We present an exceptional case of a patient with hemimegalencephaly and secondary intractable epilepsy treated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and subsequent glioblastoma development in the hemimegalencephalic hemisphere 6 years after surgery. VNS (at age 18 years) led to a 60% reduction of intractable seizures. However, symptoms of intracranial hypertension suddenly occurred 6 years after surgery. A computed tomography scan revealed a brain tumor in the hemimegalencephalic hemisphere. Pathologic examination confirmed glioblastoma multiforme. The genetic background of hemimegalencephaly is discussed here, with attention paid to the available data about the malignant transformation of malformations of cortical development (MCDs). The case points to the need for adequate clinical and radiologic follow-up care for patients with MCDs including hemimegalencephaly.

All cases diagnosed in Finland as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's disease or histiocytosis X in children younger than 15 years in 1953 to 1973, according to the Finnish Cancer Registry, were reexamined histologically. Only 55% of the cases originally diagnosed as NHL were regarded as such at reexamination. The others were mainly malignant nonlymphatic tumors such as neuroblastoma and different kinds of sarcomas. Seventy-two NHLs were diagnosed in 50 boys and 22 girls. The corrected age-specific incidence rate was 0.32/10(5). The most common histologic types were Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) (30 cases), lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) (26), large cell lymphomas (LCL) (six), and non-Burkitt's lymphoma (n-BL) (three). There were marked differences between BL and LBL in the course of the disease: BL was extranodal in 83%, LBL only in 4% (mediastinum was regarded as nodal); BL showed initial abdominal or pelvic involvement in 60% whereas LBL showed none; BL had initial mediastinal involvement in 7%, and LBL had it in 62%; all patients with LBL died whereas 23% of those with BL survived. Other types of NHL resembled BL in their course of disease. Patients with initial tonsillary involvement appeared to have the best prognosis and patients with mediastinal involvement the poorest. The importance of accurate histologic classification is emphasized. It appears to be most important to differentiate LBL from other types of NHL.
