“…Their source is likely to be because of contamination from tissues crossed during the sampling; however, their possible origin from maternal–fetal celomic circulation cannot be excluded. Four types of embryo–fetal cells have been identified: one type could be fibroblast cells, another with pseudopodia could be neuronal cell precursors and two others are megaloblasts (CD 71+/CD 45−) previously reported …”

Background and objective: Multidetector CT (MDCT) and ultrasonography (US) are of increasing importance for assessment of many pulmonary disorders. Our aim was to evaluate their role in diagnosis of pleural diseases.Methods: Patients from Tanta University Hospital who were suspected to have pleural lesions (symptoms, signs and/or suggestive chest X-ray) during one year period were enrolled in the study. US and MDCT were done for all of them, then data were reported and analyzed.Results: Seventy-one patients were included, sixty of them had evident pleural lesions. Chest pain was the commonest presenting symptom. Malignancy represented 36.7% of pleural lesions, a percentage similar to lesions due to infection etiology. Free pleural effusions were the most common pleural lesions followed by pleural thickening. US was diagnostic in 72% of pleural lesions detectable by MDCT. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images had an additional value than axial images in 39% of pleural lesions, mostly in cases of pleural thickening, free pleural effusion, pleural masses, encysted pleural effusions and pleural plaques. On the other hand, the MPR images had the same value as axial images in empyema and pneumothorax cases.Conclusion: MDCT is an important noninvasive imaging tool in accurate detection and characterization of pleural lesions with complementary MPR images that solve many diagnostic problems. Ultrasonography is a safer alternative but with less diagnostic value.

Summary At 5–12 weeks of gestation the amniotic sac is surrounded by celomic fluid, which contains cells of fetal origin. This fluid can be sampled by celocentesis, which involves the ultrasound‐guided insertion of a needle through the vagina. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of prenatal diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies from the celomic fluid using a specific protocol. Celocentesis was performed at 7–9 weeks gestation in 26 singleton pregnancies at risk for haemoglobinopathies. In 25 cases more than 30 fetal cells were recovered from the celomic fluid and in all these cases molecular analysis for haemoglobinopathies was possible and the results were confirmed by subsequent chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. The results of this study suggest that reliable diagnosis of thalassemia syndromes can be performed from 7 weeks gestation by celocentesis. Further work is necessary to demonstrate the safety of celocentesis before widespread use.
