ABSTRACTS
695
5-year-old girl was followed by renal shutdown with recovery in 6 days. Roentgen therapy (3000 R) was administered to the right renal fassa and a course of Actinomycin-D therapy is being continued. The child is well with no evidence of recurrence 2 years postoperatively.--William K. Sieber.
other children with Wilms' tumours who were normotensive. Plasma renin concentration was extremely high in the hypertensive child and the renal tumour showed a marked degree of differentiation and significant quantifies of renin. N o renin was found in the normal renal cortex, nor in the tumonrs of the normotensive patients.--James Lister.

ORCITIOBLASTOMA. W. G. Scobie. Brit. J. Urol. 42:332-335 (June), 1970
J. R. Blair-West and D. A. McCredie. Arch. Dis. Child. 45:376-384 (June), 1970. The case history is reported of a child aged 1 year and 10 months with malignant hypertension in association with Wilms' tumour. There was also considerable hyponatraemia and hypokalaemia which disappeared together with the hypertension after nephrectomy. This patient was compared with two
Six cases of orchioblastoma in children are reported. The average age at presentation was 22 months. Treatment was by orchidectomy and postoperative abdominal radiotherapy in a dosage of 2000 to 3000 rads in 10 to 20 treatments. Three children died following intra-abdominal recurrence of neoplasm. The question of abdominal lymph node dissection is discussed but no firm opinion is offered.--J. H. Johnston.
