A case of cryptococcal subcutaneous abscess caused by primary osseous cryptococcosis.

A patient with a cutaneous manifestation of primary osseous cryptococcosis is described. Statistically 35 cases of cutaneous cryptococcosis excluding this case and one case of primary osseous cryptococcosis without any skin manifestations were reported in Japan between 1955 and 1977. Of these 36 cases, metastatic osseous lesions were observed in only two cases. Each of them was disseminated cryptococcosis, however, the examination of osteolytic lesions was not shown. Therefore, to our knowledge, this is probably the first Japanese report of a case with a cutaneous lesion following to primary osseous cryptococcosis.     

Primary tumors of the duodenal bulb a study of 9 cases with a special reference to their roentgenographic features

The occurrence of benign tumors in the duodenum was once thought to be rare. But with the wide spread use of roentgenographic investigation of the gastrointestinal tract, the diagnosis of the doudenal tumor has become commoner. We encountered 9 cases of duodenal tumors recently and 4 were operated. We presented these cases with reference to their roentgenological features and discussed the diagnosis in them.
