Megacalicosis was described first by Puigvert in 1964. It is a primary malformation of the calices, which are too numerous and too big. Anatomically, there is an atrophy of the medulla of the kidney, without atrophy of the cortex and without impairment of function. This malformation should not be mistaken for hydronephrosis, because it is harmless and needs no therapy. Four illustrative cases are reported.-_,M. Bet&c. SODIUM

Radioactive sodium chloride was instilled into the ileal loop in 5 children with ureteroileostomy. These studies showed that the sodium chloride reabsorption is a generalized problem especially with acidosis and is not only the result of reabsorption from the ileal loop.-S. Hofmann and H.

The author reports 53 cases of calculous disease in children, (30 renal, 15 ureteral, and 8 vesical), with a recurrence incidence of 16 per cent (6 cases). The causes of recurrence were urinary infection and obstructive uropathy.-M. Bettex. Fmnous POLYP OF THE VERUMONTANUM. K. Kuppusami, and D. E. Moors. Canad. J. Surg. 11: 386-391 (July) 1968.

Histololgic examination showed the polyp to be covered with hyperplastic squamous epithelium with a fibrous tissue core.-C. C. Fergusorr. ORCHIOBLASTOMA CLEAR

The author reports 4 cases of orohioblastoma in children aged 8 month to 35/1~ years at the time of operation (hemicastration). In all 4 cases the first sign was a painless mass in the scrotum. Hemicastration was carried out in all 4 cases. Microscopically, orchioblastoma is an adenocarciuoma partly papillary, with zones resembling adenomatoid tumors of the male and female genital tracts or ovarian mesonephromas. Distinction between orchioblastoma and embryonal carcinoma can be made readily, because embryonal carcinoma is less differentiated and exhibits a more varied and composite structure. Distinct from embryonal carcinoma, orchioblastoma has never been found in adults. The prognosis is bad: 3 of the reported patients died within 7 to 10 months after surgery. The author compares his personal data with those of 57 cases from the literature.-M. Bett~x.

Osteoblastoma is a benign osteoid and bone forming tumor found in adolescents of both sexes. The author reports 3 cases (19-year-old male, 23-year-oId female, and 13-year-old female). The localization was twice in the sacrum and once in the radius. The differential diagnosis is from osteoid-osteoma, osteogenic sarcoma. osteoblastoma, and fibrous dysplasia. The author compares his 3 cases with 49 cases from the literahlre. -M. Better. FRACTURES
