The common bile duct and the duct of Wirsung cojoin at the level of the duodenum, forming the major. papilla of Vater. Existence of a double major papilla, i.e., two neighboring independent papillary structure:, is infrequent. In our endoscopy unit we have experienced one case of double papilla of Vater wherein canulation of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct could be accom plished through either orifice independently.

The functioning filtering bleb constructed after trabeculectomy in glaucomatous patient might be fail after cataract operation probably due to transient collapse during cataract extraction and inflammatiry reaction of the filtering bleb which result in unsuccessful intraocular pressure control. To compare if the results were identical in cases with the use of encircling band to enlarge the aqueous absorbing scar tissue to trabeculectomy, intraocular pressure was followed for more than 6 months after cataract extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation in 7 eyes that previously underwent silicone tube insertion with the use of encircling band. There were no cases with increased intraocular pressure needed to control postoperatively. Therefore it could be possible to concluded that inflammatory reaction of the filtering bleb or transient collapse during cataract extraction has no negative influences on intraocular pressure in silicone tube implanted eye using encircling band.

The athors have presented recently treated 4 cases of malignant tumors of the eye and adnexa. 1. All of them were rapidly aggrevated after previous incompleted surgical management (3 cases) or postponement 01 operation (1 case). 2. Three cases of them except adenoid cystic Ca. were recurred after orbital exenteration. 3. The authors were concluded that the poor prognosis is due to its nature of malignancy and delayed radical surgical management.

Authors experienced a 59-year-old male patient with the lymphoma of the small iritestine which involved the adjoining mesenteric lymph nodes, the parietaI pleura, and the skin. The skin lesions, simulating necrotizing angiitis, were deep purple colored, asymptomatic, tense, hemorrhagic bullae with soft consistency on the both thighs and left infraorbital area. He had extranodal type, and diffuse, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma by the Rappaport classification, and stage IV by the Ann Arbor staging classification. After about 50 days of clinical manifestations, he was died mainly due to massive intestinal bleeding.

Reconstruction of soft tissue defect with exposure of the tendons and bone in the lower third of the leg and the heel represents a challenge to plastic surgeons. The sural artery flap is a fasciocutaneous flap supplied by the sural artery that accompanies the sural nerve and connects with a septocutaneous perforator of the peroneal artery via a suprafascial network of vessels. For the coverage of soft tissue defects, we operated on 10 patients using a distally-based sural artery flap. The sites of the soft tissue defect were the lower third of the leg in 7 cases and the heel in 3 cases. The size of flap varied from 3.5x4cm to 12x18cm. Nine of 10 flaps survived completely. One flap in which the sural nerve was preserved showed partial necrosis but healed spontaneously. Two flaps showed slightly venous congestion which disappeared after a few days. The advantages of the sural flap are a reliable blood supply, easy and quick elevation of the flap, preservation of the major artery and minimal donor site morbidity. The disadvantage of the flap is hypoesthesia at the lateral part of the foot. In conclusion, the distally-based sural artery flap can be used safely for soft tissues coverage in the lower third of the leg and the heel.

We describe an ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with a sarcoma-like mural nodule. In the literature, rare cases of ovarian mucinous tumors have been described which contain foci of undifferentiated carcinoma, sarcoma, and sarcoma-like nodules. The distinction between these lesions is important because of poorer prognosis of true sarcoma and anaplastic carcinoma than sarcoma-like mural nodules. This case shows different results of immunohistochemical stain for anaplastic carcinoma.
