    Notes: Summary Reports of sinonasal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, analysed with monoclonal antibodies, are scarce, and differentiation of these lymphomas from Wegener's granulomatosis can be difficult. In this study, we investigated histopathologically and immunohistologically 20 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, primary in the sinonasal region, and sinonasal biopsies from 11 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. All T-cell lymphomas (n=7) and plasmacytomas (n=4) were stage I at clinical presentation, while all B-cell lymphomas (n=9) presented at higher stages. T-cell lymphomas tended to be more frequent in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses; B-cell lymphomas more often presented in the nasopharynx. Remarkably, 1 B-cell lymphoma expressed MT1, and 1 T-cell lymphoma expressed L26 (CD 20). The follow-up of 2 patients with a clinical diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis was suggestive of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Retrospective immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the original histological diagnosis of non-specific inflammation had to be changed to T-cell lymphoma, pleomorphic small cell type. We conclude that a biopsy from the sinonasal region with a dense inflammatory infiltrate, consisting predominantly of Tlymphocytes, renders a diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis unlikely and is at least suspicious of T-cell lymphoma. Immunohistochemical analysis is warranted for this type of biopsy.

    Notes: Summary Methods for the simultaneous detection of two virus types in cytological preparations or tissue sections by non-radioactive in situ hybridization were investigated. As a model system, CaSki cells, which have human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV 16) DNA integrated in their cellular genome, were in vitro infected with Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). DNA probes for both viruses were labeled with biotin, acetylaminofluorene (AAF), and transaminated-sulfonated cytosine (TS-modified). Best results were obtained when a mixture of biotinated and haptenized DNA probes (AAF-or TS-modified) was used for hybridization. The biotinated hybrid was demonstrated with a streptavidinbiotinated alkaline phosphatase staining reaction, whereas the haptenized hybrid was visualized by an indirect peroxidase method. Visualisation of both viral DNAs in the same cell was possible by a combination of biotinated HPV 16 DNA and haptenized HSV2 DNA.

    Notes: Summary Enriched preparations of E, EA and EAC rosettes formed by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were freeze-etched and examined electron-microscopically. In E rosettes only lymphocytes were involved, whereas in EA and EAC rosettes lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes participated as rosette-forming cells. In EA and EAC rosettes, cytoplasmic extensions of the rosette forming cell were seen to penetrate the sheep red blood cell, whereas E rosettes showed a broad zone of adherence without penetration. None of the three types of rosettes showed an interspace between the membranes. Unlike E rosettes, EA and EAC rosettes showed polarity in the adherence of sheep red blood cells. These observations made by freeze-etch electron microscopy indicate distinct morphological differences between rosettes formed with coated or uncoated erythrocytes.

    Notes: Summary The incidence of micrometastases in cervical lymph nodes from squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck was studied using routine histopathological examination. Micrometastases were found in 66 lymph nodes in 41 of the 92 tumor-positive neck dissection specimens. The detection of these micrometastases influenced postoperative treatment in 3 of the 77 patients with neck node metastases. The value of additional sectioning for detecting micrometastases was thus assessed. Sectioning at a deeper level in 600 originally histopathologically negative lymph nodes from 64 patients revealed 7 additional micrometastases in 5 patients. Antikeratin staining with a mixture of two monoclonal antibodies (AE1 and AE3) revealed 4 micrometastases in 739 originally histopathologically negative lymph nodes in 3 of 13 patients studied. Because of the unknown prognostic significance of micrometastases and the consequent arbitrary consequences for postoperative treatment, present findings show that the extra workload of immunostaining and deeper sectioning does not warrant their routine use in clinical practise.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Whereas most patients with benign lymphoepithelial lesion suffer from the involvement of a major salivary gland a number evolve into a clinical form of Sjögren's syndrome or Mikulicz's disease. In a small number development of malignant lymphomas, especially non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, have been described. Therefore, regular follow-up and appropriate histological evaluation of suspected areas in all patients with a benign lymphoepithelial lesion is indicated. Histologically, diagnosis of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may be difficult. Demonstration of a cell pattern, monoclonal for cytoplasmic Ig by means of the immunoperoxidase technique may facilitate the diagnosis. In this report we present the history of two cases out of our series with benign lymphoepithelial lesion who developed a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Während bei den meisten Patienten eine gutartige lymphoepitheliale Veränderung von einer der großen Speicheldrüsen ausgeht, kann ein Teil im Rahmen eines Sjögren-Syndroms oder einer Mikulicz-Erkrankung entstehen. In einigen Fällen wurde die Entwicklung eines malignen Lymphomes, besonders als Non-Hodgkin-Malignom beschrieben. Deshalb ist eine eingehende histologische Untersuchung jeder benignen lymphoepithelialen Veränderung zwingend. Dabei trägt die Darstellung der zytoplasmatischen Ig mittels der Immunoperoxidase-Technik zur Diagnosestellung bei. Bericht über zwei Fälle mit benignen lymphoepithelialen Veränderungen, die im Sinne eines Non-Hodgkin-Malignoms maligne entarteten.
