RESUMO
Malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumour (MERT) of the gastrointestinal tract is rarely reported in the literature. This report describes the clinical and pathological features of a malignant rhabdoid tumour of the oesophagus in a Chinese man. Ivor-Lewis oesophagectomy had been performed. The tumour behaved aggressively and the patient died from disseminated malignancy one year later. This is only the second case report of a malignant rhabdoid tumour affecting the oesophagus.

Tumours of the parapharyngeal space are not common. The majority arise from the deep lobe of the parotid gland or neurovascular structures. We describe a case of fibromatosis, which has not previously been reported at this site.

A microcomputer program for use in the storage and retrieval of histopathology records is described. The program was written using dBaseIII, a commercially available data management system. The program provides for efficient storage and rapid retrieval of pathology reports and facilitates clinical research. Downloading of data on to a mainframe computer is possible.
