Background: Breast phyllodes tumor has a distinct histologic appearance. There are no pediatric phyllodes tumors of the bladder in English literature reported. Case report: A 2-year-old boy presented with a urinary infection and obstructive urinary symptoms. A 3-cm slow-growing bladder mass revealed by repeated transabdominal ultrasonography was initially considered a ureterocele. Cystoscopic and laparoscopic exploration using pneumovesicum confirmed the diagnosis of a bladder neck tumor. Histologically, the features were of a benign phyllodes tumor, morphologically similar to those seen in breast tissue...

Background: Branchial cleft cysts or fistulae are common in pediatric surgical pathology and are cured by surgery. Lesions in this area may not show the classical features of a cyst or duct lined by squamous or respiratory epithelium and other differential diagnoses should be considered. Case report: A seven-year-old otherwise healthy boy presented with bilateral swelling of the lower neck and reported intermittent secretion of clear fluid on the right side. Excision of the right sided lesion revealed an ectopic salivary gland, the excision of the left showed only subtle fibrosis...

BACKGROUND: Skene's glands are the two largest paraurethral glands and the female homologue to the prostate glands. When their ducts become obstructed, cysts may be formed. This usually occurs in adult women. Most cases reported in pediatrics are neonatal, with a single report in a prepubertal girl. CASE REPORT: We present a 25-month-old girl with a 7 mm nontender, solid, oval, pink-orange paraurethral mass, with no change over a five-month period. Histopathology revealed the cyst to be lined with transitional epithelium consistent with a Skene's gland cyst...

Introduction: Cellular neurothekeoma is a benign tumor that mainly occurs in young children and adolescents. The aberrant expression of transcription factor E3 (TFE3) has not been reported in cellular neurothekeoma previously. Case report: We report four cellular neurothekeoma with aberrant immunohistochemical expression of TFE3 protein. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed no TFE3 gene rearrangement or amplification. Discussion/Conclusion: TEF3 protein expression may not be related to TFE3 gene translocation in cellular neurothekeoma...

Background: Congenital epulis is a benign gingival tumor whose differential diagnosis includes other oral-facial masses such as teratoma, hemangioma, lymphatic malformation and dermoid cysts. This tumor can cause obstruction of the airway or feeding problems in the newborn. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Case Report: We present a case of congenital epulis, diagnosed prenatally with ultrasonography. Conclusion: Although difficult, a defined prenatal image of congenital epulis is possible by means of accurate high-resolution ultrasonography...

BACKGROUND: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease commonly seen in preterm infants. It is characterized by delayed development of the alveoli and lung fibrosis. Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is an inflammatory driver that plays a proinflammatory role mainly through the P38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. METHODS: Newborn rat pups were kept under air or oxygen at >60% concentration. Lung tissues were collected at postnatal days (P) 1, 4, 7, and 10 to observe pathological changes and take measurements...

Background: Yolk sac tumor is a germ cell tumor (GCT) that occurs in infants and adolescents and affects various sites. There is a trend to treat pediatric renal tumors before a tissue diagnosis. We report a renal yolk sac tumor clinically misdiagnosed as Wilms tumor, based on ultrasound (US) and MRI. Case Report: This 21-month-old male infant was discovered to have a space occupying lesion in the right kidney. Because the tumor was large, initial radiotherapy preceded surgical resection. Histologically, the tumor was a yolk sac tumor...

Objective: We explored the frequency of TP53 gene mutations in chorangiomas (CA) and chorangiomatosis (CM). Materials and -methods: By Sanger sequencing, we evaluated mutations in exons 4-6 of the TP53 gene in CM and CA regions of placentas. Results: In total, 7/11(63.6%) CAs and 24/26 (92.3%) CMs had TP53 mutations, with a significantly higher frequency in the latter. Mutations in both groups predominately involved exon 4, most commonly at the 119th C. The mutation types at the 119th C were C/G and G/G. Among the patients with exon 4 mutations at the 119th C, C/G mutations, the most common type, were observed more frequently in the CM group (63...
