A case of Farber lipogranulomatosis.

A 35 month old girl had suffered from painful joint contractures of the whole body since a few months after birth, and she gradually developed numerous periarticular and subcutaneous nodules, hoarseness, swallowing difficulty with recurrent respiratory infections, nystagmus, and mental and developmental retardation. She was misdiagnosed as having juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at several univers...

Diffuse lipogranulomatosis involving soft tissues of the head and neck due to multiple self-injections of mineral oil.

We describe imaging findings of a 45-year-old man with a 6-month history of gradually increasing diffuse swelling of the neck. CT showed diffuse thickening and infiltration of the superficial and deep soft tissues bilaterally. On further investigation of his history, the patient stated that he had injected mineral oil into his neck to clean out his body from drugs. Biopsy results showed multinu...

The Characterization and Localization of Frog Skin Cholinesterase

Frog skin cholinesterase is largely of the serum (pseudocholinesterase) type. For whole skin, the activity at 10(-1) AcChCl is 4.9 microl./mg. N/hr. Tela subcutanea isolated by dissection exhibits an activity of 65 microl./mg. N/hr. at 10(-1) AcChCl. Since about one-tenth of the nitrogen of the skin is located in the tela subcutanea, it is estimated that more than 90 per cent of the enzyme is a...
