Extrarenal Wilms tumour.

INTRODUCTION: Nephroblastoma is one of the most common solid tumours in children. It also is the most frequent tumour found in the kidneys. In 5 % of cases it affects both kidneys at the same time. About 70 - 80 new cases of Wilms tumour are registered in Poland annually, usually in patients aged from 1 to 7 years. Extrarenal Wilms tumours are extremely rare. Due to its rarity, series with more cases are based upon material collected from many clinical centers. AIM: We would like to present a case of a boy in whom we diagnosed nephroblastoma in the retroperitoneal space 14 years after he had completed a complex therapy for bilateral Wilms tumour. CONCLUSION: The development of an extrarenal tumour 14 years after complex treatment for bilateral nephroblastoma is related to the survival of metanephros located outside the kidney.

[Radiologic evaluation of changes occurring in bone under the influence of gentamycin-septopal].

On the basis of several-year experience it was acknowledged that in treatment of chronic blood-derived and traumatic inflammations of bones the introduction of chains of Septopal to treatment was an obvious progress. The changes occurring in the bones of the patients for whom Septopal was left for good in the marrow cavity under the influence of antibiotic were evaluated. The observation included 89 patients for whom X-ray examinations were made many times in various intervals. Initially the chains of antibiotic were surrounded with a thin layer of connective tissue, and after several new-generating osseous tissue grew into them. In none of the observed cases any reaction indicating recoil of the carrier of the antibiotic was noticed.

[Algodystrophy--Sudeck syndrome].

Modern views are presented on the development of algodystrophy illustrated with own material with a detailed description of characteristic cases. In the whole material of 175 patients, four age groups, and two groups according to trauma site (hand and foot) were isolated. All patients were subjected to clinical, X-ray, and some to radioisotope examinations. Greatest number of cases of algodystrophy was found in the age group over 60 years which confirmed the observations of other authors. On the basis of the presented material the authors think that of greatest importance are early diagnosis, treatment with of greatest importance are early diagnosis, treatment with analgesics, blood flow improving drugs, and salmon calcitonin, and rehabilitation treatment. It seems also that treatment with magnetic field may be beneficial--however, too small material of patients makes general conclusions impossible.
