Disappearance of the specific granules of the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of guinea pigs given intraperitoneal glucose was noted during the subsequent hyperglycemia. The beta granules were again in evidence after the blood sugar reached normal levels. These histological changes, suggesting functional activity of the beta cells, may be related to the secretion of insulin in response to elevation of the blood sugar.
An instance of malignant endothelioma, primary in the aorta, metastasizing to intestine and bone, is reported. The aortic tumor was successfully resected. The unexpected finding of a large hepatic growth at autopsy raised the possibility that the aortic neoplasm was a metastasis. Histochemical, immunologic, and ultrastructural studies supported the diagnosis of an endothelial neoplasm. Although a number of malignant aortic and large vessel tumors have been reported, only four previous instances appear to be endotheliomatous.

Two patients with primary lymphosarcoma of the breast who developed similar lesions in the contralateral breasts after 8 and 10 years, respectively, are reported. An autopsy of one patient failed to reveal lymphosarcoma elsewhere. A review of the literature produced three similar cases with bilaterality. In primary lymphosarcoma of the breast, bilaterality does not appear to worsen chances for survival.
This paper reinterprets the condition previously designated “inflammatory fibroid polyp” of the stomach as the gastric analogue of appendiceal neural hyperplasia (appendiceal neuromas). The histopathologic features of the appendiceal and gastric lesions are analyzed in detail and evidence is presented which indicates their analagous nature. Further evidence in favor of the neural nature of these gastric lesions is proffered by the demonstration within them of abundant neurites. The differences between the gross appearance of the appendiceal and gastric neural proliferations may be explained by their differing sites of origin. The etiology and pathogenesis of gastric neural polyps remains open to question and requires further study of suitable clinical and experimental material.
