Infantile digital fibromatosis (IDF), also called inclusion body fibromatosis is an uncommon benign tumour occurring in the digits of young children. In about a third of cases, it is congenital and the diagnosis is based on the presence of peculiar intracytoplasmic inclusions on histology. Recurrence rate post-surgery is high. However, spontaneous regression has been reported. We present a case of a 5-month-old infant who had excision of a right second toe mass, which has been present from birth. Histological examination revealed this to be infantile digital fibromatosis. To the best of our knowledge, no report of this has been made in Nigeria. It is important that this diagnosis be entertained in young children with masses on the digits as this will influence the management instituted. Keywords: Fibromatosis; digits; inclusion body.

Review Of The Literature

Recurrence rate of renal cell carcinoma in the lungs after five years of nephrectomy is 93%. The occurrence of RCC after 16 years of nephrectomy as pulmonary metastasis is rare and needs to be considered in patient presenting with pulmonary nodules after a long interval since nephrectomy.

Objetives: To report a case of dorsolumbosacral agenesis and to make a systematic review of the literature focused on prenatal diagnosis. Materials and methods: We report a case of a 32year old pregnant woman, with a 30 week pregnanacy, without prenatal care, the fetus is diagnosed with dorsolumbosacral agenesis. The mother request voluntary termination of pregnancy. A systematic review of the literature focused on prenatal diagnosis of thos condiction is performed. Results: We found 50 papers, 6 met the inclusión critiria. Three of them with prenatal diagnosis. In the first case the diagnosis was made at 13 weeks of gestation and termination of preganancy was requested. In the second case corresponded an biamniotic bicorial twin preganancy. One normal feto and one presented dorsolumbosacral agenesis. The diagnosis was made in the second trimester. The pregnancy continued until 34 week of gestation and the affected neonate had perinatal death. The third case, the diagnosis was made at 18 weeks and a male newborn of 2990gr was born at 37 weeks of gestation. Conclusion: Dorsolumbosacral agenesis is a very severe form of caudal regresión syndrome, with only a few cases reportted in the literature. To the best of our knowladge this is the fourth case reported with prenatal diagnosis.

Scrotal Mass

Abstract Lipoblastoma is a tumor of adipose tissue that usually occurs in young children. Most lipoblastomas occur on the extremities, trunk, and head and neck, and most have rearrangements of the 8q region. We describe a lipoblastoma in a 12-month-old boy who presented with a rapidly enlarging scrotal mass. Electron microscopy revealed features consistent with immature adipocytes, and cytogenetic analysis revealed the following karyotype: 57,XY,+4,+6,+7,der(8)t(8;12) (q22;q13), +der(8)t(8;12) (q22;q13), +9,+10,+12,−16,+17,+der(18)t(8;18)(q22;q23),+19,+20. Interestingly, the breakpoint on chromosome 12 (q13) is the same as that seen in lipoblastomas. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such a complex karyotype in lipoblastoma and adds to the expanding list of karyotypic abnormalities seen in such tumors.
