Carcinomatous Urethritis

Carcinomatous abscess of the lung.

or tuberculous cavities has prompted us to review all the cases of neoplastic abscess seen in the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Regional Thoracic Surgery Centre over the last 12 years. From 1940 to 1951 70 cases of neoplastic abscess were admitted to the clinic, and this paper reports the results of our study of these cases and discusses the main problems encountered in diagnosis. Our criterion in select...

Lymphatic obstruction in carcinomatous ascites.

The i.p. inoculation of C3H mice with 5 times 10-6 cells of a transplantable ovarian carcinoma invariably evokes accumulation of large amounts of ascitic fluid. Histological and pharmacotherapeutic studies indicate that obstruction to peritoneal lymphatic drainage is a key factor in the formation of carcinomatous ascites in this model. In the early stages of ascites formation, an intense inflam...

Carcinomatous lymphangitis mimicking pulmonary thromboembolism.

A 41-year-old woman was admitted with rapidly worsening dyspnea. Echocardiography disclosed interventricular septal flattening and a markedly decreased left ventricle, although left ventricular contraction remained normal. Computed tomography of the chest demonstrated slightly dilated main pulmonary arteries and fine reticulonodular densities in the lung. Examination of a transbronchial lung bi...

Non-specific urethritis.

Asymptomatic non-specific urethritis.

Non-specific urethritis is without doubt the commonest form of urethritis in men. The reported figures of cases of non-gonococcal urethritis for England and Wales, since they were first recorded separately in 1951, have steadily increased from 10,794 to 35,721 in 1968 (Department of Health and Social Security, 1969). The majority of these cases of non-gonococcal urethritis are non-specific in n...
