ABSTRACT
There are a variety of advanced gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, many of which are guided by endosonography, which are performed by interventional gastroenterologists or minimally-invasive surgeons. The purpose of this pictorial review is to briefly describe several advanced gastrointestinal endoscopically guided procedures, to review the implications for radiologists interpreting the associated imaging examinations, and to demonstrate the expected preprocedural imaging findings, as well as the expected and the unexpected postprocedural findings, in patients undergoing these procedures.

Cutaneous presentations of bronchogenic cysts are rare in all age groups. Previous reports of cutaneous manifestations of bronchogenic cysts have been described as nodular, adherent masses, most frequently with a suprasternal location. We report a unique presentation of an infant with a pedunculated, anterior chest wall mass, which was identified as a bronchogenic cyst.

Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a rare entity belonging to a family of neoplasms of neuroectodermal origin. These highly aggressive neoplasms overwhelmingly affect children and young adults. A quarter of Ewing's sarcomas occur principally in the soft tissues with primary involvement of the perinephric fat and kidney being exceptionally rare. We present a 38-year-old man with primary Ewing's sarcoma of the perinephric fat and kidney diagnosed 2 years earlier who subsequently developed an infiltrating left renal and perinephric mass.
