Hemangiopericytoma of the cervical spine: report of an unusual case.

A hemangiopericytoma of the cervical spine in a 31-year-old woman is possibly the first reported in the orthopedic literature. There is some confusion about the most efficacious treatment.

Cerebral malakoplakia.

A newborn male developed diffuse myoclonus. Right frontal craniotomy revealed a thin hemispheric mantle and a cyst communicating with the right lateral ventricle. In the biopsy of the cyst wall there were the characteristic findings of malakoplakia, granulomatous inflammation with von Hansemann histiocytes and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. The child died at 1 1/2 years of age.
