Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure related to cardiac siderosis remains a major cause of death in transfusion dependent anaemias. Replacement fibrosis has been reported as causative of heart failure in siderotic cardiomyopathy in historical reports, but these findings do not accord with the reversible nature of siderotic heart failure achievable with intensive iron chelation. METHODS Ten whole human hearts (9 beta-thalassemia major, 1 sideroblastic anaemia) were examined for iron loading and fibrosis (replacement and interstitial). Five had died from heart failure, 4 had cardiac transplantation for heart failure, and 1 had no heart failure (death from a stroke). Heart samples iron content was measured using atomic emission spectroscopy. Interstitial fibrosis was quantified by computer using picrosirius red (PSR) staining and expressed as collagen volume fraction (CVF) with normal value for left ventricle <3%. RESULTS The 9 hearts affected by heart failure had severe iron loading with very low T2* of 5.0 ± 2.0 ms (iron concentration 8.5 ± 7.0 mg/g dw) and diffuse granular myocardial iron deposition. In none of the 10 hearts was significant macroscopic replacement fibrosis present. In only 2 hearts was interstitial fibrosis present, but with low CVF: in one patient with no cardiac siderosis (death by stroke, CVF 5.9%) and in a heart failure patient (CVF 2%). In the remaining 8 patients, no interstitial fibrosis was seen despite all having severe cardiac siderosis and heart failure (CVF 1.86% ±0.87%). CONCLUSION Replacement cardiac fibrosis was not seen in the 9 post-mortem hearts from patients with severe cardiac siderosis and heart failure leading to death or transplantation, which contrasts markedly to historical reports. Minor interstitial fibrosis was also unusual and very limited in extent. These findings accord with the potential for reversibility of heart failure seen in iron overload cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) and hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor (HFLT) are low-grade neoplasms that share clinicopathologic features and recurring translocation t(1;10)(p22;q24) involving the TGFBR3 and MGEA5 genes. Coexistence of these tumors with a high-grade sarcoma is exceedingly rare and the cytologic features have not been widely described in the literature. CASE A 55-year-old female presented with a soft tissue tumor on the dorsum of the foot. Cytologic smears and corresponding core biopsies were composed of a population of markedly pleomorphic spindle cells seen singly and in loose clusters within a myxofibrous matrix and infiltrating fat, with coarse chromatin, prominent nucleoli, irregular nuclear contours and delicate to vacuolated cytoplasm. Intracytoplasmic hemosiderin granules and rare intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions were identified. The histologic features of the excisional biopsy mirrored those of the cytologic preparations, but also demonstrated cellular foci of higher-grade sarcoma composed of markedly pleomorphic tumor cells with large vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli, exhibiting a mitotic index of 12 mitotic figures per 10 high-powered fields. CONCLUSION While HFLT/PHAT generally can be managed by wide local excision, it is important to be aware of their capacity to harbor higher-grade lesions with metastatic potential which may require more radical surgical excision.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of myocardial iron using T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been validated and calibrated, and is in clinical use. However, there is very limited data assessing the relaxation parameters T1 and T2 for measurement of human myocardial iron. METHODS Twelve hearts were examined from transfusion-dependent patients: 11 with end-stage heart failure, either following death (n=7) or cardiac transplantation (n=4), and 1 heart from a patient who died from a stroke with no cardiac iron loading. Ex-vivo R1 and R2 measurements (R1=1/T1 and R2=1/T2) at 1.5 Tesla were compared with myocardial iron concentration measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. RESULTS From a single myocardial slice in formalin which was repeatedly examined, a modest decrease in T2 was observed with time, from mean (± SD) 23.7 ± 0.93 ms at baseline (13 days after death and formalin fixation) to 18.5 ± 1.41 ms at day 566 (p<0.001). Raw T2 values were therefore adjusted to correct for this fall over time. Myocardial R2 was correlated with iron concentration [Fe] (R2 0.566, p<0.001), but the correlation was stronger between LnR2 and Ln[Fe] (R2 0.790, p<0.001). The relation was [Fe] = 5081•(T2)-2.22 between T2 (ms) and myocardial iron (mg/g dry weight). Analysis of T1 proved challenging with a dichotomous distribution of T1, with very short T1 (mean 72.3 ± 25.8 ms) that was independent of iron concentration in all hearts stored in formalin for greater than 12 months. In the remaining hearts stored for <10 weeks prior to scanning, LnR1 and iron concentration were correlated but with marked scatter (R2 0.517, p<0.001). A linear relationship was present between T1 and T2 in the hearts stored for a short period (R2 0.657, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Myocardial T2 correlates well with myocardial iron concentration, which raises the possibility that T2 may provide additive information to T2* for patients with myocardial siderosis. However, ex-vivo T1 measurements are less reliable due to the severe chemical effects of formalin on T1 shortening, and therefore T1 calibration may only be practical from in-vivo human studies.

Abstract
Hemosiderotic fibrohistiocytic lipomatous lesion (HFLL) is a recently proposed lipomatous entity. HFLL was originally suggested to be a benign reactive lesion arising due to an antecedent trauma. We report two patients with HFLL who also suffered from chronic vein insufficiency due to varicose involving deep veins of the low limbs. Both patients were middle-aged women with solitary, poorly circumscribed subcutaneous lesions on the lower extremities. Histopathological examination revealed typical features of HFLL. We think that the consistent clinical features such as advanced age, female sex predilection, and specific location along with distinctive histopathological features allow the suggestion that impaired blood circulation, to wit, venous stasis is involved in the pathogenesis of HFLL. We hypothesize that the proliferation of spindled fibroblastic and myofibroblastic cells and capillaries, erythrocyte extravasation, and hemosiderin deposition with lipomatous tissue of HFLL may simply represent an exaggerated tissue response to venous stasis in which elevated venous and capillary pressures, oxygen saturation, and edema stimulate the proliferation of the above mentioned elements and lead to erythrocyte extravasation. A similar histopathological pattern is seen in acroangiodermatitis of Mali and vascular transformation of lymph node sinuses, and these conditions are also associated with impaired blood circulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by hemoptysis, diffuse pulmonary infiltration, and anemia. Diagnosis requires a detailed clinical history and transbronchial lung biopsy (TLB). METHODS AND RESULTS A 19-year-old man developed progressive dyspnea, hemoptysis, and anemia. The chest x-rays showed bilateral opacities. IPH was diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings and TLB. The patient was treated with corticosteroidal therapy. His respiratory function worsened, and he underwent lung transplantation in 1997. The pathological examination on native lungs confirmed the previous histologic diagnosis. In 2000, the patient again developed hemoptysis, fever, and hypoxemia. A recurrence of the disease was established by TLB. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report of recurring IPH. The possibility of recurrent IPH raises the question whether these patients should be disqualified from lung transplantation. This question is unanswerable because incidence of recurrence, time course, and impact on the graft function are presently unknown and unpredictable.

Abstract
Only a few cases of combined liver and heart transplantation have been reported in the literature, and no standard surgical procedure has yet been established. We report the successful transplantation of both liver and heart in a 28-year-old patient suffering from homozygous beta-thalassemia. We used Belghiti's technique of inferior vena caval flow preservation for liver transplantation, which avoids inferior vena cava occlusion by a side-to-side caval anastomosis. Applied to combined liver and heart transplantation, preservation of caval flow during liver transplantation may allow early discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass and, thus, minimize the general consequences of prolonged bypass.

Abstract
Of 168 patients operated on consecutively for a supratentorial cavernous malformation, 77 had seizures as the initial symptom. The effectiveness of surgery in controlling seizures and the risk of surgery were evaluated by retrospective review of the patients' charts. The follow-up period was 1 to 9 years (mean 39 months) and the review period totalled 284 lesion-years. Only two patients showed postoperative deterioration in neurological status (morbidity risk: 2.6%), no patient died (mortality: 0%). Sixty-eight (88.3%) patients were seizure-free after operation and five (6.5%) showed a marked reduction in the frequency of their seizures. This corresponds to an overall positive effect of surgery of 94.8% of the patients. There was no substantial evidence that excision of the haemosiderin-stained tissue around the cavernoma along with the lesion itself provided better results than resection of only the cavernoma. Better results with regard to seizure control, however, were associated with shorter duration of symptoms before surgery.

Abstract
Pneumological examinations including open lung biopsy performed on a male patient of 30 years of age suffering from severe respiratory distress that disabled him, as well as from massive recurring attacks of hemoptysis, resulted in suspicion of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (also known as Ceelen-Gellerstedt's syndrome). Diagnosis of cor triatriatum followed by surgery was arrived at only after a pulmonary oedema had developed and after other rare cardiac diseases had been considered. This rare congenital malformation--which occasionally becomes clinically manifest only in the adult--should be suspected in differential diagnosis of respiratory distress and a sometimes also life-threatening hemoptysis. Echocardiography is the diagnostic method of choice in this regard.

Abstract
A chronic hemodialysis case, a 46-year-old woman with secondary hemosiderosis induced by parenteral iron and blood transfusion due to a refractory anemia, was effectively treated with recombinant human erythropoietin and the removal of red blood cells. The cumulative dose of the iron removed was 5,712 mg. Plasma ferritin decreased from 8,290 to 2,203 micrograms/l during 18 months. Concomitantly, liver histology performed before and after the therapy revealed a prominent regression of the deposited iron.

Abstract
Primary or genetic haemochromatosis is an inherited disease characterized by an inappropriate degree of iron absorption with accumulation of excessive amounts of tissue iron. Parenchymal iron accumulation results in the typical clinical features of the disease including hepatic cirrhosis, diabetes, testicular atrophy and skin pigmentation. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The gene for the disease has not been identified but is tightly linked to the A locus of the histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6. The approximate homozygote frequency in Caucasians is 0.3% with an equal sex ratio. Excessive body iron stores have been described in a number of other conditions, particularly alcoholic liver disease. There is increasing evidence that many of these individuals are in fact also suffering from genetic haemochromatosis. Diagnostic tests including serum iron, transferrin saturation, serum ferritin and liver iron concentration make it possible to detect sufferers of the disease. Screening relatives of affected individuals with these tests allows a diagnosis to be made before permanent tissue damage has occurred. Removal of excess iron stores by repeated phlebotomy is the primary treatment. If iron is removed before significant tissue damage has occurred, the complications and natural course of the disease will be prevented provided reaccumulation of iron does not occur. Excessive iron accumulation with resultant organ damage also occurs in anaemias associated with ineffective erythropoiesis and after excessive parenteral iron administration or repeated blood transfusions. Similar clinical features may be seen. Chelation therapy is the mainstay of treatment in these cases where long-term venesection is not possible.

Abstract
Between the years 1962 and 1976 85 eyes which had undergone cataract surgery were accessioned to the Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory of the Helsinki University Eye Hospital. The specimens were submitted from the various eye departments of the country. Of these 8k eyes nine had been enucleated within 2 months after surgery while in 64 cases the enucleation had been performed more than 12 months after surgery. 40 eyes had had an attempted operation for senile cataract, 30 eyes for traumatic cataract while the remaining cases were congenital cataract cases or cataracts in pre-existing glaucomatous or chronic uveitis eyes. Most frequent causes for the loss of the eyes were related to incomplete or abnormal healing of the operative wound such as epithelial down-growth and closure of the chamber angle with extensive anterior synechiae leading to absolute glaucoma. It is noteworthy that all cases of epithelial downgrowth were derived from the beginning of the observation period. No new cases were obtained after 1969. Other important causes were purulent endophthalmitis and retinal detachment. Haemosiderosis was a prominent cause in the group with traumatic cataract. A careful histopathological analysis of eyes enucleated after cataract surgery is mandatory as it is from the complications we learn most in cataract surgery.
