An implantable ventricular assist device became smaller and has been used for small body size patients. However, it is still challenging to determine whether it is implantable for pediatric patients. The preoperative computed tomography virtual simulation provided spatial information among the pump, intracardiac structures, and extracardiac structures, which was very useful to assess the implantability for borderline children.

BACKGROUND Perineal injuries affecting the scrotum and penis are rare in pediatric patients, owing to the protective anatomy of the male genitalia. However, when such injuries do occur, timely surgical intervention is crucial. This kind of damage might not be life-threatening but could cause functional disorders and have a huge impact on the patients' psychological condition if not treated appropriately, especially as they enter puberty.

Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a distinct subtype of inflammatory myofibroblastoma tumor (IMT) that is recognized as a rare malignant tumor characterized by anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positivity, significant aggressiveness, treatment challenges, and a poor prognosis. We report on the case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a large tumor, and the pathology results following a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of EIMS.
