A case with choreoathetoid syndrome is described in a patient with advanced picture of systemic lupus erythematosus. The ineffective cerebroprotective therapy is associated with the grave affection of the deep cerebral structures by he lupus vascuitis.

The authors describe, for the first time in Bulgarian medical literature, a carcinoid of cecum in an 77-year old woman, with a lethal end. The tumour was with the size--6 X 7 cm, with infiltrative growth in the intestinal wall and massive metastases in liver. Grimelius staining revealed the presence of secretory argentophilic granules in the tumour cells. The main tumour, light- and electrone-microscopically, is represented by conditioned non-differentiated and differentiated cellular elements, which in addition to the usual oragellae contain also granules of neurosecretory type.
