ABSTRACT
The modern methods of diagnosis were analysed in 19 patients with chemodectoma of vagal glomus verified surgically and morphologically. The cytological investigation of the tumour punctates was made in 9 patients, ultrasonic introscopy in 2, computer tomography in 13 and arteriography in 17 patients. The informativeness of cytological and ultrasonic studies is low, whereas computer tomography and carotid arteriography are regarded as the method of choice for diagnosis and assessment of vagal chemodectoma prevalence.

Multicentric breast carcinoma was identified in 3.7% of 119 patients operated on at the Center Clinics. A slow growth, small size of tumors and infrequent lesions in the regional lymph nodes were registered. A correlation between the degree of malignancy and the number of tumor nodes in breast tissues was established. The best end results--a survival rate of 16.8% at 10 years--were obtained after radical mastectomies. A classification of multicentric breast cancers is suggested.
