ABSTRACT
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a rare, idiosyncratic and potentially lethal side effect that occurs patients receiving neuroleptic drugs. Characteristic sings and symtoms include muscle rigidity, fever, altered consciousness, and autonomic dysfuction. The most common serious complication is rhabdomyolysis, which produces acute myoglobiuric renal failure. We present a case of 32-year-old man in whom had NMS and acute renal failure after he had received a combination of chloropromazine and haloperidol. The patients recorvered after treatment by immediate hydration, diuretics and other conservative measure.

Colonic muco-submucosal elongated polyp (CMSEP) is a rare disease which has been firstly reported by Matake. Only 21 cases have been reported since 1994. Although the mechanism of generation of such polyps remains unknown, their elongation may be caused by intestinal motion for a long period. The occurrence sites were distributed throughout the colon, excluding the rectum. CMSEP is coverd with normal mucosa and consisted of edematous, loose, fibrous, connective tissue and dense, fibrous submucosal layer, often dilatation of blood vessels and lymphatics. We present a case of CMSEP diagnosed by a colonoscopic polypectomy.

Primary cardiac tumors in infancy and childhood are rare, with fibromas being the second most common tumor after rhabdomyomas. Although cardiac fibromas are characteristically benign intramural tumors, they may exhibit expansile growth resulting in obstruction, valvular dysfunction, as well as other problems so early diagnosis and successful surgical excision are important. We experienced a case of cardiac fibroma in right ventricle that diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography, chest CT, open heart tissue biopsy etc.
