[Pulmonary blastoma in childhood--a case report and review of the literature].

The paper deals with a pulmonary blastoma with CNS involvement in a young child 2 years after resection of congenital cysts from the other lung. Further 25 pulmonary blastomas in infants are compiled from the literature serving as the basis for a discussion of epidemiology, pathogenesis, classification, definition and prognosis as well as diagnostic and therapeutic problems involved in these rare malignant lung tumours.

[Diagnosis and therapy of mediastinal tumors in children].

43 mediastinal tumours differing by genesis, operability, and localisation and handled between 1970 and 1985 are reported in this paper. They called for differentiated diagnosis and therapy. Most of them (21) were of neurogenic origin. Their survival rate (86 per cent) was much higher than that recorded from abdominal tumours, probably because of a higher percentage of benign and semi-malignant processes among them. Their absolute number was 13. While computed tomography could effectively replace invasive methods of investigation, its informative potential was limited when it came to patients in infancy. Definite diagnosis was quite often obtainable only from histological examination. Diagnosis should be made soon and thoracotomy not delayed in view of potential malignancy.

[Complete duplication of the small intestine in childhood].

The article reports on two cases of complete duplication of the small intestine in an infant of 7 months of age (female) and a boy aged 3 1/2 years. The almost complete lining of the duplicated small intestine with gastric mucosa resulted in massive haemorrhages. These haemorrhages, in conjunction with ileus, were the indications for an operation. Mucosectomy was performed in the region of the duplication. Such removal of the mucosa is recommended in complete duplication of the small intestine and in partial tubular forms.
