The leiomyoblastoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a tumour which arises from the smooth musculature. With regard to its malignancy it is between leiomyoma on the one hand and leiomyosarcoma on the other. In 12% of the patients the leiomyoblastoma shows a malignant course. Males somewhat more frequently fall ill with leiomyoblastoma than females (ratio 1.3:1). The average age of the patients is 56.6 years. The most impressive clinical symptom is the gastrointestinal haemorrhage. In an own case problems of therapy are discussed. The mere enucleation of the tumour is not enough for cure. The resection of the stomach, at least of the involved part of the stomach, seems to be necessary.

The infarction of the right ventricle as a spatial and temporal mosaic-infarct and the lesions following it were investigated. Its frequency and its connections with the infarction of the left ventricle, coronary sclerosis and hypertrophy of the right ventricle as cor mitrale and cor pulmonale were reported, treated on 11 073 post-mortem examinations of adults separated in males and females. Three groups were divided: 1. isolated lesions of the right ventricle 2. separated lesions--spatially and/or temporally of the right and left ventricle 3. lesions overlapping from the left on the right ventricle. The infarct of the right ventricle respectively cicatrices were observed in 1.2%. The coronary sclerosis was detected in all cases, and specially the hypertrophy of the right ventricle as cor pulmonale or cor mitrale were important for the pathogenesis of right-cardiac infarcts. The pulmonary embolism was more frequent in isolated infarcts of the right ventricle.
