1. A precocious development of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity (EC 2.4.1.17) towards o-aminophenol is demonstrated in 15-17 day foetal rat liver in utero after dexamethasone administration to the mother. 2. This stimulation of liver transferase activity in utero is directly proportional to the dose of dexamethasone infected. 3. Precocious development of transferase activity in utero can also be effected with the natural glucocorticoid cortisol by multiple injections of large amounts of this hormone into the mother. 4. Transferase activity towards o-aminophenolin foetal lung, kidney and upper alimentary tract can also be precociously stimulated by dexamethasone in 17-day foetuses in utero. 5. Natural development of hepatic transferase activity between days 18 and 20 of gestation is retarded after foetal hypophysectomy by decapitation in utero. 6. Overall glucuronidation of o-aminophenol, as observed in foetal rat liver, is also precociously stimulated by dexamethasone. 7. From this and from evidence previously presented we suggest that glucocorticoids, which are known to increase in rat foetuses between days 17 and 20 of gestation, trigger the normal development in utero of hepatic transferase activity towards o-aminophenol which occurs at that time. We also suggest that these hormones are responsible for the rise in activity of the enzyme in foetal lung, kidney and upper alimentary tract which occurs during the same gestational period.

Alimentary tract duplication is a relatively rare congenital anomaly. Esophageal duplication cyst is an uncommon developmental anomaly among them. Respiratory symptoms are the most common symptoms in foregut duplication, most case present with respiratory distress which may be present from birth, or symptoms may insidious with cough, wheeze, or recurrent respiratory infection. We present a case of newly born baby with respiratory distress, which on radiological investigation showed left mediastinal mass that was removed by excisional biopsy and final histopathology revealed an esophageal cyst.
