RESUMO
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare entity. We report a 41-year-old man who presented with features of gastric outlet obstruction due to a submucosal lesion in the distal end of the stomach. Distal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction was done. Histology showed eosinophilic gastritis infiltrating the muscular and serosal layers of the pylorus and antrum.

Wilms' tumour, an embryonic neoplasm, the most common renal tumour in childhood, had occasionally been reported in adults. Authors report two such cases and have reviewed the relevant literature. While Wilm's tumour in children classically demonstrates the curative potential of combined modality treatment, no such clear guide lines are available for those occurring during adulthood. Pathologic diagnosis of adult Wilm's tumour is difficult because of the multiplicity of undifferentiated adult tumours that must be considered in the differential diagnosis. As no predictive parameters for optimal therapy exist, a combination of surgery, irradiation and chemotherapy probably is indicated for all stages of disease.

Congenital/Infantile Fibrosarcomas are relatively rare soft tissue tumours. Only 238 cases have been reported till 1986 in the world literature of which 60 were truly congenital. A distinction must be made between them and their adult counterparts because of differences in their clinical behaviour. The authors report three cases and highlight their biological behaviour. Despite having an aggressive histological appearance they have a relatively benign course.
