ABSTRACT
Adenocarcinoma of cervix constitutes about 10-15% cases of carcinoma cervix. Clear cell variant is even a rarer variant of adenocarcinoma. It rarely occurs in the paediatric age group and a known risk factor is in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES). We report here a case of primary cervical tumour in a 1-year-old girl, which was initially suspected to be an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma botryoides. Histopathology with immunohistochemical analysis revealed clear cell adenocarcinoma. There was no maternal history of DES intake during pregnancy. We discuss the histopathological characteristics and clinical course of this unusual tumour.

A 7-year-old male presented with history of low-grade fever, epigastric pain and dysphagia. Ultrasound of abdomen and thorax revealed presence of paraesophageal lymphadenopathy. 'Barium swallow' and computerized tomography scan thorax with oral contrast suggested a provisional diagnosis of paraesophageal diverticulum. Esophagoscopy was normal. Endoscopic ultrasonography with biopsy confirmed tuberculosis. The patient was started on four-drug antitubercular treatment.
ABSTRACT
Congenital segmental dilatation of the colon belongs to a group of Hirschsprung's-like diseases with normal ganglion cells. The presentation is with chronic constipation affecting older children. We report a neonate with congenital segmental dilatation of the colon associated with sigmoid atresia. The child is well after a colostomy.

Duodenal and colonic duplication presenting as mass in a neonate is rare. We report a 52-cm-long tubular, total colonic and 5-cm-long cystic duodenal duplication in a two-day-old neonate. Both the duplications could be excised without resection of the normal bowel.
