    Notes: Abstract. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to describe the different mammographic aspects of residual Lipiodol ultra fluid (LUF) after galactography, and to define some specific patterns, because it may in some cases mimic microcalcifications and give diagnostic problems. The mammograms of 14 patients, aged 32–63 years, presenting LUF residues related to previous galactography, were analyzed retrospectively. In 12 cases the diagnosis was easy because the patients presented a typical pattern on mammography and came with their initial galactography. In 2 cases the diagnosis was more difficult because the patients did not remember the previous injection and the progressive resorption mimicked perfectly intraductal calcification. Benign duct ectasia with inflammatory reaction to foreign bodies were found in 3 cases in which surgery was performed. Lipiodol ultra fluid is no longer used for galactography, but it may persist in breast ducts or cysts for years and seems to still be used in some countries. There are in most cases specific signs enabling the diagnosis.

    Notes: Summary The purpose of a randomized trial achieved in a single centre (Fondation Bergonié, Bordeaux, France) was to compare chemotherapy alone (intravenous CMF) versus chemotherapy and hormonotherapy (CMF plus tamoxifen — 30 mg per day during 2 years), for patients with stage II breast carcinoma and positive values of estrogen and/or progesterone receptor (EPR) (〉10 and 〉15 fmoles mg protein−1 respectively). Three hundred and thirty four women treated by surgery ± radiotherapy are included in this trial from 06.01.81 to 12.31.84. No patient is lost for follow-up. Eight are excluded. Three hundred and twenty six patients are evaluable with a 38 month median follow-up. For EPR assay, the dextran charcoal micromethod was used in the same centre. The two groups are identical as far as age, hormonal status, TNM, EPR values, and histological features are concerned. Analysis of results shows a significant improvement of relapse free survival (p = 0.018) and also overall survival (p = 0.04) for the CMF + tamoxifen group.
