Granular cell tumor of the trachea in a child.

Granular cell tumors are benign neoplasms found most commonly in the head and neck, particularly the tongue. They have, however, been described in all areas of the body. Their presentation in the trachea is exceedingly rare, with their presence in the pediatric trachea being an even rarer occurrence. We describe a case of a granular cell tumor of the trachea in a 10-year-old boy with a dramatic, almost lethal, presentation. This is followed by a review of the literature, including pathology and treatment options.

Inflammatory bowel disease.

This article reviews a selection of 50 papers on inflammatory bowel disease published between April 2000 and June 2001. The new information summarized here includes: the discovery of the association of the NOD2 gene with Crohn's disease; the role of bacteria and the modulating effects of probiotics; the inverse association of appendectomy and ulcerative colitis; progress in imaging based on magnetic resonance imaging and leukocyte scintigraphy; assessment of the value of anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies in the screening of inflammatory bowel disease and differentiation between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease; and risk factors and management of dysplasia and cancer. This article does not review all therapeutic aspects, but focuses on smoking cessation; anti-tumor necrosis factor antibody treatments; the usefulness of measuring erythrocyte 6-thioguanine metabolite levels to optimize purine analogue therapy; strictureplasty; and the long-term results of ileoanal anastomosis.
