We report the case of a 6 year old patient who started with abdominal pain and left sciatica, which did not improve after applying symptomatic treatment. A complete analytical and imaging study was performed, which showed a lesion in left S1 corresponding to Garrè's chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy of the lesion. Treatment was established with cort...

An 18-year-old man presented after undergoing multiple investigations for abdominal pain. Retrograde double-balloon enteroscopy showed a protruding red lesion in the ileum with small ulcers, approximately 75 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve, resulting in an intussusception. An inverted Meckel's diverticulum was strongly suspected. Pressure was applied to the protruding lesion using contrast m...

A 6-day-old, known to have transposition of the great vessels, received care in the neonatal intensive care unit at a tertiary care center. A computed tomography scan was performed for abdominal distention and upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which revealed a "mass lesion" in the left liver lobe. Analysis of antecedent events and the clinical and laboratory course uncovered an iatrogenic etiolo...

We performed endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) on a patient presenting with an asymptomatic peripancreatic mass-like lesion. The aspiration cytologic finding was class II. On positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), there were hot spots in the left supra-clavicular lymph node and the peripancreatic lesion. A whole biopsy of the left supra-clavicular...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. CFT of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric CFTs reported in English literature. This benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

The appendix is one of the most common sites for carcinoid tumors. Most carcinoids are found in appendices removed incidentally at laparotomy for conditions unrelated to acute appendicitis. We describe the case of a 13-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant (RLQ), with nausea and decreased appetite for the previous 2 days. A physical examination favoreda d...

Abstract Background Primary pediatric liver tumors are scarce. Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the (UESL) embraces nine to fifteen percent hepatic neoplasms. Mesenchymal hamartoma (MHL) is second most prevalent benign neoplasm following infantile hemangioendothelioma. Case presentation A 6-year-old female child presented with vague diffuse abdominal pain and palpable right lumbar mass by ...

Abdominal traumatism (AT) produces lesions in the wall or content (viscera, mesos, vascular ducts, biliopancreatic, urinary tract). The abdomen can be injured isolation, although about a third of pediatric polytraumatisms are associated with AT. AT implies high vital risk due to two circumstances: hemorrhage injury solid organs blood vessels and peritonitis perforation hollow viscera. global mo...
