A 12-year-old girl with no previous comorbidities presented with a left gluteal swelling. 18 F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated heterogenous, moderate hypermetabolism localizing to a very large pelvic soft tissue mass with extension through the left greater sciatic notch into the left deep gluteal space. Core biopsy of the mass revealed INI1-negative myoepithelial carcinoma.

Synovial herniation pits are benign, round radiolucent lesions surrounded by a thin sclerotic rim within the superolateral aspect of the proximal femoral neck that are most commonly seen in the physically active adult population. Here we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first pediatric case of synovial herniation pits showing focal FDG uptake on a PET/CT scan in a 15 year old boy with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

A 4-year-old boy with Nuclear factor-kappa B Essential Modulator deficiency syndrome presented with encephalopathy post haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. MRI demonstrated T2/FLAIR-hyperintensities in the posterior cerebral cortex concerning for posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Clinical improvement was appreciated following withdrawal of the suspected offending pharmacological agent (Cyclosporine).

99m Tc-MAG3 diuresis renography is a noninvasive functional imaging technique used to assess clearance of radiotracer in a dilated urinary tract under high diuresis. It is commonly performed in patients to diagnose functionally significant urinary tract obstruction. In some pediatric patients, sedation is required to enable imaging.

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy (SLNB) has demonstrated accuracy in the axillary staging of breast cancer patients. Despite variability in selection criteria and technique, an SLN is consistently identified in approximately 96% of cases and in most series predicts the status of remaining axillary LNs in >95% of cases. The false-negative rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was originally reported as 5%-10% (sensitivity 90%-95%), but improved rates are attainable by experienced surgeons.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a minimally invasive technique which has been well validated for the diagnosis, staging, monitoring of response to therapy, and disease surveillance of adult oncology patients. Traditionally the value of PET and PET/computed tomography (CT) hybrid imaging has been less clearly defined for paediatric oncology. However recent evidence has emerged regarding the diagnostic utility of these modalities, and they are becoming increasingly important tools in the evaluation and monitoring of children with known or suspected malignant disease.

Purpose: To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, advantages, and limitations of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification compared with conventional karyotype analysis in the investigation of contributing factors to recurrent pregnancy loss.
Method: A cohort of 284 patients underwent side-by-side analysis of products of conception by both conventional karyotyping and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification with direct comparison of results.
Results: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was shown to enable a diagnosis for an additional 47 (16.

Objective: This study explores the experience at Sydney Children's Hospital (SCH) managing children with acute mastoiditis and establishes a robust treatment algorithm.
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients admitted to SCH with an ICD-10 coding of "Mastoiditis" from 1 January 1996 through 31 December 2006 inclusive. Criteria assessed included demographic characteristics, clinical features, symptom duration and treatment initiated by the general practitioner.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of quantitative gravity-assisted drainage (GAD) using >50% residual activity as an indicator to confirm obstruction in diuretic renography in the investigation of hydronephrosis and hydroureteronephrosis in infants and children. This was evaluated in 2 groups: furosemide clearance half-time (t 1/2) > 20 min (obstructed range) and t 1/2 = 10-20 min (indeterminate range).
Methods: Two hundred children (155 boys, 45 girls; age range, 2 d to 16 y; median age, 26 wk) were studied over a 2-y period.
