Size of human figure drawing and Goodenough-Harris scores of pediatric oncology patients: a pilot study.

Human figure drawings of 12 pediatric oncology patients were significantly smaller in height, width, and area than were drawings of 12 school children and 12 pediatric general surgery patients paired for sex and age. The Goodenough-Harris scores of the cancer patients' drawings were also significantly lower than those of both school and general surgery groups. It is hypothesized that anxiety, lowered self-esteem, and the effects of chemotherapy contributed to these findings.

Choristoma: esophageal stenosis, due to tracheobronchial remnants.

This communication describes one case treated by the authors and reviews 27 reports of congenital esophageal stenosis caused by tracheobronchial remnants. Histologic examination of the case showed respiratory mucous glands with respiratory epithelium and hyaline cartilage. The anomalies presumably result from failure of normal embryonic separation of the respiratory tract from the primitive esophagus. Primary resection is recommended as definitive treatment. Dilatation of the stenosis affords only temporary relief.
