Combined type of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is a rare malignancy of the lung that is usually peripheral and diagnosed after resection. We report an unusual case of centrally located combined SCLC with squamous cell component that was diagnosed on endobronchial lung biopsy.

While Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is known to complicate asthma in adults, its association with childhood asthma is very rare. We present two patients, a four-and half year old boy who presented with severe asthma and a 12 year-old girl whose previous chest radiographs revealed fleeting opacities. Both were diagnosed to be suffering from ABPA.
