Three patients with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related complex and lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia are reported. All patients presented with progressive dyspnea, nonproductive cough, fever, anorexia, weight loss, and arterial hypoxemia. Chest roentgenograms exhibited bilateral diffuse reticular-nodular densities. The diagnosis of lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia...

Pituitary apoplexy has been recognised much more frequently since the introduction of CT and MRI scanning. Lymphocytic hypophysitis has been increasingly diagnosed in recent years. A case of pituitary apoplexy occurring in a patient with lymphocytic hypophysitis as part of a polyglandular syndrome is reported. This combination does not appear to have been previously reported. The pituitary haem...

with Acridine Orange By DAvID M. JOHNSON, PEYTON T. PIiArr AND PEnnY G. RuGBY I HE IMPORTANCE OF lymphocytic RNA in immune function has received widespread attention in recent years.’ A case in point is the work of Mannick and Egdahl showing that adoptive immunity can be transferred from one animal to another by means of lymphocytic RNA.2 The RNA of the lymphocyte can be evaluated and compared ...

Autoimmune lymphocytic infiltration of the pituitary gland is rare. In the five previously reported cases [1-5], there was c linical evidence of hypopituitarism but the diagnosis of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis was made only by postmortem examination of the pituitary gland . I describe a case of lymphocytic adenohypophysitis in a young , multiparous woman who had clinical features of a prolact...

Four cases of well differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma with or without plasmacytoid differentiation of the lung are described. Two cases were single and the others were multiple. Histologic pictures of the lesion showed mass with perivascular, interstitial and alveolar extension in three cases and only interstitial and perivascular involvement in one. Histologically three cases were lymphoplasm...

The presence of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) has been determined in neoplastic cells from 50 patients with non-hematologic tumors as well as neoplastic cells from 85 patients with hematologic malignancies. The results indicate that TdT is not present in cells from non-hematologic tumors, Hodgkin's lymphoma, B cell lymphoproliferative disorders, peripheral T cell neoplasms, reacti...

A 61-year-old man presented with central lymphocytic hypophysitis. Initial pituitary MRI imaging was normal, except for loss of the "bright spot" of the posterior lobe. A diagnosis of idiopathic diabetes insipidus was made. Two years later, pituitary gland enlargement with panhypopituitarism was detected. Eight months after commencing a replacement dose of corticosteroid, the pituitary enlargem...
