ABSTRACT
We report two rare cases of multiple lymphomatous polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract. Both patients had multiple polypoidal defects involving large segments of gastrointestinal tract. The histopathology in both cases was diffuse poorly differentiated lymphoma. One case had multiple relapses despite treatment and died after 58 months. The second patient died following induction chemotherapy.

Primary adenocarcinoma of the esophagus is uncommon and the incidence in the middle third is rare, accounting for about 0.7 percent to 1.5 percent. Metastasis of carcinoma to the eye is a rare occurrence. We report here a case of primary adenocarcinoma of the middle third of the esophagus with choroidal metastasis.

This report documents the occurrence of an extragonadal malignant teratoma on the sole of the foot, in a young male. The patient also developed a groin nodule showing the same histology. The testes, retroperitoneum and mediastinum, which are usual sites of germ cell tumours were all normal, and no other primary could be detected. A teratoma growing in the tip of an extremity is a unique occurrence, biologically difficult to explain, and, which to the best of our knowledge has never been reported in literature.

A patient with nodal non Hodgkin's lymphoma who developed a second primary (adenocarcinoma) in the stomach eight months after remission is reported. Implications of a new cancer in non Hodgkin's lymphoma are discussed.
