ABSTRACT
Authors present a case of acute renal failure and hyponatraemia caused by a secretory tubulovillous adenoma of the colon, the rare so called McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome. A 75 year old woman was in need of treatment many times on medical wards because of watery diarrhoea, severe dehydration, hydroelectrolyte disturbance. The authors keep their case to be worthy to present, owing to the syndrome's rarity and difficulties of differential diagnosis. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(18): 711-714.

Ectopic pregnancy is a major gynecologic emergency, and remains a life-threatening syndrome. Hepatic pregnancy is an exceptionally rare form of ectopic pregnancy. The authors present a case of a 28 year old woman, who was admitted to hospital with epigastric pain. Diagnostic investigations showed a rare, 16-week-old ectopic pregnancy in the liver. The authors emphasise the importance of early diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy in order to reduce maternal mortality.
