We describe two cases of acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) presenting with high fever and hypoxia of acute onset with bilateral interstitial infiltrates on chest roentgenograms. Diagnosis was confirmed in each case by bronchoalveolar lavage and transbronchial lung biopsy in which the pathologic process was limited to the lung interstitium. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the thorax at the height of the disease process revealed peripheral ground-glass opacities along the bronchovascular bundles. Symptoms and radiologic abnormalities resolved spontaneously within two weeks. The HRCT-findings may reflect the pathologic process in AEP and the ground-glass opacities likely indicate spontaneous resolution without corticosteroid therapy.

A 53-year-old male with a small cell carcinoma of the lung was admitted to the Department of Respiratory Diseases, Nikko Memorial Hospital. During bronchofiberoptic examination of the cancer, a small nodule was discovered on the anterior wall of the trachea, about 8 cm below the vocal cord. Histopathologically, it was diagnosed as fibromyxoma of the trachea. Primary tumors of the trachea are very rare and fibromyxoma of the trachea is extremely rare. This is only the second report of a fibromyxoma on the tracheal wall. In this report its clinical manifestations were compared with those reported in the first case.

A 67-year-old male was admitted with the complaint of weakness at hunger early in the morning, when blood glucose was less than 40 mg/dl. The abdominal ultrasonogram and computerized tomogram demonstrated a huge tumor in the right liver lobe. Hypoglycemia disappeared after transcatheter arterial embolization. Then hepatic lobectomy was performed. The tumor was histologically shown to be a fibrosarcoma. Insulin-like growth factor-II was intensely stained in the Golgi area of the tumor cells, suggesting its role in the mechanism of hypoglycemia.

A 20-year-old woman who had suffered from Still's disease was admitted for fever and progressive pneumonitis after long-term remission. High spiking fever, leukocytosis, splenomegaly and an extremely high serum ferritin concentration strongly suggested a relapse of Still's disease. Intensive therapy with high-dose methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide and gamma globulin was required for the severe pneumonitis, which was thought to be a rare manifestation in Still's disease.
