Ossifying renal tumor of infancy: A case report.

Ossifying Renal Tumor of Infancy (ORTI) represents an extremely rare and benign renal neoplasm, with limited cases published in the literature.

[Rapunzel syndrome in a child with trisomy 21: a case report].

Trichobezoard is a rare condition characterized by a gastric mass composed of hair or fibers due to a compulsive attitude (trichotillomania) and an eating disorder (trichophagia).

The radiologic additional examinations are non-specific.

[Spontaneous rupture of the spleen in a child].

Non traumatic or spontaneous splenic ruptures are rare but potentially fatal.
