RESUMO
Two rare cases of colorectal adenocarcinoma seen during the last 3 years in children under 10 years of age are reported. To improve survival, emphasis is given on its early diagnosis by a thorough examination and investigation of the child in every case of prolonged bleeding per rectum, diarrhoea and other non specific abdominal symptoms.

Estimation of serum copper and ceruloplasmin was done in 25 non pregnant females, 25 healthy pregnant women followed from I to III trimester and 75 pregnant women with anaemia--25 in each trimester. Anaemia was further divided into mild, moderate and severe types (27, 32 & 16 cases respectively). Normal pregnancy was associated with progressive increase in serum copper and ceruloplasmin--values being highest in III trimester. All types of anaemias in pregnancy revealed statistically significant elevation of serum copper and ceruloplasmin when compared to corresponding gestational period in normal pregnancy.
