Primary hypertrophic colonopathy.

We report a 45-year-old man and a 60-year-old woman who presented with features of intermittent intestinal obstruction. Barium enema revealed narrowing at the pelvic-rectal junction in the man, and from the pelvic colon to the anal verge in the woman. Histology of the resected sections showed marked hypertrophy of the muscularis propria in both cases, with normal mucosa, submucosa and myenteric plexus. Both patients are asymptomatic at 4 years' and 2 years' follow up. This entity of primary hypertrophic colonopathy may be a variant of primary visceral myopathy.

Primary choriocarcinoma of jejunum.

A 60-year-old man was admitted with pain in the abdomen and vomiting for one day; radiography revealed pneumoperitoneum. Laparotomy with excision of ulcer-bearing portion of the jejunum was done. Histology revealed choriocarcinoma with syncytiotrophoblastic and cytotrophoblastic cell differentiation. Postoperatively, urine and serum showed high levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotrophins. The patient expired after an unsatisfactory postoperative course.
