Gastric teratoma is an extremely rare tumour. We report a gastric teratoma in a four month old male infant who presented with a large abdominal mass. There is no evidence of recurrence 1 1/2 years after the tumour was excised. Our case is an addition to the few cases reported in the World literature.

A total of 24 cases of metastatic bone tumours were encountered over the last 6 years. Majority of these lesions (70.8%) were found in the 4th to 6th decades of life with a slight male preponderance. The axial skeleton was involved in majority of the cases (62.5%), the spine being the commonest site of tumour metastasis. A large proportion of the metastatic bone tumours were adenocarcinomas (62.5%) and the lung was the commonest primary site followed by the breast and large intestine. In 41.7% of the patients the bone metastasis was the initial manifestation of the malignant disease which was subsequently detected after investigations. In 20.8% of the cases the primary tumour remained undetected even after through investigations.

We report an unusual case of a 23 year old female who presented with symptoms of spinal cord compression by an extradural metastasis from a gestational choriocarcinoma. She gave the history of evacuation of a hydatidiform mole five months prior to presentation, following which she had been totally asymptomatic and had not attended any follow-up. She responded to conventional chemotherapy.
