Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors in a Three-Year-Old Child.

Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) are extremely rare malignant tumors deriving from the sex cord stroma. An abdominal mass and a virilization syndrome dominate the clinical symptoms. This particular tumor poses diagnostic and therapeutic problems.

Retrospective Comparative Study between Duplay and Koff Methods in Repair of Distal Hypospadias.

Background: Hypospadias repair is a complicated surgery even in the best of hands. To date, there is a lack of consensus on which surgical technique offers more favourable post-operative outcomes. The present work was undertaken to evaluate and compare the outcomes and complications rates of two single-stage techniques widely used to repair primary anterior hypospadias, namely Thiersch-Duplay Tubularized Plate Urethroplasty and Koff Urethral Mobilisation and Advancement.

Penetrating Chest Trauma in a Child Caused by a Fall on a Metallic Bar: A Case Report.

Penetrating chest trauma in children is an uncommon condition. Patients may be asymptomatic or in a critical state. Visceral and vascular damage are frequently present when penetrating objects enter the thoracic cavity.

Neglected trauma-induced testicular torsion: Clinical, sonographic, and surgical correlation in a 13-year-old adolescent.

Post-traumatic testicular torsion is a rare condition, accounting for approximately 4%-8% of all reported cases of testicular torsion in the literature. Prompt clinical suspicion and intervention are crucial; as testicular torsion is considered a medical and surgical emergency that may lead to testicular necrosis. Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in assessing the integrity of the traumatized scrotum and facilitating early detection of associated testicular torsion.

Posterior mediastinal teratoma presenting as an abdominal mass in a child: A case report.

We report the case of a 2.5-year-old child admitted for abdominal distension, whose imaging revealed a large posterior mediastinal cystic mass, with a tissue component, a calcification, and a minimal fat component. The ultrasound- guided biopsy led to the diagnosis of a benign extragonadal germ cell tumor, also called mature teratoma or dermoid cyst, whose mediastinal localization is rare, often localized in the anterior mediastinum, and rarely in the posterior mediastinum.
