Advanced but not mild liver disease is a predictor of decreased survival in children with cystic fibrosis, with far greater impact in females: A 27-year real-life cohort study.

Background: Improved survival of children with CF has increased our need to understand the relevance of cystic fibrosis-associated liver disease (CFLD). We assessed the impact of liver disease and disease severity on the survival of children with cystic fibrosis.

Methods: A real life, single center cohort study with 27 years follow up was conducted.

Mature testicular teratoma in children: multifaceted tumors on ultrasound.

Objective: To describe the different ultrasound (US) findings of mature testicular hamartomas in children.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study from January 2000 to July 2012 that reviewed the clinical, laboratory, and US findings of 7 children with a pathologic diagnosis of mature teratoma of the testis. All patients in the study received surgery (tumorectomy or orchiectomy), and the material was examined by the institution's Pathology Department.
