[Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the esophagus].

The patient aged 60 underwent extirpation of the thoracic oesophagus followed by esophagogastroplasty and splenectomy. There was a polyp-like neoplasm 12 cm long and 3 cm in diameter on a crus originating from the esophageal wall and diagnosed histologically as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma infiltrating muscular coat at the site of the crus. The patient died of suppurative mediastinitis 8 days later.

[Pulmonary pneumocystosis in an adult patient].

A 34-year-old male with no diseases in the past developed, after a 7-day alcoholic abuse, an acute pancreatitis and ulcerative necrotic colitis. At the autopsy, apart from the underlying disease, the pulmonary pneumocystosis was found which is considered by the authors as a complication of a severe pathology of the alimentary tract organs followed by immune system dysfunction.
