Epignathus, double pituitary and agenesis of corpus callosum.

Two infants from unrelated families died on the 1st day of life with epignathus, duplication of the entire pituitary, infundibulum and sella, and widening or separation of midline structures of the head including absent corpus callosum. We suggest that some infants surviving surgery for large epignathi may have relatively symptomless absent corpus callosum or double pituitary.

Rhabdomyosarcoma in childhood.

Fifty-four rhabdomyosarcomas in children affected mainly the pelvis and scrotum, 22 cases, head and neck, 19, and limbs and limb girdles, 11. Rhabdomyosarcomas of the female genital tract occurred only in children under 2 years, and those in the lower eyelid presented in the first year of life. A leiomyosarcoma-like appearance, and an undifferentiated small cell sarcoma sometimes mimicking Ewing's tumour, were patterns giving rise to diagnostic difficulty. Many fine gradations from undifferentiated embryonal to almost purely differentiated "pleomorphic" examples, made microscopic classification arbitrary. However, the histological pattern had no bearing on prognosis in children in this series. Of the 46 cases adequately followed, 43 are dead. Two of the 3 long-term survivors had paratesticular tumours.
