Lipoma is the commonest soft tissue tumor arising anywhere in the body, but its occurrence in the larynx is relatively rare. We present a rarest case of lipoma with cartilaginous metaplasia arising from the larynx just above the anterior commissure. The second case report is about a large spindle cell lipoma of larynx presented with stridor.

Regurgitant flow was analysed in 40 cases of mitral regurgitation, using combined ultrasonic pulsed Doppler technique and two dimensional echocardiography. Abnormal Doppler signals indicative of mitral regurgitant flow were detected in reference to the two dimensional image of the long axis view of the heart and the short axis view at the level of the mitral orifice. The overall direction of re...
