RESUMO
Our case series concerns eight patients affected by epithelial cancer of the ovary. The immune scintigraphical examination with B 72.3-I-131 monoclonal antibody was carried out as a follow-up after surgical therapy with chemo- and/or radio-therapy. The results were compared with traditional diagnostic methods (CT, pelvic echography etc.). The immunoscintigraphy confirmed the presence of local relapses in seven patients, correlating positively with the results of conventional enquiries. The conclusions, although relating to a limited number of cases, are satisfactory and seem to indicate important diagnostic possibilities to the end of follow-up in patients affected by ovarian cancer.

The Authors report a case of hydatiform mole coexistent with a 12 week old foetus. They suggest that a diagnosis of hydatiform mole cannot always be based on the results of ultrasound examination and that combined ultrasound/hormone assay investigation is a valid obstetric tool for formulating the diagnosis and prognosis of hydatiform mole.

A very rare case of complete testicular feminisation with a 47,XXY sex chromosome complement is described. The X-chromatin is positive. The subject studied, who belongs to a family in which four other members have Morris's syndrome and have a 46,XY karyotype, is a perfect phenotypic female. The endocrine situation is unique and resembles, in part, that of subjects with Klinefelter's syndrome.
