The objective of this paper was the description of a case of 68-year old male patient with epithelioid gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome (DIC) as the first and predominant revealed symptom of disease was observed. The final diagnosis was performed using the specific immunohistochemic and ultrastructural assays. The diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties were presented in discussion.
Between the years 19890-1998 in I ENT Department of Silesian Medical Academy were treated surgically 15 patients suffering from soft tissue sarcomas of head and neck region. Patomorphological examination showed: fibrosarcoma (4 cases), haemangioendothelioma malignum (2 cases), rhabdomyosarcoma (2 cases), schwannoma malignum (2 cases), fibrohistiocytoma malignum (2 cases), tumor mixtus mesenchymalis (1 case), haemangiopericytoma malignum (1 case), extrasceletal osteosarcoma (1 case). Sarcomas were localised in paranasal sinuses (7 cases), orbita (5 cases), parapharyngeal space (1 case), parotid gland (1 case) and bucca (1 case). All those patients were treated surgically and most of them were irradiated postoperatively. The authors have presented the diagnostic and methods of treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. According to our experience and data of the literature the method of choice in treatment soft tissue sarcomas should consist of surgery and radiation therapy postoperatively.
The authors have presented a very rare case of multiple primary neoplasms of parotid gland: adenolymphoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Primary multiple neoplasms and multifocal neoplasms are a very complex problem and therefore have been a topic of many articles. The authors describe mechanism of origin, frequency of occurrence, possibilities of diagnostics. The main reason of these neoplasms origin are simultaneously exposure of the tissue to damaging factors and special tissue sensitivity.
The authors present a very rare case of laryngeal mucoepidermoid cancer. Well separated and encysted tumor was totaly removed with Kleinsasser method.

Primary multiple malignant neoplasms and multifocal neoplasms are a very complex problem and therefore have been a topic of many articles. The mechanism of origin, frequency of occurrence, co-existence of neoplasms in functionally similar organs (uterus, mammary gland), heredity, a possibility of diagnostic and therapy are the most interesting aspects. Frequency of multiple primary malignant neoplasms occurrence is about 2-8% and still increases. Pathogenesis of multifocal and multiple neoplasms has rarely been a subject of articles. A simultaneous exposure of a tissue to damaging factors and special tissue sensitivity are the main reasons for neoplasms origin in this group. The authors present a rare case of parotid gland multiple neoplasm: fibrosarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma, as well as discuss the diagnostics, therapy, and prognosis of multiple neoplasms.
40 children aged from 1 to 8 years with failure to thrive, suspected of food allergy were examined. In the small intestine biopsy, normal mucosa or atrophy of intestinal villi of various intensity were found. Eosinophilic infiltration in the submucosa was present. In children over the 3rd year of life, "prick" skin test was performed, confirming polyallergy. Total IgE level was tested in all patients but only in 25% of children was it elevated.
The aim of this study is presentation of two cases primary adenoid cystic carcinoma in subglottic part larynx and upper part trachea. Both were treated by surgical resection with following radiotherapy. Observation period in one case without any recurrent signs and neoplasmatic dissemination is 16 years.

Current diagnostic capabilities of Doppler sonography in solid focal lesions were presented. Diagnostic difficulties were discussed in the case of focal liver lesion, wherein the diagnosis was not reached by sonography backed up by pulsed and color Doppler. The patient was submitted to surgical treatment. A histological specimen disclosed focal nodular hyperplasia. The analysis of the case in question proved that sonography even combined with Doppler method cannot differentiate between hepatocellular carcinoma and focal nodular hyperplasia.

We report two female patients with neurogenic tumors of the digestive tract. In the first patient, the tumor of 10 cm diameter originated in the stomach and at preoperative CT imitated a peripancreatic cyst. In the second patient, the tumor of 6 cm diameter originated in the duodenum. Despite large size, the tumors were clinically indolent and escaped detection at routine endoscopic evaluation. In both cases the neoplasm was removed and postoperative histopathology combined with immunohistochemistry was consistent with diagnosis of digestive Schwannoma.
