The case involves a 10-year-old child who underwent a left radical nephrectomy for what was believed to be a Wilms’ tumor. Histopath examination indicated a benign vascular lesion, subsequently determined to be an anastomosing hemangioma of the kidney. A comparison with the previously cited pediatric patients with renal vascular tumors is provided, and the inconsistent diagnostic terminologies for these conditions are highlighted. The therapeutic implications of these predominantly benign renal tumors, in the context of the much more frequently encountered malignant neoplasms in children, are additionally discussed.

Pathological Report

Wilms Tumor (WT) is an extremely rare neoplasia in adults. It represents 95% and 1% of all renal tumors, in adults and children respectively. Clinical symptoms are also distinct between adults and children. In adults, symptoms are usually abdominal pain and hematuria, on the other hand, pediatric patients frequently present with an asymptomatic abdominal mass. The recommended treatment for WT in adults follows protocols established for pediatric patients. Currently, the 5-year overall survival rate for adults with WT is of approximately 90%. The adoption of multimodal therapy systematized, and proposed by current protocols, allowed the results to become much more robust, with a significant improvement from less than 30% to 90%. However, recent reviews suggest a worse outcome for adults when compared to children, even when submitted to the same treatment regimen, and comparable according to histology and tumor stage.We present a case of a 26 years-old male patient, who underwent surgery to treat a solid renal mass. Pathological report demonstrated a Wilms tumor. The patiente also received adjuvant chemotherapy with dactinomycin and vincristine. After 12 months follow-up, patient has no evidence of disease.

Anastomosing Hemangioma

Anastomosing hemangioma is a rare neoplastic vascular lesion, histologically mimicking angiosarcoma. It is predominantly composed of irregularly anastomosing sinusoidal-like spaces lined by endothelial cells with minimal atypia, a frequently hobnail morphology, and minimally invasive margins. Since its original description in the genitourinary system, an increasing number of anastomosing hemangiomas have been reported, localized deep in the body in various organs, always with similar histologic features. It is more frequently asymptomatic, often discovered incidentally by imaging studies, owing to coexisting benign or malignant tumors. In renal cases, the most frequent clinical context is end-stage renal disease. There is overwhelming evidence of the benign nature of the lesion and an accurate diagnosis could prevent overtreatment. The differential diagnosis includes other benign vascular tumors, well-differentiated angiosarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and other vascular-rich neoplasms. We review the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of this peculiar lesion with an emphasis on the differential diagnosis.

Moyamoya is an uncommon disease that presents with stenoocclusion of the major vasculature at the base of the brain and associated collateral vessel formation. Many pediatric patients with moyamoya present with transient ischemic attacks or complete occlusions. The authors report the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with posterior fossa hemorrhage and was treated with an emergency suboccipital craniotomy for evacuation. After emergency surgery, an angiogram was performed, and the patient was diagnosed with moyamoya disease. Six months later, the patient was treated for moyamoya using direct and indirect revascularization; after surgery there was excellent vascularization in both regions of the bypass and no further progression of moyamoya changes. This case illustrates a rare example of intracerebral hemorrhage associated with moyamoya changes in the posterior vascularization in a pediatric patient and subsequent use of direct and indirect revascularization to reduce the risk of future hemorrhage and moyamoya progression.

Microbiological Analyses

Linear gingival erythema (LGE), formally referred as HIV-gingivitis, is the most common form of HIV-associated periodontal disease in HIV-infection. These lesions were recently evaluated as a possible form of erythematous oral candidosis, mainly caused by Candida albicans. Other species are also being associated such as C. tropicalis, C. stellatoidea, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata and C. dubliniensis, that was identified in some HIV-infected subjects. This case report demonstrates the presence of typical LGE lesions in six HIV-infected children, also investigates the etiologic agent by microbiological exams and correlates this oral manifestation with patients’ systemic conditions. Microbiological analyses showed positive growth for Candida spp in all patients, all of whom had severe imunessupression. After antifungal medication, the regression of lesions could be note. The presence of LGE in pediatric patients with AIDS may indicate its feature as a predictive marker in progression of HIV-infection in children.

The Central Nervous System

Studies suggest that the bidirectional relationship existent between the gut microbiome (GM) and the central nervous system (CNS), or so-called the microbiome–gut–brain axis (MGBA), is involved in diverse neuropsychiatric diseases in children and adults. In pediatric age, most studies have focused on patients with autism. However, evidence of the role played by the MGBA in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, is still scanty and heterogeneous. This review aims to provide the current evidence on the functioning of the MGBA in pediatric patients with ADHD and the specific role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) in this interaction, as well as the potential of the GM as a therapeutic target for ADHD. We will explore: (1) the diverse communication pathways between the GM and the CNS; (2) changes in the GM composition in children and adolescents with ADHD and association with ADHD pathophysiology; (3) influence of the GM on the ω-3 PUFA imbalance characteristically found in ADHD; (4) interaction between the GM and circadian rhythm regulation, as sleep disorders are frequently comorbid with ADHD; (5) finally, we will evaluate the most recent studies on the use of probiotics in pediatric patients with ADHD.

AbstractPrimitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) are very rare tumors that belong to a family of malignant neoplasms of tiny round cells which are derived from the neural crest. This report discusses a rare case of an adult woman with esophageal PNET, confirmed by immunohistochemistry, that presented with metastasis to the pineal gland. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a PNET with these features. Despite surgery and chemotherapeutic treatment, our case has shown disease progression.
