[Congenital hepatoblastoma with a rhabdomyoblastic component]. / Vrozhdennaia gepatoblastoma s rabdomioblasticheskim komponentom.

An observation of congenital hepatoblastoma of a mixed type in a baby dying on the 50th day of life is described. The boy was born with a metastasis of the tumour into the left superciliary area. The process of hepatoblastoma metastasising had begun in the intrauterine period. The main and metastatic nodes of the tumour consisted of epithelial and mesenchymal components. The multicomponent structure of the tumour attests to its origin from a pluripotent blastoma like Wilms tumour. In addition to the hepatoblastoma with disseminated metastases the boy had malformations in the liver and kidneys. The combination of hepatoblastoma with congenital malformations appears to be due to the effect on the fetus of some harmful factors in the first trimester of pregnancy (toxicosis, influenza).

[Case of the successful use of carminomycin in combination with cyclophosphane and vincristine in treating ectopic chondrosarcoma of rare localization in a 5-month-old infant]. / Sluchai uspeshnogo primeneniia karminomitsina v sochetanii s tsiklofosfanom i vinkristinom v lechenii éktopicheskoi khondrosarkomy redkoi lokalizatsii u 5-mesiachnogo rebenka.

Two relapses of ectopic chondrosarcoma of rare localization were registered at early periods in a 5-month child after surgical operation. Complete regression of the tumor was observed after the 1st course of combined therapy with karminomycin, vincristin and cyclophosphan. Subsequent observations for 2 years showed that the child was practically healthy.
