Basing on observations of her own the author is presenting some diagnostic problems concerned with the differentiation of mediastinum in children. The material includes one case of thymic cyst in an infant and 4 cases of hyperplasias of the thymus. Hyperplasias of of the thymus were found in 4 brothers. In 3 cases the hyperplastic thymus markedly increased in size. The clinical findings did not coincide in all cases with the radiological picture.

Stress, fatigue or march fractures rarely occur in children. Usually the bones do not show any other pathological alterations. The authors observed a 10 year old girl with stress fracture of the tibia, and additional skeletal alterations like "fibroma non ossificans" which probably are not connected with the main disease.

Bone alterations in Ollier's disease are mainly unilateral. The etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. Hereditary factors probably do not play any rolle in this disease. The authors discribe Ollier's disease in a maly dizygotic twin. Investigations of the family members do not discover any hereditary factors.
