Operative Management of Intra-abdominal Lymphatic Malformations in Children: A Single Tertiary Center Experience.

Background: Intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations (LMs) are relatively rare congenital anomalies and can be divided into intra- and retroperitoneal subgroups. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes after surgical resection of intraperitoneal LMs in children.

Methods: The records of all patients ≤16 years of age with intraperitoneal LMs managed at our tertiary center between 2007-2022 were reviewed.

ErbB signaling is a potential therapeutic target for vascular lesions with fibrous component.

Background: Sporadic venous malformation (VM) and angiomatosis of soft tissue (AST) are benign, congenital vascular anomalies affecting venous vasculature. Depending on the size and location of the lesion, symptoms vary from motility disturbances to pain and disfigurement. Due to the high recurrence of the lesions, more effective therapies are needed.

Venous Malformations and Blood Coagulation in Children.

Introduction: Venous malformations (VMs) are congenital low-flow lesions with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. An increasing number of studies link VMs to coagulation abnormalities, especially to elevated D-dimer and decreased fibrinogen. This condition, termed localized intravascular coagulopathy (LIC), may pose a risk for hemostatic complications.

A case of congenital tuberculosis with a favorable outcome in a full term neonate.

This case of congenital tuberculosis (TB) emphasizes that TB should be suspected in newborns whose parents are from areas with high incidence of TB or who present with symptoms of an infection unresponsive to wide-spectrum antibiotics.

Intra-articular venous malformation of the knee in children: magnetic resonance imaging findings and significance of synovial involvement.

Background: Intra-articular venous malformations of the knee are an uncommon cause of unilateral knee pain in children. Timely diagnosis is important because lesions with intrasynovial involvement can lead to joint space hemorrhage and secondary cartilage damage.

Objective: To describe our tertiary center's experience of diagnostics and typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.

Plunging ranula - patient characteristics, treatment, and comparison between different populations.

Objectives: To review our clinical experience and characteristics of Finnish patients with plunging ranula and compare our results with reports from other populations.

Design: A retrospective study from the electronic hospital records between 2005 and 2016.

Setting: The Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery of Helsinki University Hospital, Finland.

Sclerotherapy complications of peripheral venous malformations.

Background Sclerotherapy is often the primary treatment for peripheral venous malformations. It is mostly sufficient alone, but can be combined with other endovascular techniques. Despite its mini-invasiveness, it is not without potentially severe complications.

Complications of sclerotherapy for 75 head and neck venous malformations.

Sclerotherapy is one treatment option for head and neck venous malformations (VMs). Evaluation of complication risks is, however, essential to improve its safety. We aimed to systematically report sclerotherapy complications by means of the Clavien-Dindo classification and to distinguish factors predisposing to complications.

Testicular tumors in children and adolescents.

Objective: To analyze the spectrum of testicular tumors in children in an unselected population-based series, as well as the results of testis-preserving surgery.

Patients And Methods: Our hospital database was analyzed for operations for testicular tumors from 1981 to 2006. The clinical data and findings during follow up (4.
