Pathology Reports

Wilms’ tumor is the most frequent renal malignancy in childhood with the highest incidence per year, approximately 7,8 cases per 1.000.000in children under 15 years-old and frequently occurred in 2-5 years of age (highest incidences in 3 years-old). There are many differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal tumors and the correct differential diagnosis are detrimental to the prescribed treatments for the patients.Medical imaging along with pathology reports is a precise way to determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Imaging gives information about tumor extension and distant metastasis, especially useful for indicating pre-operative chemotherapy.

Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

Genital warts are common relative to other verrucous lesions of the anogenital region. Consideration of the differential diagnosis of verrucous anogenital lesions is necessary, however, to make a correct diagnosis consistently and to avoid futile, painful, and possibly traumatic attempts at treatment. In this report, I describe a child with a history suspicious for sexual abuse who was treated with inappropriate measures because of misdiagnosis of perianal lymphangioma circumscriptum as genital warts. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of lymphangioma is presented. CASE REPORT A 5-year-old Hispanic boy was referred by his pediatrician to the Dermatology Service with an eruption of red papules on the left buttock and perianal region.

Background & Objective: Renal tumors are a common finding in diagnostic imaging; these lesions usually are solid or cystic, benign or malignant, and the correct diagnosis may be difficult. The current study aims at to determine the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of Wilms tumor taking histopathology as gold standard. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried at the Department of Radiology, The Children’s Hospital & Institute of Child Health Lahore over 6 months from March 2019 to September 2019. The study involved 125 children of both genders aged between 2 years to 14 years presenting with a neoplastic mass in the retroperitoneum on ultrasound abdomen during initial workup. These children were assessed on MRI for the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. Later the diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology which was taken as gold standard and the diagnosis of MRI was judged accordingly as true/false and positive/negative. A written informed consent was obtained from every patient. Results: The mean age of the children was 5.8±3.9 years having a male predominance with male to female ratio of 1.8:1. Wilms tumor was suspected in 13 (10.4%) children on MRI. The diagnosis of Wilms tumor was confirmed in 13 (10.4%) children on histopathology. MRI was found to be 76.9% sensitive, 97.3% specific and 95.2% accurate with positive and negative predictive values of 76.9% and 97.3% respectively. Conclusion: In the present study, MRI was found to be 95.2% accurate in the differential diagnosis of Wilms tumor in children presenting with retroperitoneal mass which along with its non-invasive and radiation free nature advocates the preferred use of MRI in the diagnostic evaluation of such children in future oncologic practice.

AbstractCardiac amyloidosis is a rare and often-misdiagnosed disorder. Among other forms of deposits affecting the heart, immunoglobulin-derived light-chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is the most serious form of the disease. Delay in diagnosis and treatment may have a major impact on the prognosis and outcomes of patients. This review focuses on the presentation of the disorder and current novel approaches to the diagnosis of cardiac involvement in AL amyloidosis.
