Heart metastases were recorded from 39 of 477 malignant neoplasms of epithelial origin, which made an incidence of 8.2%. Pericardium and myocardium were equally involved. Pericardial involvement occurred mostly as diffuse carcinosis, whereas the myocardium was involved most frequently on the left side. Metastases from primary lung carcinoma affected the heart in 7.4% of all cases and from carcinoma of the female genital tract in 7%.

All results of immunohistochemistry should be carefully scrutinized in the light of routine pathomorphological findings. The possibilities of immunohistochemistry are demonstrated by two examples: 1. Origin and stage of differentiation of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells with special emphasis on the presence of follicular dendritic reticulum cells in the lymph nodes of a few, otherwise typical cases of CLL. 2. Description of two cases of a new type of NHL that contains intrasinusoidal B-cells.
