NEARLY every physician has at one time or another witnessed the contamination of a necrotic lesion by maggots, and in the early part of this century certain species of fly larvae were even employed therapeutically as scavengers. Myiasis is well known in domestic animals as a source of ruined hides, blown meat, and frequently fatal extensions of wounds. Specific parasitism by fly larvae in humans however, is not familiar to many physicians and is relatively uncommon in the United States. Infestation by the strictly American genus Cuterebra has been reported only twice, both instances involving adults. The present case in an infant, therefore, is unique. Since failure to recognize this entity may lead to unwarranted concern, needless morbidity, and perhaps unnecessary or inappropriate therapy, it seems worth while to report the following episode in medical literature. REPORT OF CASE A boy, aged 11 months, in otherwise excellent physical health and

Over 100 years ago the medical profession in Europe and America became interested in the presence of calcium oxalate crystals in human urine. It was known that this substance was liable to form urinary calculi, and it was suspected that its excretion in the urine might indicate a metabolic disorder. Largely under the influence of Prout* and Golding Bird 3 the concept of an "oxalic acid diathesis" was established, and a variety of neurasthenic, dyspeptic, and rheumatic symptoms was attributed to this.† Later, attempts were made to support the diagnosis of the condition by demonstrating abnormally high levels of oxalate in the blood and urine of the patients; the terms "oxalemia" and "oxaluria" were coined. In the present century, Loeper‡ and his associates in France have been particularly active in the investigation of the suspected metabolic disorder and in attempts to maintain "oxalemia" as a clinical entity.

THERE ARE many causes of hypertension in children, one of the most interesting and rarest of which is chromaffin tumor of the adrenal medulla, usually called "pheochromocytoma," or chromaffinoma of extra-adrenal chromaffin tissue, termed "paraganglioma." Pheochromocytoma is rare in adults and rarer still in children. However, over the past 10 years there has been an increasing number of cases reported in children. This increase seems to be largely due to the development and use of pharmacologic tests, especially the histamine test,* the piperoxan (benzodioxan) test,f and the phentolamine (Regitine) test.‡ Most authorities agree that these tests are highly reliable and very useful in establishing a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. The purpose of this paper is to report a case of pheochromocytoma in a child and to review the literature on pheochromocytoma in children. REPORT OF CASE A 12-year-old white boy, admitted to the Mayo Clinic on March 5, 1954, had complained
