In February 1991 the Royal College of Physicians produced a report entitled ‘Fraud and Misconduct in Medical Research’. Most of the cases documented have come from the United States but by the end of 1988 five cases had been formally reported in Britain. One of these was a financial fraud perpetrated by a psychiatrist who worked in a district general hospital in the Northern Region and who forged data for a drug company. He was subsequently reported to the General Medical Council by the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry and had his name removed from the medical register. Informal investigations, however, suggest that fraudulent research might be more widespread and as a result the Royal College of Physicians established a working party to look at this issue in detail. They recommended that a twin track approach of prevention and thorough management of complaints of misconduct be adopted. The report was kindly forwarded to the Research Committee of the Royal College of Psychiatrists which felt that a summary of these recommendations should be widely published among researchers in psychiatry.

Myelolipomas are uncommon lesions of the adrenal gland. Four cases are presented which were found at post-mortem examination and in biopsies received during the last 12 years in the Pathology Departments of the Western General Hospital and of the University of Edinburgh. The pathogenesis of the lesion, which so far has remained an enigma, is discussed in the light of previous reports in the literature. Certain factors emerge which may now be seen to play an important pathogenetic role.
