RESUMO
Testicular hemangioma (TH) is a congenital, uncommon and non-malignant testicular tumor. In the following report, we present a child who was brought to our emergency department with swelling of the right scrotum. Investigations were consistent with a TH and an associated hernia. We conducted an inguinal exploration given the hernia accompanying the TH. The pathological tissue findings were suggestive of a TH. In our further research, we found that this was the first neonatal hemangioma in the literature. It's important to know that an inguinal hernia can lead to the non-recognition of certain tumors.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Crossed renal ectopy (CRE) is a very rare congenital kidney anomaly. CRE is usually asymptomatic and is most often discovered incidentally, but the patient may sometimes develop various renal manifestations. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a girl who was symptomatic of several episodes of urinary tract infections and whose investigations including ultrasound, uroscan, renal scan and voiding cystourethrogram concluded that she had a crossed left renal ectopy without vesico-ureteral reflux. A regular Follow-up revealed no further symptoms or complications, with partial resolution of the hydronephrosis, and no recurrence of urinary tract infections after hygienic rules. This case didn't require surgical intervention. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: CRE is an infrequently occurring congenital malformation. Uroscan is an excellent tool to describe the full anatomical details of this pathology; and the information provided is crucial for surgeons, nephrologists, and radiologists to aid in the proper handling of this pathology. CONCLUSIONS: CRE is a rare disease that can be diagnosed incidentally. Treatment is only indicated if complications occur or if there is other associated renal disease. Patients require continuous follow-up and need to be examined for potential complications.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Giant mesenteric lipoblastoma (LB) is a rare and benign tumor derived from adipocytes. It may imitate malignant tumors, and its diagnosis is challenging before surgery. The diagnosis can be guided by imaging studies but cannot be confirmed. Just a few cases of lipoblastoma originating from the mesentery are reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a rare giant lipoblastoma arising from the mesentery of an 8-month-old boy who consulted our emergency department for an incidentally discovered abdominal mass. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: LB is most common in the first decade of life, with a high incidence in boys. LBs are generally found in the trunk and extremities. Intra-abdominal locations are rare; however, intraperitoneal tumors generally reach larger dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: Tumors that arise in the abdomen are usually larger and may be discovered by physical exam as an abdominal mass and may cause compression symptoms.
RESUMO
Congenital giant megaureter (CGM) is uncommon in pediatic population, defined as congenital localized or total dilatation of the ureter to over 10 times the normal diameter with a normal bladder. Herein, we reported an entirely dilated CGM presented as neonatal bowel obstruction in a newborn baby. Our experience has suggested that CGM should be considered as a differential diagnosis of abdominal distension and occlusive syndrome.
RESUMO
We report a rare case of synovial sarcoma of the chest wall in a child. A 12-year-old male presented to our pediatric surgery department with chief complaint of swelling accompanied by slight pain of the upper right side of the anterior chest wall since approximately 5 months. Firstly, we performed an ultrasound (US)-mass biopsy. Histopathological examination showed fibromatosis. After that, we underwent surgical resection. Pathological examination revealed a monophasic type synovial sarcoma. Immediately post-operation, the patient manifested a loss of the extension of the forearm, hand, and fingers on the right side. Physical therapy was performed with good results. On the basis of our diagnosis, we performed 6 cycles of multi-drug adjuvant chemotherapy and then radiotherapy. After 3 years of surgery, there was no evidence of recurrence. However, careful observation may be required.
