Destructive bone lesions in primary amyloidosis.

Destructive bone lesions in primary amyloidosis.

We describe a patient with primary amyloidosis in whom multiple osteolytic lesions caused by amyloid bone tumours developed, and review the clinical features of the 18 cases with primary amyloidosis in whom destructive bone lesions have been reported. In contrast to amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma, destructive lesions in the primary disease are mainly located to long bones; joint i...

Destructive lesions in demyelinating disease.

Three cases are presented in which clinical and radiological features suggested the diagnosis of glioma but surgical biopsy revealed a demyelinating process, with tissue destruction and cyst formation in two. One patient had clinically definite multiple sclerosis. Two had probable acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Treatment with high dose steroids is appropriate when there is clinical or in...

Primary amyloidosis.

Prematurity, postmaturity, and destructive lesions in utero.

Central nervous system (CNS) lesions resulting from hypoxia-ischemia (H-1) during gestation and the perinatal period, and from intrapartum trauma form the subjects of this review. Whereas mechanical factors are primarily responsible for the traumatic lesions, a wide spectrum of complex physiologic disturbances and pathologic sequelae are associated with H-1. CNS damage most commonly occurs amon...
