XC Further Study of Adenoma of the Bronchus

Ossifying Bronchial Adenoma

“…This latter phenomenon has been attributed to the origin of the growth in mucous glands situated deeply in the bronchial wall, a variant of adenoma called " intramural " by Kramer and Som (1935), although well illustrated in several other papers, e.g., Wessler and Rabin (1932) and Foster-Carter (1941). We agree with Mallory (1941) and Holley (1946) that all cartilage in bronchial adenomas is of physiological origin, and not evidence of a "mixed " tumour.…”

“…Four of these were "cylindromatous," and presumably more rapidly growing (Kramer and Som, 1939; Belsey and Valentine, 1951). All of these showed erosion of the periphery of the cartilage by tumour cells, but no calcification.…”

Ulcerative Stomatitis Associated with Symptoms of Peptic Ulcer

“…Adenoma of the bronchus, a relatively rare condition occurring in approximately 6% of all bronchial tumours (Kramer and Som, 1935), is often not diagnosed for a considerable time after the onset of symptoms. The following case occurring in general practice is reported as a reminder of the disease and to record its unusual features.…”

Video Endoscopy for Laser Photoresection in Tracheobronchial Pathology: Some Considerations After 9 Years Experience With 2105 Treatments

“…Since the 1930's, there has been a clear desire to eliminate, through endoscopic methods, large tumoral or iatrogenic obstructions of the airways. In 1935, Kramer and Som (1) published the first results of endoscopic resection in 20 patients with bronchial adenoma, observing years later that of the 14 patients that they had considered adequately treated, 50% were cured or free of symptoms (2). Further attempts to endoscopically resect malignant lesions were soon abandoned because postulated improvements in ventilation were offset by the significant risk of hemorrhagic complications (3).…”
