Introduction/background: Ectopic nephrogenic rests (ENR) are rare. The incidental discovery of these lesions in children has particular clinicosurgical implications, especially given the association between ENR and the development of extrarenal Wilms' tumors (ERWT).
Methodology: We reviewed the hospital records of patients with ERWT and ENR treated at our hospital over a 10-year period to identify those patients with histopathologically confirmed ENR and/or ERWT.
Background: Treadmill injuries in children tend to be severe and are becoming increasingly common. We present an overview of this problem to promote public awareness, education, and to advocate a prevention strategy for this preventable injury.
Methods: Medical records of all children with treadmill-related injuries during a 6-year period (January 2001-November 2006) from 2 tertiary pediatric hospitals were reviewed.
