A case of intrapancreatic duodenal diverticulum is presented and the possibility of pancreatitis is considered. A digital manoeuvre is described for the non-invasive location of a large diverticulum in case where Kocher's manoeuvre is insufficient. The usefulness of surgery as a mean of preventing what may prove dramatic complications is recognised.

A case of struma ovarii in which the correct diagnosis was only suspected at the time of surgery is reported. A 131I scintiscan offers the only preoperative means of ensuring diagnosis. Indeed the condition itself is rare and its clinical signs resemble those of a small ovarian cyst, so that preoperative diagnosis may well be mistaken. Hyperthyroidism accompanied by a normally functioning cervical thyroid offers the sole reason for suspecting an adnexal mass or a struma ovarii.

An uncommon case of annular, jejunum-constricting adenocarcinoma with subocclusive attacks in a woman of 56 is reported.

The authors present two cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei caused by a ruptured mucocele of the appendix and by ruptured mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary observed during the period from 1974 to 1981. It is demonstrated that the development of a generalized pseudomyxoma depends upon the rupture of mucocele or of mucinous cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary with graft of the muciparous cells floating in the "jelly" on the peritoneum of neighbouring organs. Cause of recurrences which require repeated operations for intestinal obstruction, the prognosis is poor although other treatment is carried on post-operatively.
