RESUMO
Pleural empyema is characterized by presence of pus or microorganism in the pleural fluid. Most cases of empyema in children are caused by bacterial pneumonia, and the most common pathogen is Staphylococcus areus or Streptococcus pneumoniae. But other uncommon causes of empyema include esophageal rupture, mediastinal disease, tumors, sepsis, thoracic trauma, and surgery can be produced by various pathogens. We experienced a case of Escherichia coli empyema followed by gastroenteritis in 9-year-old boy.

Nesidioblastosis is a term that describes the prolonged differentiation of islets of Langerhan's cells from the epithelium of the pancreatic duct. Nesidioblastosis is a primarily childhood disease, which is often associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, but rarely found in adults. A 62-year-old man with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia complained of general weakness and mental change while fasting. Abdominopelvic CT, celiac angiography, intra-arterial calcium stimulation test and endoscopic ultrasonography did not reveal any tumor in the pancreas. A subtotal pancreatectomy (nearly 80% of pancreas was removed) was then carried out. He was diagnosed with nesidioblastosis inform the pathology after the operation. Herein, our experience of a 62-year-old Nesidioblastosis patient is reported.
