摘要:
The first case of Farber's disease in Japan was reported, which was confirmed clinically, biochemically and pathologically. Soon after birth, the patient started developing hoarseness, stridor, fever, muscle hypotonous with retarded psychomotor functions including incapability of sitting alone and head control, joint swelling, subcutaneous nodules, albuminocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid, nodular corneal opacity, and abnormal findings in electroencephalogram. Lipid analysis on the material obtained from a subcutaneous nodule confirmed the presence of ceramide. Pathologically, the subcutanoues nodules were made up of granulomatous lesions displaying varied histological pictures, i.e., from cellular to fibrous areas depending on the disease progress. In the beginning, cells were mostly spindle‐shaped, and as these cells were getting more round and larger, cells manifested the morphology of foam cells. Spindle‐shaped cells were positive for periodic acid‐Schiff and acid mucopolysaccharide stainings. This particular substance disappeared almost entirely in typical foam cells. Electron microscopically, the cytoplasm of foam cells was filled with membrane‐bound storage inclusions which consisted of so‐called curvilinear tubular structures. Morphogenesis of the granulomatous lesions and histochemical and ultrastructural correlation of storage cells in this disorder were

摘要:
In this 72‐year‐old male patient, large amounts of amyloid substances were deposited in the mesenchymal organs, but not in the parenchymal organs. Histochemical and electron microscopic studies revealed large amounts of amyloid substances and amyloid fibrils in the skeletal and smooth muscle tissues. In the skeletal muscle tissues, where large amounts of amyloid substances were deposited, glycosaminoglycan was also markedly deposited, especially chondroitin‐4‐sulfuric acid. The concentrations of silicon were also markedly increased in the amyloid fibrils. The concentrations of nickel and cobalt were increased but those of zinc were decreased in all organs measured, although both nickel and cobalt in another case of amyloidosis experienced were within normal
