ABSTRACT
This paper describes an unusual malignant mixed tumor of the bronchus arising in a 71-yr-old male and provides evidence of an epithelial-myoepithelial origin based on the findings on light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The neoplasm contained elements of recognizable benign tumor resembling salivary gland-type pleomorphic adenoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, and a spindle-cell sarcomatous component. Immunohistochemical stains showed the characteristic relationship between epithelial and myoepithelial cells in the benign component of the neoplasm. In addition, the spindle cells stained for myoepithelial markers (S-100 protein and actin) but were also positive for keratin (AE1/AE3). The relationship of this neoplasm to classical carcinosarcoma and the recently described adenosquamous carcinoma with amyloid-like stroma is discussed.

We have cleaved phage Mu DNA with restriction endonucleases EcoRI and BamHI and have cloned three specific DNA fragments from the middle of the Mu genome into vector plasmid pBR322. By marker rescue experiments, we have determined that the two BamHI cleavage sites in Mu DNA occur within cistrons E and F.

We measured anterior chamber depth and axial length in 200 human eyes with the Echo-Oculometer and the Digital Biometric Ruler. There was good agreement between measurements with the two instruments. The echo-Oculometer is much less expensive than any other instrument available for measuring ocular axial length and satisfactorily provides information for calculation of power of intraocular lenses.
