Small-cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma (NECC) is a rare histology, and diagnosis and treatment of this condition are challenging because of its rarity, non-specific abdominopelvic symptoms, and less favorable prognosis compared to other cervical cancers. Here, we present a case of a 20-year-old patient diagnosed with small-cell NECC, defined within a cervical polyp, initially mimicking a benign lesion. Because of the difficulty in diagnosis, the patient underwent thorough diagnostics and interventions, including imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry.

Background: Widespread adoption of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) requires evidence it does not cause higher radiation dose than conventional single-energy CT (SECT). While a few publications involving pediatric patients exist, most have focused on small cohorts. Hence, there is still a need for studies that ascertain what radiation doses are expected in larger populations that include representative ranges of patient sizes and ages.

Background: Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphocytic disorder. Unicentric CD (UCD) has an excellent long-term prognosis after surgical excision; however, multicentric CD (MCD) has a severe clinical course with poor outcomes.
Study Design: We analyzed the clinical presentation of 28 patients treated at a single institution from 1995 to 2017.

Actinomycosis is a relatively uncommon bacterial disease of childhood, especially when presenting as deep-seated infections. Only 10% of affected patients are younger than 18 years of age. In children, cervical actinomycosis is the most common form of clinical presentation, and among the abdominopelvic form, renal abscesses are rare.
