RESUMO
Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare, but well documented complication of chronic osteomyelitis. Squamous cell carcinoma arising in a sinus tract following chronic osteomyelitis of the pelvic bone is a very rare occurrence. The patient presented with multiple draining sinuses and an ulcerative growth at the mouth of one of the sinuses in the peri-anal region. X-ray findings and sinogram showed de- struction of part of pubic bone. Biopsy from the growth confirmed a well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore it is imperative that these lesions be biopsied for accurate diagnosis, adequate therapy and follow-up.

Acardiac twinning is a rare anomaly .75% of cases occurring in monzygotic triplet pregnancies and the rest in monozygotic twins. We report an antenatally undiagnosed case of acardius amorphous. The condition results from abnormal placental vascular anastomoses termed as twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) theory. Early sonographic prenatal diagnosis improves the survival of the normal twin called the pump twin.
