Article Synopsis
- Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is the most common solid kidney tumor in newborns, and MRI is the preferred method for diagnosis, especially in differentiating it from Wilms tumor.
- This study involved a review of MRI scans from 52 confirmed cases of congenital mesoblastic nephroma, categorizing them into classic, cellular, and mixed types, with a focus on their distinct MRI characteristics.
- Key findings revealed that the classic type was more homogeneous and smaller, while cellular and mixed types were larger and more heterogeneous, with specific MRI signaling patterns noted across all cases.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical impact of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (no more than four pulmonary nodules of less than 5 mm or one nodule measuring between 5 and less than 10 mm by computed tomography [CT]) in children and adolescents with adult-type non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS) at diagnosis.
Methods: Patients with NRSTS treated in 11 centers as part of the European paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG) were retrospectively assessed. Local radiologists, blinded to clinical information except for patients' age and tumor histotype, reviewed the chest CT at diagnosis and filled out a case report form.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) as a predictive imaging marker after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma.
Material And Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective study including pediatric, adolescent and young adult patients with rhabdomyosarcoma, Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study group III/IV, treated according to the European paediatric Soft tissue sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG) RMS2005 or MTS2008 studies. DW-MRI was performed according to institutional protocols.
Introduction: Page kidney (PK) is a rare condition caused by parenchymal compression due to a subcapsular hematoma. Irreversible damage of the graft may occur if this condition is not recognized and treated properly.
Clinical Case: We describe the case of a 16-year-old man with chronic renal failure secondary to corticosteroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (CRNS) caused by NPHS2 mutations.
Background: Primary abdominal wall closure after pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) is neither always possible nor advisable, given the graft-recipient size discrepancy and its potential large-for-size scenario. Our objective was to report the experience accumulated with delayed sequential closure (DSC) guided by Doppler ultrasound control.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of DSC performed from 2013 to March 2020.
