In 1896, when he was 63 years old, Johannes Brahms, who had always been demonstrably in good health, developed an icterus of increasing intensity together with a considerable enlargement of the liver and loss of weight. Since infectious hepatitis could scarcely come into the question, from the medical point of view a neoplasm in the region of the liver as well as cirrhosis of the liver were considered. While hepatic carcinoma is a relatively rare disease in Europe even today and Brahms, on the other hand, had consumed copious quantities of concentrated alcoholic drinks during his lifetime, cirrhosis of the liver is the most probable diagnosis, especially as at the end hemorrhages from esophageal varices and the lower intestinal segments occurred.

One case of dysembryoma of the thyroid gland is reported. 115 cases of that rare disease have been published; the tumor is particularly rare in adult (14 cases). Salient features are reviewed, mostly complications and malignant degeneration. Surgical removal is the only treatment and also the only mean to have histological diagnosis.

Malignant choroid plexus papilloma is a rare disease. The autopsy case of malignant choroid plexus papilloma being suggestive of the youngest in Japan, was reported. This 8-months-old baby had normal delivery history, and the development and growth were not eventful. The patient admitted to the University hospital because of projecting vomiting and meningeal irritating signs at 7.5 months in age, and septic meningitis was most suspected. He died 2 weeks afte the admission. At autopsy, a large papillary tumor with marked necrosis and hemorrhage was seen in the right lateral ventricle. The right lateral ventricle was almost replaced by the tumor. The metastasis to the brain base and the sheeding to the subarachinoidal space of the cerebellum were noted.

The third case of presumably spontaneous rupture of a hypernephroma in a child is reported. This patient remains free of disease more than 5 years following radical nephrectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. Although renal adenocarcinoma in children remains a rare disease, more than 80 cases have appeared in the literature, making it necessary now to consider this tumor in the differential diagnosis of all childhood abdominal masses. Equally significant is the observation that presentation as an acute abdominal crisis in a child can occur, making it important that diagnostic considerations in such situations include hypernephroma, as well as Wilms' tumor. Review of the literature shows that occasional cures from spontaneous retroperitoneal rupture of hypernephromas have been reported in adults, but not in children, although this child has survived in spite of tumor spillage in the free peritoneal cavity.

The typical symmetric lesions in a patient with tumor calcinosis avidly accumulated bone-seeking compounds. Thus, bone scanning is very helpful in the diagnosis of this rare disease, especially if the calcareous masses are not situated periarticularly.

Adenocarcinoma involving the bulbomenbranous urethra is a rare disease. This disease is describe in a 30-year-old man and the surgical management is detailed. The adenocarcinoma described seems to have arisen from the periurethral glands of littre. Despite the radical nature of the tumor excision, it was possible to spare the distal penis in order to achieve a more normal appearance of the external genitalia.

A 23-year-old Spanish male presenting with hemoptysis, fever and radiologic signs of lung tumor was found to have hydatid disease of the lung with rupture into the bronchial system. Diagnosis was possible only by demonstration of scoleces in the sputum. The cyst was totally enucleated by surgery. The epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of this quite rare disease are briefly reviewed with special reference to immunology, radiology and cytology.

Adenocarcinoma of the kidney in children and adolescents is believed to be a rare disease. Although only 57 cases 1,2 have been described in the world literature, many others, no doubt, have occurred and have not been reported. Herein reported is an unusual case of a very small neoplasm in which urinary cytologic study aided in the diagnosis.

The necrotising sialometaplasia is a rare disease of the orofacial system. The minor salivary glands of the palate are the main localisation. It's clinical importance consists in the possibility of confusion with squamous cell carcinoma or the mucoepidermoid tumor. The authors report on 3 cases and discuss the etiology and the diagnostic of this disease.

Stage IV disseminated non-Hodgkin lymphomas show kidney involvement with frequency; on the contrary, primary kidney lymphoma, as the sole presenting feature, is a very rare disease. Non-Hodgkin histological pattern, atypical symptoms, marked discrepancy between parenchymal involvement and impairment of renal function are the main features of this tumor. A case-report of a primary kidney non-Hodgkin lymphoma will be described; a short review of literature on this subject will be discussed.
