[Lipoblastoma. A rare, benign tumor in children].

Lipoblastoma is a rare, benign tumour of embryonal fat seen almost exclusively in infancy and early childhood. It occurs mostly in the extremities, but it is also seen in other parts of the body. The tumour may grow rapidly, and the fact that lipoblastomas show immature fat cells could lead to the wrong diagnosis of liposarcoma. Complete surgical excision appears to be the treatment of choice. A correct, preoperative diagnosis is possible in most cases. Two cases of lipoblastoma of the upper limb and one case in the scapular region are reported.

[Perinephritic abscess].

In spite of technical advances in diagnostic radiology the recognition of a perinephric abscess is still a challenge to even the most experienced urologist. Untreated perinephric abscesses result in considerable mortality. We present ten years experience from 17 patients. All underwent open drainage procedures. In our case this still seems to be the treatment of choice for the majority of these patients. Percutaneous drainage is an alternative to surgery, and is particularly suitable for the high risk patient.

Indomethacin in the treatment of ureteral colic: is fluid restriction necessary?

The effect of fluid load on pain was estimated in 60 patients with acute ureteral colic treated with 50 mg. intravenous indomethacin. One group received 3 l. fluid intravenously, while in another group all fluids were withheld for 6 hours. Pain was assessed with a visual analogue scale. No intergroup difference in regard to pain was found after 1, 3 and 6 hours of observation.
