RESUMO
376 Nigerian women who presented with histologically proved breast tumour (256 benign and 120 malignant) were admitted to a study of mastalgia and breast tumour. A total of 67 patients, consisting of 57 (22.3%) of 256 benign disease patients and 10 (8.3%) of 120 malignant disease patient had pain, compared to 199 (77.7%) benign and 110 (91.7%) malignant disease patients who had no pain. Mastalgia was more often associated with benign tumour (57 out of 67 or 85%) than malignant neoplasm (15%). Adenosis was the leading cause of mastalgia (15 of 26 patients). Surgical extirpation of breast tumour achieved total pain relief in 85% of the patients, but adenosis patients were least likely to achieve total pain relief.

Testicular tumours are rare in children, and Embryonal cell carcinoma is the commonest. Orchidectomy with high ligation of the cord and lymphadenectomy, with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in different combination have been tried. We report two cases aged 2 months and 9 months treated by only orchidectomy and have remained well 3 years and 15 months respectively after surgery.

Adenocarcinoma arising in the cervix are not common tumors and those arising from mesonephric remnants are extraordinarily rare. A case of mesonephric adenocarcinoma of cervix has been reported in a girl age 1.5 years. This tumor could be diagnosed on the basis of histological examination by criteria laid down by McGee et al. (J Obstet Gynecol 84: 358, 1962) especially on the basis of dilated ducts corresponding to the remnant of mesonephric duct.

In a prospective study of 518 consecutive appendices removed at surgery for symptomatic appendicitis, 32 appendices showed evidence of chronic Schistosoma haematobium appendicitis (a frequency of 6.2%). As the diagnosis can only be confirmed by histology of the removed appendix, the authors believe that in endemic areas chronic S. haematobium appendicitis may not be as rare as the few recorded cases would seem to suggest. Appendiceal mucosal ulceration with chronic inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis of the appendiceal wall leading to chronic appendicitis may be due to intense deposition of ova in the appendix wall, particularly the submucosa, by the adult worm.
