There are numerous etiologies of benign vulvo-vaginal tumefactions in children. However, the etiological diagnosis can usually be based on clinical data after careful examination. Para-urethral cysts are the main cause of labial and vestibular tumefactions; they are generally cured by simple puncture. Solid vaginal tumors are uncommon, but they always require surgical resection in order to exclude the exceptional and severe malignant tumours. Neonatal hydrocolpos is frequent in our experience and must always be treated surgically; associated malformations are frequent and must be systematically searched for. Ectopic prolapsed ureterocele and circular prolapse of the urethral mucosa are easily recognizable and need surgical treatment.

Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor of the cerebrum (MVNT) is a rare tumefactive lesion requiring differentiation from glial tumors. Multinodular and vacuolating posterior fossa lesions of unknown significance (MV-PLUS) were initially reported in 2019 as posterior fossa lesions with characteristics similar to MVNT. MV-PLUS is often considered as a "leave-me-alone lesion" not necessitating surgical intervention.

Background: The perivascular spaces of the brain are also known as Virchow-Robin spaces (VRSs). Dilated Virchow-Robin spaces in the brainstem are rare and mainly cause symptoms due to obstructive hydrocephalus, less frequently because of their size, mass effect, and impact on eloquent structures.
Case Illustration: We present a patient with giant tumefactive VRS with hydrocephalus and neurological symptoms who was treated with endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) followed by microscopic cyst fenestration.
Solitary Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesions in Children: Clinical and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features, Pathologic Characteristics, and Outcomes.

Department of Neurology, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: Isolated tumefactive demyelinating lesions (≥2 cm) may be difficult to distinguish from contrast-enhancing brain tumors, central nervous system infections, and (rarely) tissue dysgenesis, which may all occur with increased signal on T2-weighted images. Establishing an accurate diagnosis is essential for management, and we delineate our single-center experience.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of medical records, imaging, and biopsy specimens for patients under 18 years presenting with isolated tumefactive demyelination over a 10-year period.

A minority of initial multiple sclerosis (MS) presentations clinically or radiologically resemble other central nervous system (CNS) pathologies, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) or tumefactive demyelination (atypical demyelination presentations). With the aim of better defining the long-term outcomes of this group we have performed a retrospective cohort comparison of atypical demyelination versus 'typical' MS presentations. Twenty-seven cases with atypical presentations (both first and subsequent demyelinating events) were identified and compared with typical MS cases.

Wandering spleen is a rare condition in children that is often caused by the loss or weakening of the splenic ligaments. Its clinical presentation is variable; 64% of children with wandering spleen have splenic torsion as a complication. A 13-year-old boy who had been showing abdominal pain in the hypogastric region accompanied by vomit and an enormous tumefaction in the suprapubic region came to our observation.
