Possible mechanisms of formation are described. It is suggested that this possibility should be considered in cuses of resistant or recurrent omphalitis. Definitive treatment consists of sinus excision with cosmetic umbilical reconstruction. Total omphalectomy is probably only justified for recurrence.

The complications of U-tube dislodgement and bile leakage are thus avoided.

Research paper thumbnail of Coping Styles in Identifiers and Nonidentifiers of a Breast Lump as a Problem

Baseline measures of mental state and coping style were obtained. Despite the purpose of their visits, 74 of the patients were "nonidentifiers" of the breast lump as a problem on their initial contact with the clinic. All patients who were non-identifiers also used denial as a coping mechanism. Nonidentifiers used more than three times the number of avoidant coping mechanisms than "identifiers." Patients with a family history of breast cancer were more likely to be identifiers than those without a family history.

We describe the first case of a gastrocolic fistula in a patient with stage IE lymphoma. The diagnosis was suggested by feculent vomiting, and the fistula was located using barium enema and CT scan. Therapy consisted of local resection followed by combination chemotherapy.
