ABSTRACT
Pleomorphic adenoma which is also called mixed tumour occur in major salivary glands like parotid and submandibular glands, and is rare in other sites such as the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea and lacrimal glands. Here, we discuss a case of pleomorphic adenoma of the nasal cavity.

Two rare cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma seen during the last 3 years in children under 10 years of age are reported. To improve survival, emphasis is given on its early diagnosis by a thorough examination and investigation of the child in every case of prolonged bleeding per rectum, diarrhoea and other non specific abdominal symptoms.

Two hundred and seventy five cases were evaluated bronchoscopically for various respiratory conditions. In 140 cases, a foreign body and in 30 cases mucus plug was removed. In 47 cases there was inflammation of the tracheobronchial tree. Forty patients with empyema thoracis were evaluated bronchoscopically because of persistence of bronchopleural fistula or continued pus discharge from intercostal tubes not responding to the routine treatment. The purpose of the article is to stress the therapeutic as well as diagnostic aspect of bronchoscopy for various respiratory conditions in pediatric age group.

Twenty seven cases of spontaneous gastro-intestinal perforation were treated from 1981 to 1990. Four perforations were in the stomach, 17 in the small bowel and seven in the large bowel. One of them had dual perforation, one in the stomach and another in the duodenum. The exact etiology remained obscure. Various factors observed were maternal obstetric complications, prematurity and perinatal asphyxia. Stress should be laid on early diagnosis by following up 'at risk neonates' thus, giving a better overall survival rate.

A child presenting with hydrocephalus with extensive inactive retinochoroiditis and his mother with a healed toxoplasmic scar is being discussed. Maternal ocular examination in each case of hydrocephalus is recommended, as uveitis work up of the child is often unrewarding.
