    Cardiac iron overload in thalassemic patients: An endomyocardial biopsy study (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Secondary heart failure induced by organ siderosis is the main cause of death in patients affected by thalassemia major. At present it cannot be predicted whether heart siderosis is correlated with iron overload and little is known about the real cardiac histological pattern of post transfusional hemochromatosis in patients with thalassemia major and intermedia. The study aim was to evaluate cardiac iron overload by non invasive and invasive techniques. Fifteen thalassemic patients were investigated and endomyocardial biopsy performed in ten revealed different grades of endomyocardial iron overload with histochemical positivity. Non invasive techniques are not able to furnish an exact picture of the cardiac hemochromatosis. There was a significant correlation between serum ferritin and myocardial iron grade. Patients with elevated ferritin levels and poor compliance to chelating therapy are at high risk of severe heart hemochromatosis. It was seen that endomyocardial biopsy is a useful tool in studying myocardial iron.

    Leiomyomatosis with vascular invasion. A unified pathogenesis regarding leiomyoma with vascular microinvasion, benign metastasizing leiomyoma and intravenous leiomyomatosis (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Three uterine leiomyomas with vascular invasion (LWVI), two of which were associated with pulmonary leiomyomatous nodules, and a case of intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) invading the vena cava and extending to the right atrium, are described. Despite their histological benignity, these lesions have a strong tendency to metastasize and are closely related to the socalled benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML). From a clinical point of view, the pulmonary nodules of LWVI are stable or slowly-growing. The IVL was a “wormlike” tumour that presented as a cardiac mass. On the basis of their histological and immunohistological features, a unified histogenetic view of LWVI, IVL and BML of the uterus is proposed. LWVI and BML may be the same pathological entity and microscopic vascular invasion may represent the metastatic mechanism of BML. Alternatively, LWVI may be the initial stage of IVL. In rare instances, IVL may be associated with distant parenchymal (pulmonary) metastases. LWVI seems to be the precursor of both BML and IVL.
