtigung des Allgemeinbefindens. Häufig sind Hepato- und/oder Splenomegalie und Hauteffloreszenzen vorhanden. Einige Patienten zeigen hyperimmunisatorische Reaktionen, selten auch schwere autoimmunhämolytische Anämien. Die Blutkörperchensenkungsgeschwindigkeit ist meistens stark beschleunigt; die Immunglobuline sind zum Teil polyklonal vermehrt, zum Teil auch vermindert. In einigen Fällen finden sich ganz vereinzelt atypische Lymphozyten in Blut- und Sternalmarkausstrichen. Auffallend ist die häufige Absiedlung in Lunge oder Pleura (bei 40,5% der Patienten). Die Prognose ist ungünstig. Die Mehrzahl der Erkrankten befindet sich bei Diagnosestellung bereits in den Stadien III und IV. Organinfiltration und -Verdrängung bei weitgehender Resistenz gegenüber den üblichen therapeutischen Maßnahmen und zunehmender Abwehrschwäche führen rasch ad exitum. Die Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit beträgt 0,48 für das 1. Jahr nach Diagnosestellung. Die Prognose der Patienten in den Stadien I und II ist deutlich besser als die der Patienten in den Stadien III und IV.
    Notes: Summary The clinical symptoms, response to therapy, and prognosis of T-zone lymphoma were analyzed in 32 cases. This recently defined lymphoma entity developed relatively quickly with generalized lymphadenopathy and general malaise. Hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly and skin efflorescence were frequent presenting symptoms. A few patients showed hyperimmune reactions and occasionally severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was usually markedly elevated. There was sometimes a polyclonal increase in serum immunoglobulin, sometimes a reduction. Blood and bone marrow smears from a few patients showed occasional atypical lymphocytes. A remarkable finding was the frequent involvement of lung or pleura (40.5% of the patients). The prognosis is unfavorable. Most of the patients were in stages III or IV at the time of diagnosis. Massive infiltration of organs, resistance to routine therapy, and decreasing resistance to infection resulted in death soon after diagnosis. The probability of survival was 0.48 in the first year after diagnosis. The prognosis for patients in stages I and II was clearly better than that for patients in stages III and IV.

    Notes: Summary 172 cases of lymphogranulomatosis X (LgX) were studied by light microscopy. In 53 cases immunohistological techniques for detecting intracytoplasmic immunoglobulins were applied. In the lymph nodes of all cases the nodal architecture was found to be effaced. Active germinal centres were absent, and there was a generalized, markedly increased proliferation of epithelioid venules. A polymorphic infiltrate was present in all cases. It was dominated by immunoblasts in 14%, by plasma cells in 16%, by epithelioid cells in 23% and by lymphocytes in 6% of the cases. In the remaining 41% of the cases no special type of cell predominated (mixed cell type of LgX). The clusters of clear cells present in some cases with immunoblastic predominance did not stain for intracytoplasmic immunoglobulins; in contrast, the basophilic immunoblasts exhibited a polyclonal Ig pattern. In some of the cases with lymphocytic predominance most of the lymphocytes showed abundant cytoplasm with azurophil granules. Transformation into malignant lymphoma was proven at autopsy in 5 of 38 cases (13.2%). Malignant transformation (biopsy and autopsy material) was confirmed in a total of 11 of 172 cases (6.4%) and suspected in an additional 7%. Among the malignant lymphomas were one immunologically proven B-immunoblastic lymphoma, one peripheral T cell lymphoma and 5 cases of Hodgkin's disease. An association between LgX and carcinoma was histologically verified in 7 cases. 26 cases with active germinal centres and 11 cases with only locally pronounced vascularization but with histological and cytological changes that were otherwise similar to LgX were designated as hyperimmune reactions (HR). These cases had a significantly better prognosis. Two cases that presented as HR with active germinal centres later developed into LgX. It is suggested that the disappearance of active germinal centres is important in the pathogenesis of LgX. The possibility that this may correspond morphologically to an alteration of different components of the T-cell system is discussed.

    Notes: Summary A quantitative analysis of leukocytes in the periphere blood of 16 patients with lymphogranulomatosis X revealed the following findings: 1. The number of total leukocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils varied considerably and showed no clear common tendency. 2. Blood basophils were found to be clearly increased with a mean value of 0.17±0.18×109/l as compared to 55 normal donors (0.04±0.01×109/l). 3. Lymphocyte counts were within the normal range. Lymphopenia was seen in 2 patients. 4. Lymphocytes with azure granules which encompass T-suppressors were found to exceed normal values by a factor of 15. 5. In 14 cases a variable number of hyperbasophil cells were present. Lymphogranulomatosis X seems to present with a characteristic blood picture which might be of diagnostic aid.

    Notes: Summary Five cases of T-zone lymphoma were investigated with histologic, immunologic, and cytogenetic methods. The chromosome analyses were performed on lymphoma cells prepared immediately after removal of the lymph nodes. The chromosomes involved in structural rearrangements were nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, and Y. Numbers 3, 5, 6, and 13 were lost by some tumors, and nos. 3 and 9 were gained. Chromosome 3 was involved most often in structural and numerical aberrations, whereas 14q+ markers occurred in only one case. The importance of multidisciplinary studies is pointed out.

    Notes: Summary The use of intraoperative choledochoscopy represents a significant advance in biliary surgery. Flexible instruments are ideal for examining the intrahepatic bile ducts, while rigid instruments are best suited for the extrahepatic ductal system. The cystic duct stump may be occasionally used for access, but, as a rule, a supraduodenal choledochotomy is necessary. Our experience with 776 examinations is reported. A total of 348 patients (44.8%) had ductal stones. In 10 patients (2.8%), a stone was overlooked. Equivocal cholangiograms, ductal stones, and obstructive tumors constitute the most important indications for endoscopic examination.
