Case report: Mesenteric lipoblastoma

A child with mesenteric lipoblastoma is presented. The computed tomographic (CT) features of this unusual tumour are described and correlated with the sonographic findings. The pre-operative diagnosis may be suggested by these features.

Non-invasive Diagnosis of Pyomyositis

Two children, aged 6 and 8 years, were admitted to the hospital because of fever, pain, and tenderness over the muscular masses of the thigh and calf, respectively. The presumptive diagnosis of pyomyositis was confirmed by ultrasound studies. Antibiotic treatment was administered in both cases while one child also required surgical drainage of the muscular suppuration. Complete recovery was achieved in both cases. Performance of ultrasound studies is indicated whenever pyomyositis is suspected.

Persistent Müllerian duct remnantin a newborn

Mullerian duct remnant in a newborn is a rare finding. The presented case illustrates well the ultrasonic and radiologic features of the entity.

Evolution of multiple mycotic aneurysms

Mycotic aneurysms have been recognised for nearly a century. 1 They carry significant morbidity and mortality and need urgent treatment. Multiple lesions are rare, but have been described in various locations. 2-s We report a case of multiple mycotic aneurysms in branches of the abdominal aorta, with a rare documentat ion of their progress over 1 month between two consecutive angiograms. Surgery or alternative treatment is recommended to prevent further complications. 3-s Successful selective coil embolisations cured the patient.
