Bilateral Extrarenal Inguinal Nephroblastomatosis - A Rare Event
Objective: To report an unusual case of extrarenal nephroblastomatosis involving bilateral inguinal regions. Background: Nephroblastomatosis and nephrogenic rests are usually found in neonatal kidneys sub-clinically or associated with Wilms tumor. Extrarenal occurrence of this immature renal tissue is reported in literature as an incidental finding seen in inguinal canal, retroperitonium, along...
full textBilateral Renal Dysplasia, Nephroblastomatosis, and Bronchial Stenosis. A New Syndrome?
Bilateral nephroblastomatosis (NB) is an uncommon renal anomaly characterized by multiple confluent nephrogenic rests scattered through both kidneys, with only a limited number of cases reported in the medical literature. Some of these children may have associated either Perlman or Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and others do not demonstrate syndromic features. We report a full-term boy with antev...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in the pediatric patient population. However, renal involvement as the primary manifestation of ALL is rare. We report a case of a 4-year-old boy with bilateral renal lesions resembling nephroblastic rests as the first finding of early stage ALL preceding hematological changes and subsequent classic clinical findings by two weeks....
full textPediatric oncologic endosurgery
Despite increasing popularity of minimal-invasive techniques in the pediatric population, their use in diagnosis and management of pediatric malignancy is still debated. Moreover, there is limited evidence to clarify this controversy due to low incidence of each individual type of pediatric tumor, huge diversity of the disease entity, heterogeneity of surgical technique, and lack of well-design...
full textPediatric Oncologic Emergencies.
The overall prognosis for most pediatric cancers is good. Mortality for all childhood cancers combined is approximately half what it was in 1975, and the survival rates of many malignancies continue to improve. However, the incidence of childhood cancer is significant and the related emergencies that develop acutely carry significant morbidity and mortality. Emergency providers who can identify...
full textNew frontiers in pediatric oncologic imaging
As imaging technologies advance, a paradigm shift is emerging in the assessment of tumor response to therapy. The traditional method of measuring tumor size may not reflect changes in tumor viability induced by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Today's oncologists and radiologists seek objective methods for assessing tumor metabolism and blood flow, measures that provide earlier, more accurat...
