A patient with a history of abdominal discomfort and rectal bleeding was discovered to have two hamartomatous polyps, one of the jejunum and one of the colon. The former was associated with mucinous cysts at its base. The findings were similar to those described for colitis cystica profunda. This case is a rare example of cystica profunda disease of the small bowel. Uniquely, it was associated with a hamartomatous polyp.

Thoracoscopy: technique and results in eighteen patients with pleural effusion.

Eighteen patients with pleural effusion were examined. Nine patients had malignant neoplasm and in one the pleura was diffusely involved. Nine patients had pleural effusion of inflammatory origin. One of these was due to tuberculosis, one to trichinosis and the other seven were nonspecific. Thoracotomy in three of these seven failed to add additional information. All patients tolerated pneumothorax well with equilibration of pleural space and atmospheric pressure.
