RESUMEN
Primary hepatocellular carcinoma is a well known liver condition. Carcinoids are tumors arising mostly in the intestinal tract and/or in the lungs, and giving rise to a certain syndrome. They metastisize to other organs, especially the liver (1). Primary hepatocellular carcinoma with carcinoid features is an extremely rare tumor and only one such case has been reported so far (2). In this report we describe the case of a tumor of the liver with features both of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and carcinoid.

Clinical and serial CT findings in 9 children, mainly infants with advanced tuberculous meningitis are presented. Hydrocephalus, tuberculomas and brain infarction were common findings in the acute stage of the disease. CT scan, allowing the detection and follow-up of cerebral manifestations of tuberculosis, proved to be an accurate and effective diagnostic method, which should be used in all cases of tuberculous meningitis.

Chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed preoperatively in a case of thoracopagus twins. Although in this case some information regarding the joined hearts and livers and the separate pairs of kidneys was obtained by CT, it is evident that other examinations are still needed to evaluate the various organ systems. This is particularly true for angiocardiography.
