Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) of the mediastinum is an aggressive tumor that is extremely rare. To date, only 24 cases of the mediastinal MRT have been reported in adults and 9 cases in the pediatric age group under the age of 18 years. We report a rare case of such tumor and review the literature on its clinical and imaging features as well as its treatment and prognostic outcomes.

Schwannomas of the paranasal sinus are uncommon. Less than 4% of schwannomas involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, even less in the pediatric age group. A case of schwannoma arising in maxillary sinus in a 2.5-year-old Chinese boy is reported. The basis for discussion of this case is the exceptional rarity of sinonasal schwannoma in pediatric patients.

ABSTRACT The patella is an uncommon site for skeletal tuberculosis. Its incidence is limited to a few anecdotal case reports or series in the literature. The presence of this clinical entity in the pediatric age group is even rarer. A high index of suspicion and early clinicoradiological diagnosis are the mainstay of treatment coupled with compliant antitubercular treatment. The effective management also mitigates its spread to whole of the knee joint and subsequent arthrosis. A rare case of patella tuberculosis with effective management and good functional outcome in a 9-year-old male child is presented here with relevant details.

Incarcerated inguinal hernia is not an uncommon occurrence and the rate of incarceration in inguinal hernias has been variably reported between 3 and 16% with higher incidence among infants. Sigmoid colon as a content of hernia is itself an uncommon occurrence and associated impacted large and hard fecolith makes it a rare case in pediatric age group. Only single published case report could be found depicting these findings in young age group. Here we report 1-year-old child presented with 24 hours history of obstructed left-sided inguinal hernia.
