Early diagnosis of Meigs syndrome in children A case report and a review of the literature.

Meigs syndrome is a rare disease defined by the coexistence of benign ovarian neoplasm, ascites and hydrothorax, which mainly affects women over the age of 30. This clinical condition refers only to cases in which the ovarian neoformation is a fibroid, a thecoma, a granulosa cell tumor or a Brenner tumor with disappearance of symptoms and effusions after removal of the neoplasm. Meigs syndrome is most frequently characterized by the presence of an ovarian fibroid, which in childhood is very rare and not commonly associated with the disease.

Integrated imaging of systemic Langerhans cell histiocytosis in an infant.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a myeloid neoplasm characterized by a clonal proliferation of CD1a+/CD207+ dendritic cells. Although individuals of any age can be affected, the disease is most common in infants younger than 5 years of age, especially males. A wide range of manifestations, from asymptomatic to aggressive, have been described, along with multiorgan involvement.

Giant malignant sacrococcygeal germ cell tumor in a newborn: A rare case report.

Malignant germ cell tumors constitute about 3%-4% of all neoplasms occurring before the age of 15. They arise in the ovaries, the testes, and in several other locations, including the lower back, the chest, the brain, and the abdomen. In infants and young children, the sacrococcygeal region is the most common site for extragonadal germ cell tumors, and teratomas account for the vast majority of sacrococcygeal germ cell tumors.

A rare case of bilateral testicular metastasis from ileocecal NET: multiparametric US detection.

Testicular metastasis are rare findings and bilateral metastasis of testes are extremely rare. Here we are describing for the first time a case of bilateral testicular metastasis in a patient with a known ileocecal valve NET using an in-depth ultra-sound studying including microvascular flow imaging (MV-flow), ultra-sound new technique, able to detect small vessel slow-signal.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, a rare case in a pediatric patient following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: CT findings and literature review.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of gas-filled cysts in the subserosa or submucosa of the bowel wall. It is associated with various disorders including chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, autoimmune disorders, and organ transplantation. PCI has also been observed following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), associated with chemotherapy, acute Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), immunosuppression, and infections.
