In North America, massive liver necrosis is due mainly to viral infection or exposure to hepatotoxins. We report an unusual case of massive liver necrosis due to diffuse liver infiltration by small cell carcinoma of the lung. The unusual presentation included hyperamylasemia due to ectopic amylase production by the tumor. In this era of liver transplantation it is important to consider malignancy in the differential diagnosis of fulminant or acute liver failure prior to liver transplantation.

The autoprotolysis constants of propylene glycol and its mixtures with water, acetone, propan-2-ol and chloroform have been determined potentiometrically. In the same solvent mixtures the protolysis constants of the phthalic acid-hydrogen phthalate system have been evaluated and indicate that the solvent is more acidic than water, but less acidic than ethylene glycol.
