Eosinophilic enteritis with perforation.
A case of eosinophilic granuloma of the gastrointestinal tract with free perforation is described. The authors believe this is the first such case to be published. The patient, a 60-year-old woman, had no history of allergy. At laparotomy, 100 ml of pus was aspirated. A 42-cm section of small bowel, containing multiple punched-out ulcers, was excised. The mucosa and submucosa of the operative specimen were edematous; there was a moderate inflammatory infiltrate containing numerous eosinophils and neutrophils. The lesion appeared to represent a local reaction to some antigen with resultant eosinophilic infiltration.

Fungal mastitis. Case report.
Fungal (cryptococcal) mastitis in a young woman seemed to be a systemic manifestation of the infection, since it recurred contralaterally within 4 months. Diagnostic problems are discussed. Only two previous reports of deep mammary mycosis were found. In addition to excision, ketoconazole is recommended to prevent recurrence or serious complications.

Metastasis to pampiniform plexus from left renal adenocarcinoma presenting with acute varicocele.
A case of metastatic adenocarcinoma from the left kidney to the veins of the pampiniform plexus is described following initial presentation with an acute varicocele. It provides further evidence to support the retrograde venous route for intrascrotal secondary malignancy and also for low ligation of the left testicular vein at radical nephrectomy.

Light stimulated 'shunt-metabolism' succinate-alpha-ketoglutarate-isocitrate cycle and accumulation of citric acid in Aspergillus niger.
Studies with light of the visible range had shown that light plays significant role in the biosynthesis and accumulation of citric acid in Aspergillus niger. Accumulation of 14C-labelled carbon atoms in alpha-ketoglutaric, isocitric, succinic and glycolic acids in the cultures grown under illumination suggest a probable 'shunt-metabolism' leading to the succinate-alpha-ketoglutarate-isocitrate (SKI) cycle. This shunt metabolism minimizes the accumulation of citric acid in cultures due to depletion of intermediates.

Gall-bladder interposition: a rare anomaly of the extrahepatic ducts.
Abnormalities in bile ducts pattern occur frequently enough to merit importance during cholecystectomy. A patient with anomalous insertion of both hepatic ducts into the gall-bladder with the cystic duct replacing the common bile duct is described. This case, and related anomalies of the bile ducts, are sufficiently important for us to ascertain their location and pattern prior to removal of the gall-bladder. Inadvertent injury to a normal or aberrant bile duct can result in morbidity and even mortality. Knowledge of the embryogenesis of these anomalies helps in the understanding of the location and pattern of these malformations. Almost all of these unusual bile duct arrangements can be recognised by following the rules of meticulous dissection and accurate knowledge of these anatomical aberrations.
