Choledochal cyst and duodenal atresia: a rare combination of malformations.

A rare case of congenital duodenal atresia (DA) associated with a choledochal cyst (CC) is reported. At 38 weeks of gestation, a 1,610-g girl was born by cesarean section with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital DA. After the disease was confirmed by radiographs, she underwent a duodenoduodenostomy for complete separation of the duodenum with an annular pancreas.

Leiomyosarcoma of the main bronchus in a girl: a long-time survivor with multiple lung metastases.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the respiratory tract is a very rare malignancy, especially in childhood, with only 15 cases in patients under 16 years old having been reported. In the present case, the survival period from the onset of symptoms has been over 7 years, despite incomplete resection. Based on the 15 published cases, the prognosis is poorer when the tumor is unresected or incompletely resected, but under favorable circumstances, prolonged survival is possible.
