We describe a patient with inflammatory pseudotumour of the lung. He was a young man who presented with haemotysis and the chest X-ray and computerized tomography were indicative of a nonbenign lesion in the right upper lobe. Excision biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumour of the lung. This is a rare inflammatory nonneoplastic condition commonly affecting children and young adults.

This report deals with 12 cases of gonadoblastoma submitted to the Ovarian Tumour Panel of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. These tumours are found in children and young adults. Children may present with obvious genital malformation, retarded growth or precocious puberty. In adults the main complaint is amenorrhoea but sometimes there is associated masculinization. Histologically the gonadoblastoma has a distinctive structure, easily recognized in most instances. The most important feature is the instability of the germ cells in these tumours. Nine of these cases showed an associated dysgerminoma, bilateral in 4. In any cases of suspected gonadal dysgenesis presumptive evidence of diagnosis is suggested by the presence of a Y chromosome, raised gonadotrophin output and pelvic calcification on X-ray examination. At operation, streak tissue on both sides must be removed since these tumours are frequently microscopic in size. For the same reason the tissue removed should be serially sectioned.

AbstractWe report amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity in an 18-year-old who had undergone corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot 4 years earlier, and was treated with amiodarone because of recurrent malignant postoperative ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Toxicity was recognized on the basis of clinical features, chest X-ray, high-resolution contrast enhanced computerized tomography, and resolution of the findings subsequent to withdrawal of amiodarone and treatment with steroids. pulmonary toxicity due to amiodarone, as far as we know, has not been reported in children and young adults, and its occurence even in young adults requires wider appreciation.
