    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 On the basis of the retrospective analysis of 405 patients, suggesting the clinical relevance of the Kiel classification of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), a prospective multicenter study was started on October 1st, 1975, by the Kiel Lymphoma Study Group in order to further clarify the clinical and prognostic features of the different lymphoma entities defined by this histopathologic scheme. Diagnostic protocol provides initial staging evaluation according to a modification of the Ann Arbor classification. Therapeutic approach is based on the hypothesis that, like Hodgkin's disease, NHL originate, at least in part, as localized lymphatic or extralymphatic tumors. Thus, extended field irradiation is performed in stages I and II (except for lymphoblastic lymphoma in children and young adults) whereas in the more advanced stages III and IV (except for stage III of centroblastic-centrocytic lymphoma) chemotherapy with additional radiotherapy is applied. Until June 1979, 815 patients entered the study (69.7% with NHL of low-grade malignancy). For the interim evaluation underlying the present and the other papers of this series data of 511 patients were available. Survival of patients with NHL of low-grade malignancy significantly exceeds that of patients with NHL of high-grade malignancy. NHL with good prognosis such as chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and centroblastic-centrocytic lymphoma can be differentiated from NHL with a poor course such as lymphoblastic and immunoblastic lymphomas. In addition, the existence of a third group with an intermediate prognosis comprising centrocytic and centroblastic lymphomas and, possibly, also LP immunocytoma is suggested. However, different initial slope of survival curves shows that this latter group of NHL is not homogeneous with regard to prognosis.

    Notes: Summary Using the Kiel and the Rappaport classifications, a comparative histopathological analysis of 486 cases with non-Hodgkin lymphomas from a prospective study of the Kiel Lymphoma Study Group, still in progress, was performed. The greater part of Rappaport's classical lymphoma entities was found to be inhomogeneous and to include tumors of considerable prognostic heterogeneity, as shown by differences in actuarial survival. Some of the Kiel lymphoma entities have been identified in several lymphoma types of the Rappaport classification, indicating that “translation” of one scheme into the other is difficult or impossible. In addition, centrocytic lymphoma of the Kiel classification may not be homogeneous. On the whole, the Kiel classification appears to be superior to the original Rappaport classification in categorizing the various prognostically diverse types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

    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.
