RESUMO
A boy, aged 1 month, who showed a tumour mass in the right neck, is presented. Operation disclosed that the tumour was a cervical thymus with a small cyst. The cervical thymus degenerated gradually into hypoplasia or thymic cyst due to the abnormal descent of the thymus. It is rare that cervical thymus and/or thymic cyst is detected before the age of one year.

A surgical case of giant hyperplasiogenous polyp of the stomach with unusual radiological and pathological findings is presented. Radiological and endoscopical examinations revealed characteristic papillary (villous) features simulating either true adenoma or malignant polyp of the antrum. Complete serial sections from the resected stomach disclosed no malignant area anywhere in and out of the polyp. The pathomorphological nature and radiological characteristics of this rare lesion are discussed.
