Blood expectoration or hemoptysis is the coughing up of sputum with blood from the larynx, bronchi or lungs. Hemoptysis is most often caused by diseases of the respiratory tract and lungs — bronchitis or pneumonia, as well as lung cancer, aspergilloma, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary embolism, etc. In the diagnostic investigation of the cause of hemoptysis, it is important to take a detailed history (in the case of an epidemiological history, a laboratory analysis of the secreted sputum for the detection of the causative agent of an infectious disease is necessary), to make the correct interpretation of the patient’s complaints and an assessment of the nature of the sputum (differential diagnosis with bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract). A chest X-ray is performed and, then, if indicated, computed tomography, bronchoscopy, and other studies are made. The article presents an algorithm for differential diagnostic investigation of hemoptysis in a patient

A 3 year old child with primary hepatocellular carcinoma and high AFP concentrations is described. Following hemihepatectomy, a sharp decrease and return to normal of serum AFP concentrations indicated the completeness of the surgical procedure. Repeat-normal serum AFP concentrations (less than 19 ng/ml), found during a three year follow-up, correlated well with the absence of clinical, laboratory and x-ray evidence of tumor recurrence. The differential diagnosis of abnormal AFP concentrations in childhood is discussed, and the importance of the AFP assay in the follow-up of post-hemihepatectomy patients for the assessment of the completeness of the surgical procedure, the prognosis, and the early detection of tumor recurrence is stressed.

Abstract The study aimed at presenting the most frequent male gonadal tumours in dogs, their clinical and histopathological aspects, at outlining aetiopathogenesis and differential diagnosis of the tumours. As examples of the most frequently manifested testicular tumours, three clinical cases were presented, involving tumour of interstitial (Leydig) cells, tumour of Sertoli cells, and seminoma. Respective clinical diagnosis employed USG, X-ray patterns, and morphological and biochemical tests. The surgically sampled material was stained with H+E and an attempt was made to establish expression of E-cadherin, calretinin, and Ki-67. It was shown that histopathological diagnosis of testicular tumours in dogs is frequently very difficult and complex and requires multidirectional studies.

This case report demonstrates signs of uveitis and difficulties of the differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis as the cause of uveitis. A 57-year-old woman, who had visual loss in her both eyes, developed bilateral panuveitis: bilateral precipitates on the cornea with posterior synechia and infiltrates in the vitreous, and multifocal, peripheral retinochoroiditis. Chest X-ray revealed an infiltrate and numerous smaller granulomas in both lungs. The presumptive diagnosis was tuberculosis, however, biopsy of the pulmonal lesion showed sarcoidosis. Pulmonary and ophthalmologic findings rapidly disappeared with corticosteroid therapy. The author concludes that sarcoidosis may present with different signs of uveitis. Histopathology is of great importance for the differentiation between sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, which is very important for the therapy. Orv. Hetil., 154(45), 1798–1801.
