Abstract
Biliary papillomatosis is a rare entity characterized by multiple papillary adenomas involving extensive areas of the biliary tract with a great potential for recurrence and malignant transformation. It has been reported in association with Caroli disease and a choledochal cyst. We report herein a case of malignant intrahepatic biliary papillomatosis associated with cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the use of a dedicated renal-bladder sonogram for the detection and follow-up of primary nonsarcomatous bladder tumors in children. METHODS Three children (aged 6 to 12 years) recently presented with nontraumatic gross painless hematuria. All were evaluated initially with renal-bladder sonography. RESULTS Two transitional cell papillomas and one inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor were easily detected initially by sonography in the 3 children. Two were treated with transurethral resection at the time of the confirmatory cystoscopy and one, with an endoscopically unresectable tumor, was treated with excisional biopsy. The use of sonography as the diagnostic tool obviated more invasive and expensive studies, as well as exposure to ionizing radiation. CONCLUSIONS Renal-bladder sonography is the initial imaging modality of choice in the workup for nontraumatic gross painless hematuria in children. Not only is it an excellent screening tool for congenital malformations and renal calculi, it is also very sensitive for identifying primary bladder tumors in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroadenoma, one of the most common benign breast lesions, has a characteristic age-specific incidence and is associated with other pathological entities in 50% of cases. The clinical or imaging diagnosis of fibroadenoma may be erroneous, and in some cases is found to be invasive cancer. The clustering of such entities, their correlation with age, and the risk of synchronous breast malignancy are uncertain. OBJECTIVE To explore the possibility of any significant clustering of fibroadenoma-associated benign breast diseases and to assess the possible risk of concomitant breast cancer. METHODS We analyzed the pathological results of 147 women undergoing excisional biopsies for fibroadenoma diagnosed pre-operatively either by clinical examination and imaging (n = 17) or by radiology alone (n = 30). The inter-relationships among all entities associated with fibroadenoma were studied by hierarchical cluster analysis. The correlation of the various pathologies with the risk of invasive breast cancer in relation to the patient's age was also evaluated. RESULTS Fibroadenoma-associated pathologies were found in 48% of the cases: sclerosing adenosis (23%), duct ectasia (17.7%), apocrine metaplasia (15.6%), florid fibrocystic disease (12.9%), duct papillomatosis (11.6%), infiltrating duct carcinoma (5.4%), duct carcinoma in situ (3.4%), and 1 case of lobular carcinoma in situ (0.6%). An orderly internal hierarchy and three significant clusters emerged: a) epithelial apocrine metaplasia, duct ectasia and sclerosing adenosis (similarity coefficients 16.0, 11.0 and 8.0 respectively); b) papillomatosis, florid fibrocystic disease and calcifications (similarity coefficients of 6.0, 4.0 and 2.0 respectively); and c) infiltrating duct carcinoma and duct carcinoma in situ (similarity coefficients of 1.8 and 1.6 respectively). Seven of the eight patients with breast cancer were older than 40 years. CONCLUSIONS In about half of the cases fibroadenoma was associated with other pathological entities clustered in an orderly hierarchy. The rarity of synchronous breast cancer in the younger age group and its more common association with fibroadenoma in the older age groups dictate a different approach to each. The finding of fibroadenoma in women older than 40 indicates the need for surgical excision.

Abstract
Biliary papillomatosis is a rare disease characterized by multiple papillary proliferation of the epithelial cell of the bile duct. Because it has a tendency to be recurrent, the treatment strategy is choledochoscopic laser therapy. A patient with biliary papillomatosis treated by choledochoscopic laser therapy, which was complicated by massive haemobilia and shock, is presented. An intrahepatic artery pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed on angiography. A coexisting occlusion necessitated a superselective embolization of the pseudoaneurysm in order to avoid devascularization of the left lobe of the liver.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Tumors of the choroid plexus are rare tumors of neuro ectodermal origin, accounting for less 1% of intracranial tumors in all ages. Most cases present in children less than 2 years of age. These tumors have been classified according to histopathological criteria into papilloma and carcinoma. DEVELOPMENT We review the epidemiological, clinical, neuropathological details, neuroradiological aspects and treatment of choroid plexus tumors. CONCLUSIONS Choroid plexus tumors may present with overt intracranial hypertension with or without focal neurological signs. In the adult population, headaches are the most commonly encountered symptom. The CT characteristics of CPT are well characterized. On non enhanced studies the tumor appears as a smooth or lobulated mass, hyperdense in relation to surrounding brain parenchyma. With intravenous contrast, there is marked, homogeneous enhancement. With MRI these tumors showed an iso intensity in T1 weighted images and iso hypo intensity in T2 weighted images, with marked enhancement after gadolinium. The treatment of choice is total surgical excision with minimal damage to the surrounding neural elements. For carcinomas, adjuvant treatment in the form of chemotherapy supplemented by radiation therapy in older children.

Abstract
AIM Biliary papillomatosis is characterized by papillary proliferations of biliary lining cells without invasion or metastasis. The neoplastic character and biological behaviour of this disease remain still speculative. These issues were examined in this study. METHODS AND RESULTS Mucin core protein MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC5AC and carbohydrate antigens (T, Tn and sialosyl Tn) were immunohistochemically examined, using 11 lesions of biliary papillomatosis from seven patients, and five lesions of biliary papillomatosis with foci of carcinoma from four patients. Five cases of papillary intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and 12 histologically normal livers were used as a control. Patients with biliary papillomatosis alone or with carcinoma were middle-aged or elderly (five men and six women). Microscopically, biliary papillomatosis showed a villous, papillo-tubular, papillary, or papillo-villous pattern with a thin fibrovascular core. Cytologically, they were classifiable into biliary epithelial or pyloric gland-like type. The former was frequent in the cases associated with carcinoma. Expression of MUC1, Tn antigen and sialosyl Tn antigen was frequent and marked in biliary papillomatosis alone and with carcinoma and also intrahepatic papillary carcinoma. In addition, marked expression of MUC1 and Tn antigen were rather frequent in biliary papillomatosis with carcinoma and intrahepatic biliary papillary carcinoma compared with biliary papillomatosis. MUC2 was rather frequent and marked in biliary papillomatosis alone compared to other two disease groups. Focal expression of MUC5AC and MUC2 was rather frequent and infrequent irrespective of disease group, respectively. Focal expression of T antigen was frequent in papillary ICC. CONCLUSION Biliary papillomatosis could undergo overt malignant transformation along with altered phenotypic expression of MUC proteins and mucin carbohydrate antigens.

Abstract
Laryngeal papillomatosis in infants and children is a benign condition, but the location and a marked tendency for recurrence makes the disease both dangerous and troublesome. This case report deals with a little girl who had suffered hoarseness and wheezing since she was born. The diagnosis of laryngeal papillomatosis was made when she was 17 months old. By that time, the tumour had reached a size that necessitated a tracheotomy to secure the airway. The symptoms and differential diagnoses are discussed, and it is stressed that chronic hoarseness and wheezing sounds in infants and children should make a doctor suspect laryngeal papillomatosis. Laser treatment and anaesthetic management of small children with a compromised airway are discussed. As tracheal intubations and tracheotomy increase the risk of the disease spreading to the trachea and bronchi, an example is given of treating laryngeal papillomatosis with potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser, using a laryngeal mask as an airway to avoid tracheal intubation. Whether this procedure can reduce the need to perform a tracheotomy in some of these small patients remains to be seen.

Abstract
A clinicopathologic case of an 80-year-old male patient with a single cutaneous tumor on the upper part of the left eyelid is reported. It was a grayish and pigmented mass covered with a thick keratin layer, well circumscribed, and exophytic. After surgical removal, histopathology showed that the tumor had a papillomatous pattern and was growing under a thick layer of hyperkeratosis. It was a typical squamous cell papilloma. This tumor belongs to the benign eyelid tumor group and can be found on the eyelids of elderly people.

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to describe the changes in acoustic analysis in diagnosing voice disorders in children. The secondary goal was the attempt at differentiation of organic and functional disorders by means of acoustic analysis. The study included 112 children in treated due to laryngeal papilloma, gastro-esophageal reflux, atopic disease and noduli vocales. The following values have been determined: basic frequency F(o), jitter, shimmer, F(o) tremor and the harmonics to noise ratio (HNR). The study results confirmed that the HNR value was the most sensitive indicator of changes in the voice organ.

Abstract
For 15 years the authors treated 205 children aged 9 months to 15 years with respiratory papillomatosis. Besides surgical endolaryngeal removal of the papillomas, they applied immunomodulators, plasmapheresis and antiviral drugs. Of different methods of artificial lung ventilation, the best is thought to be transcatheter high-frequency artificial lung ventilation. As shown by the studies of infection resistance, the combined treatment should incorporate such drugs as zovirax and leukomax. Ultrasound disintegration and laser photodestruction with Ho laser were introduced in surgical removal of the papillomas. The combined treatment shortens the treatment duration and prolongs recurrence-free period.

Abstract
Formation of neutralizing antibodies (NAB) to alpha-interferon (aINF) was assessed in the reaction of antiviral activity neutralization in 36 children with severe juvenile respiratory papillomatosis (JRP). Surgical removal of papillomas was combined with administration of recombinant aINF preparations (reaferon, intron A, viferon). High and moderate neutralizing activity was determined in 22 (61.1%) patients. 7, 2 and 13 of them received reaferon, intron A and viferon, respectively. NAB were not registered in the rest 14 (38.9%) patients. The frequency of NAB formation was not related to the preparation used, only in the group on reaferon it was insignificantly higher. It was found that the highest response to therapy occurred in children with low NAB titer (8 of 12 children, 66.7%), while children with high NAB titer (3 of 4 children, 75%) did not respond.

Abstract
We describe a case of solitary papilloma of the bronchus and provide a review of 38 similar cases reported in Japan. A 70-year-old man complained of cough and sputum. Chest X-rays and CT scans revealed atelectasis of the right middle lobe. On bronchoscopy, a polypoid tumor was found at the orifice of the bronchus of the right middle lobe. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a squamous papilloma with moderate atypia. Because of elevated tumor markers and the reported high incidence of malignant changes in papillomas, the tumor was endoscopically resected by electrosurgical snare. While this procedure resulted in improvement of atelectasis, the chest CT taken subsequently revealed a mass adjacent to the resected polypoid tumor in the middle lobe bronchus. Percutaneous needle biopsy followed by histopathological examination confirmed the tumor to be a squamous cell carcinoma. Only three cases of malignant changes in papillomas have been previously reported in Japan. Electrosurgical snare, which allows the identification of tissue at the tumor base, should be the treatment of choice rather than YAG laser surgery.

Abstract
This report details four patients who had skin tags, mainly on their torso, neck, and axillae, and who also displayed an abnormal lipid profile. All showed an increased serum triglyceride (fasting > 1.70 mmol/litre) and a decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (< 1.1 mmol/litre in women and 1.0 mmol/litre for men) concentration. The displayed lipid profile is also known as the atherogenic profile and is associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Two of the patients had impaired glucose tolerance and one had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Three of the individuals had coronary artery disease. Skin tags might be a useful clinical sign that could alert clinicians to screen such individuals for abnormal lipids, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Cidofovir, a nucleoside analog antiviral agent, has been used with moderate success in the treatment of juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis (JLP) by direct intralesional injection. We report the first case where IV cidofovir was used successfully to treat a rare but lethal multicystic lung disease complicating JLP. A 35-year-old woman with a history of JLP requiring multiple laser ablations of laryngeal papillomata each year presented with hemoptysis and was found on CT scan to have bilateral, multiple pulmonary nodules and cysts. The results of BAL fluid analysis demonstrated no evidence of malignancy, and cultures were negative for fungi and mycobacteria. Molecular DNA typing of a biopsy specimen obtained from a laryngeal papilloma confirmed infection with human papilloma virus type 11. She received 12 months of treatment with IV cidofovir followed by 9 months of combined treatmentwith IV cidofovir and subcutaneous interferon-alpha-2A. This therapeutic regime resulted in a markedly decreased requirement for surgical removal of laryngeal papillomata, and CT scanning documented the regression of the lesions in the lung parenchyma that persisted after the discontinuation of therapy. The results of this case demonstrate that cidofovir may be used successfully to treat JLP-related lung disease and suggest that further studies are warranted.

Abstract
Endobronchial and pulmonary dissemination reportedly occurs in 5% of patients with laryngeal papillomatosis. It is more frequently observed in the juvenile form, and carries significant implications for treatment. In this study, we review our experiences with pulmonary and endobronchial extension of laryngeal papillomatosis. The records of the 52 patients with laryngeal papillomas treated at our institution since 1980 were reviewed. Twenty-nine percent of the patients (N = 15) developed tracheobronchial extension; 7% (N = 4) demonstrated pulmonary involvement. The birth history, race, sex, age at onset of symptoms, presenting symptoms, site and type of papillomas, surgical procedures, other methods of treatment, complications, and mortality data were analyzed. Eighty percent of the patients with tracheobronchial involvement were born to mothers with a positive history of vaginal condylomas. Pulmonary changes in 4 patients were observed on either chest radiographs or computed tomography and were manifested as multiple parenchymal nodules in 3 of the 4 patients. Pneumatoceles, cavitary empyema, and multiple recurrent pneumonias were the predominant complications of pulmonary involvement. Of the 15 patients with tracheobronchial extension, 80% (N = 12) required tracheotomy before their presentation to us. The number of multiple surgical procedures performed to remove papillomas ranged from 7 procedures in 1 patient with a solitary tracheobronchial lesion to more than 100 procedures in 2 patients with diffuse bronchopulmonary papillomatosis. As our study shows, tracheobronchial involvement continues to complicate surgical treatment in this challenging disease process.

Abstract
We treated a patient with a giant squamous papilloma in the nasal cavity and maxillary sinus that extended through a bony defect into the oral cavity. The mass was excised with a combined endoscopic, Caldwell-Luc, and transoral approach. Lesions of this type are rare, but when they do occur, the rate of recurrence is high. Therefore, long-term followup, including endoscopic examination, is important.

Abstract
Laryngoceles represent dilatations of the laryngeal saccule that may extend internally into the airway, or externally through the thyrohyoid membrane. Unilateral laryngoceles are uncommon clinical entities and bilateral laryngoceles are rare. Certain activities like glass blowing and playing a wind instrument are associated with laryngocele development, as is laryngeal carcinoma in the ventricular area. This case describes development of bilateral laryngoceles in a patient who chronically uses ventricular phonation during speech. The pathogenesis involves repetitive elevation of intralaryngeal pressure during false vocal cord approximation, exposing the ventricles to abnormally high air pressures. The pathogenesis in this case, as well as in laryngoceles associated with occupational or anatomic risk factors, is discussed.

Abstract
This is the report of an 80-year-old patient with diffuse brownish hyperpigmentation and velvety thickening of the skin with onset 1 year before. Warty lesions on his limbs were present as well as papillomatous and verrucous lesions on his lips, mouth and eyelid conjunctivae with hyperkeratosis of the nipples. Biopsies, performed at different sites, showed histological pictures consistent with a diagnosis of acanthosis nigricans (AN) with florid cutaneous and mucosal papillomatosis. This type of AN is frequently associated with internal malignancy. In our patient serum levels of tissue polypeptide antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, cytokeratin fragment and squamous cell carcinoma antigen were high and chest computed tomography scan indicated a large tumour infiltrating the right lung and extending to the mediastinum. Cytological examination of bronchial drainage revealed the presence of neoplastic cells, non-small cell type carcinoma. The most frequent cancer associated with malignant AN is gastric adenocarcinoma. Lung tumour has rarely been reported with AN. Malignant AN is sometimes associated with other cutaneous and mucosal warty lesions, as in our patient. These various skin and mucosal lesions are the expression of a systemic epithelial disorder and may help clinicians to suspect a malignant form of AN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To the authors' knowledge, there is no previous report of squamous papilloma of the urinary tract. It is uncertain whether there is a correlation between squamous papilloma, condyloma acuminatum, and verrucous carcinoma. METHODS The authors evaluated the clinical and pathologic features of squamous papilloma (5 of the bladder, 2 of the urethra), condyloma acuminatum (3 cases), and verrucous carcinoma (3 cases) of the urinary bladder and performed human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in situ hybridization studies to determine whether HPV was a common feature shared by these lesions. In addition, DNA ploidy evaluation by image cytometry and p53 immunohistochemical staining were performed. RESULTS Squamous papilloma of the urinary tract occurred in elderly women and followed a benign clinical course with infrequent recurrence. All squamous papillomas were HPV DNA negative and DNA diploid with no or minimal p53 nuclear accumulation. Condyloma acuminata of the bladder contained HPV DNA, increased p53 protein expression, and aneuploid DNA content. All three cases of condyloma acuminata were associated with coexistent condylomata of the external genitalia, and two required pelvic exenteration for uncontrolled expansile growth. Verrucous carcinoma of the bladder occurred in elderly patients. All three cases of verrucous carcinoma were negative for HPV DNA and DNA aneuploid, and they exhibited consistent p53 expression. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that squamous papilloma is a distinct entity not related to condyloma or verrucous carcinoma. These lesions are benign, HPV DNA negative, DNA diploid, and they lack p53 overaccumulation.

Abstract
Twenty-six adult patients attending the Royal National Throat, Nose, and Ear Hospital with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis completed two postal questionnaires. One was the generic Short Form-36 (SF-36) quality of life instrument. Severely affected patients had lower scores in all dimensions of this instrument, with large differences from normal controls in dimensions of pain, physical limitation, and energy/vitality. The second questionnaire was newly devised, and designed to ask about a wide variety of larynx-specific symptoms. Answers by patients were compared with those of normal controls, and symptoms selected as significantly more likely to be reported by patients were studied further. Correlation was seen with clinical parameters, and questions likely to be responsive to clinical change in disease burden were identified.

Abstract
A 14-year-old girl with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz-Gorlin-syndrome) presented with dysphagia, hoarseness, inspiratory stridor, intermittent dry cough and a 10% weight loss. Endoscopy showed that these symptoms were caused by papillomatosis of the hypopharynx and the larynx. The papillomatous masses were resected subtotally by endoscopic laser treatment. Residual papillomas were left in the subglottic space but tracheotomy could be avoided. Complete clinical recovery with adequate weight gain as well as, resolution of dyspnoe and dysphagia resulted after the intervention. Histological examination did not show morphological signs of human papilloma virus as an etiological agent.

Abstract
Upper airway obstruction, regardless of cause, can masquerade or be misdiagnosed as lower airway disease in children. In such cases, therapeutic trials of antibiotics, bronchodilators, and over-the-counter medications for symptom relief routinely fail; however, the original diagnosis often goes unchallenged. If the obstructive process is progressive, then acute occlusion of the airway may occur, rapidly leading to suffocation and death if resuscitation is unsuccessful. Outlined in this report is the case of a young female with a history of asthma, poorly responsive to outpatient treatment, who presented with respiratory arrest. The cause of the respiratory collapse was later identified as a large laryngeal papilloma, a condition rarely encountered by emergency physicians.

Abstract
We report on a 12-year-old boy with Costello syndrome born to consanguineous (first cousins once removed) parents, supporting the hypothesis of recessive transmission of this syndrome. At age 11 years, the patient developed a bladder carcinoma, a rare pediatric tumor not previously described in Costello syndrome. This suggests that an increased risk of malignancy may be part of this condition.

Abstract
A single-subject design was used to determine if inspiratory pressure threshold training increases inspiratory muscle strength and reduces the sensation of dyspnea during exercise and speech. The subject was a 23-year-old female with congenital juvenile papilloma which has been in remission for 10 years. A 4-week inspiratory muscle training program was implemented using an inspiratory pressure threshold trainer. The pressure threshold of the trainer was set by the experimenter. The pressure threshold setting of the trainer was based on a percentage of the subject's maximum inspiratory pressure measured prior to training. The average range of the pressure threshold was 40 to 70 cmH2O. In order for inspiratory air to flow, the subject generated inspiratory pressure, independent of airflow rate. Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) was the dependent variable used as the index of inspiratory muscle strength. Exercise dyspnea was a dependent variable rated by the subject during a progressive treadmill test. Dyspnea associated with speech was rated following production of a comfortable and loud speech task. MIP increased by 57% following the training program with a 2-scale point reduction in the perception of dyspnea during exercise. Dyspnea during loud speech decreased from moderate to mild. The changes in dyspnea, both during exercise and speech, are directly related to inspiratory muscle strengthening. The results suggest that inspiratory muscle training may improve respiratory related function in patients with restrictive upper airway disorders.

Abstract
We describe the anaesthetic management of a patient with acromegaly scheduled for transsphenoidal resection of a pituitary tumour who was found at intubation to have coexisting laryngeal papillomatosis. Oral intubation was impossible using both direct and fibreoptic techniques. Nasal fibreoptic intubation was successful but precluded the transsphenoidal approach to surgery. A Cook Airway Exchange Catheter [Cook (UK) Ltd, Monroe House, Letchworth SG6 1LN] was used with a Negus bronchoscope to convert to oral intubation and allow completion of surgery without resort to tracheostomy.

Abstract
Papillomatosis arising from the biliary tree is a well recognized but rare entity. We encountered two patients with this condition. However, one of them had associated hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis and the other had concomitant recurrent pyogenic cholangitis. To our knowledge, these associations have not been reported before. We, therefore, present these clinical problems and highlight the added difficulty in the management of these patients.

Abstract
We report a case of mucin-producing biliary papillomatosis in a 78-year-old woman. Abdominal ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) showed wall thickening and dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD), as well as a nodular lesion, 1.2 cm in diameter, in the left branch of the IHBD. Gastric endoscopy revealed excretion of bile-containing mucin on the anterior wall of the body of the stomach. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed gastrobiliary fistula and discharge of mucin into the stomach. Needle biopsy of the biliary tumor revealed papillary proliferation, but no malignant cells were recognized histologically. Therefore this patient was diagnosed as having mucin-producing biliary papillomatosis forming gastrobiliary fistula. She did not present with obstructive jaundice, probably because of the fistula. She is alive, without obstructive jaundice, 16 months after the diagnosis without having had surgery. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of biliary papillomatosis forming gastrobiliary fistula and with the patient free of obstructive jaundice.

Abstract
We previously reported that papillomas can arise from the follicular epithelium of v-Ha-ras transgenic TGxAC mice. Since the viable-yellow mutation (A(vy)) of the mouse agouti gene which regulates coat color pigmentation by acting within the micro-environment of the hair follicle has been shown to function as a tumor promoter in the liver, we hypothesized that it may also play a role in TGxAC skin tumorigenesis. Endogenous agouti protein product was detected in the outer root sheath of anagen hair follicles following plucking of the hair shaft, but not in the interfollicular epithelium, in TGxAC mice on an FVB/N genetic background. It was also detected in papillomas from these mice produced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment or plucking. Expression of the A(vy) allele in the v-Ha-ras transgenic TGxAC mouse line results in an approximately 2-fold increase in papilloma development compared with controls which did not carry the A(vy) allele following twice-weekly treatment with 1.25, 2.5 or 5.0 microg TPA. In addition, TPA-treated, papilloma-bearing F1 mice which carried the A(vy) allele, but not F1 mice which did not carry the A(vy) allele, exhibited a syndrome of humoral hypercalcemia mediated by parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) that led to weight loss, hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia. Thus, we conclude that the A(vy) allele can influence the development of skin tumors and PTHrP-mediated humoral hypercalcemia in v-Ha-ras transgenic TGxAC mice.

Abstract
We describe three children ages 20 to 33 months who presented for surgical resection of their laryngeal papillomata. Their anaesthetic management revealed the severity of obstruction which these children presented and the obstacles that faced the anaesthesiologist trying to secure the airway and provide adequate ventilation. The airway obstruction had both a fixed and a dynamic component to it. This was evidenced by the ability of the children to maintain ventilation when spontaneously breathing. But, they exhibited total obstruction when ventilation was attempted via mask using positive pressure. It is possible to encounter obstruction to ventilation after the trachea has been intubated because of papillomata that were 'shaved off,' filling the tracheal tube lumen.

Abstract
Before the notorious increase of congenital malformations among individuals belonging to rurality, which are faced to yield between watering by sprinklers with weed-killers and the alarming growth of cardiovascular and pre--and malignant diseases we decided to undertake a perusal among the agents regarded since ever as bias toward to those pathologies. Following that conception we found out a common tendency between malnutrition, diabetes, alcoholism, drug-addiction, weed-killers, and so on. The whole group generate energy reduction (ATP) starting from which appears a biochemical complex competent to give way to any cardiovascular pathology, autoimmune maladies or even congenital malformations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of fungal infection in biopsies of oral mucosal lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Histopathology reports issued between 1991-1995 inclusive were reviewed. During this period, a single section of each mucosal biopsy had been stained using the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) technique. RESULTS A total of 223 (4.7%) biopsies contained PAS-positive fungi: 191 individuals were affected, 124 (64.9%) of whom were male. There was a significant (P < 0.01) positive association of fungal infection with moderate and severe epithelial dysplasia, median rhomboid glossitis and squamous papillomas. Where a subsequent biopsy was available, 21.9% dysplasias which were infected with fungi worsened in histological severity, as compared with 7.6% of dysplasias which were not infected at any stage. There was a significant negative association of fungal infection with benign fibrous overgrowths (P < 0.01), benign hyperkeratoses, lichenoid reactions and pyogenic granulomas (P < 0.05). The difference in frequency of infection between the tongue and other sites was also significantly higher (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS There is a statistically significant association between histologically-determined fungal infection and epithelial dysplasia, and we recommend that a PAS stain be performed whenever oral epithelial dysplasia is diagnosed, especially in male patients. On histological confirmation of dysplasia, anti-fungal therapy should be considered in the management of these lesions.

Abstract
We encountered a patient with Lhermitte-Duclos disease accompanied by Cowden disease, the second reported in Japan. The histological findings are described in detail. It is important to suspect Cowden disease in patients with Lhermitte-Duclos disease. Although Cowden disease is little known, making the diagnosis is very important, because cancer frequently occurs in the patient's family and genetic counseling is necessary.

Abstract
We present a study made during 4 years (1992-1996), which pursued the underlining of the atypical intraductal hiperplasias (A.I.D.H.) lesions, met isolated or in the association with mamar carcinoma. Our study included a 188 number of the breast tumors, among: in the 23 cases we established the existence of the modification by the A.I.D.H, type at the fibrocystics disease associated or not with the other benign diseases of the breast (fibroadenosis, intraductal papiloma) and in the 63 cases there were the modification by the AIDH associated with in situ or invasiv carcinoma. Epithelial hyperplasia is frequently associated with the fibrocystic changes, being included in the category of fibrocystic or proliferating modifications. The synonymous terms used for the epithelial hyperplasia are the hiperplazia ductala, or the epitelioza, or the papilomatosis The last two are suggested by the proliferation possibility (papillary or linear) of the epithelial or the mio-epithelial cells. Regardless of the microscopic aspect of the lesion, that should be acknowledged and treated as it is, due to the increased risk of the development of a carcinoma later on, and also due to the ratio of association between the modification and the mammary carcinoma. The risk of occurrence of subsequent carcinoma is augmented in the presence of the epithelial atipii and also increases in the presence of a mammary carcinoma at the relatives of the first rank (1.3). In this context, the importance of the differential diagnosis between the simple intraductal hyperplasia and the atypical one, the difficulty of differentiation from intraductal carcinoma in some cases, and finally the association with an increased risk of subsequent occurrence of carcinoma, constitute into sufficient arguments to consider this topic separately.
