Intramedullary spinal cord ganglioglioma: Case report and comparative literature review.

Introduction: Intramedullary spinal cord gangliogliomas (ISCGGs) account for 35-40% of all intramedullary tumors in children. These tumors have a different algorithm for treatment and prognosis than other medullary tumors, such as astrocytomas and spinal ependymomas. The objective of the study was to review the literature and examine an approach to diagnosing and treating this tumor based on a case report of ISCGG diagnosed at our center.

[Cranial fasciitis: a case report and review of the literature].

Cranial fasciitis is an uncommon, rapidly-growing, benign, non-tumoural, myofibroblastic lesion of the skull, found mainly among young children in their first year of life. It is histologically similar to nodular fasciitis and pseudosarcomatous fasciitis. It may mimic more aggressive pathologies, such as sarcomatosis or histiocytosis, due to its rapid, nodular growth in subcutaneous tissue.
