    Notes: Abstract  Systemic mastocytosis is a rare condition characterized clinically by the local consequences of vasoactive peptides released from infiltrating mast cells in the reticuloendothelial tissues. Mast cells originate from the pluripotent bone marrow stem cells; it is therefore not surprising that myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic disorders commonly coexist or terminate the clinical phase of mastocytosis. We report here, to our knowledge, the first case of Hodgkin's and Castleman's disease occurring in a patient with co-existent systemic mastocytosis, which remained unchanged after combination chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease.

    Notes: Abstract  We report a case of secondary heart involvement in AIDS-related primary lymphoma of the liver. A worsening dyspnea led to the diagnosis of pericardial effusion, and transesophageal echocardiography revealed the presence of large endocardial ventricular masses. Clinical suspicion of a lymphomatous origin was confirmed at the autopsy, which showed an extranodal dissemination pattern (heart, liver, intestine, and lung). In AIDS patients, both primary and secondary lymphomatous heart involvement are increasing in incidence. Clinical symptoms and signs are vague. Since the hematogenous route is the most common pattern of involvement, even extrathoracic lymphomas can present heart dissemination. Thus, it should be suspected in lymphoma patients who present with even mild aspecific heart symptoms. Appropriate imaging procedures include transesophageal echocardiography and, if possible, ECG-gated MRI. A negative transthoracic echocardiograph does not exclude the presence of myocardial tumor. Chemotherapy is only occasionally beneficial, and the prognosis remains poor.

    Description / Table of Contents: Riassunto Lo studio presenta l'analisi della prevalenza dell'isterectomia nel Cantone Ticino per l'anno 1982. Il tasso générale di 507 operazioni ogni 100'000 donne è doppio di quello registrato nella regione del West Midlands in Gran Bretagna (P〈0,001). Non si riscontra invece una differenza statisticamente significativa nei tassi di mortalità e di morbilità per tumori del corpo e del collo dell'utero.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Studie zeigt die Ergebnisse der Analyse über die Prävalenz der Hysterektomie im Kanton Tessin. Insgesamt wurde im Jahr 1982 eine Operationshäufigkeit von 507 Operationen auf 100'000 Frauen gefunden, d.h. das Doppelte wie in Grossbritanien (Pš0,001). Im Vergleich kann jedoch kein significanter Unterschied in Mortalität und Morbidität an Krebs des Cervix-und Corpus uteri festgestellt werden.
    Notes: Summary The study presents an analysis of the prevalence of hysterectomy during the year 1982 in Canton Ticino, where the rate (507) per 100'000 women is double that found in the West Midlands area of Great Britain (P〈0,001). No statisticaly significant difference is found in the mortality rate or morbidity rate for tumour of the cervix and body of the uterus.
