Laparoscopic management of müllerian duct cysts in infants.
Aminsharifi A, Afsar F, Pakbaz S Laparoscopic management of müllerian duct cysts in infants. J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Sep;46(9):1859-64 Authors: Aminsharifi A, Afsar F, Pakbaz S Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility of laparoscopic excision of pelvic müllerian duct cysts (MDCs) in infants. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three-month-old female and 13-month-old male infants presented with frequent episodes of urinary retention and were found to have large retrovesical cystic pelvic masses. Preoperative workup including abdominopelvic ultrasonography and computed tomographic scan showed bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in the baby girl and a single left anatomical kidney with hydroureteronephrosis in the baby boy, caused by the pressure effect of the mass. The pelvic mass in both infants was excised via transperitoneal laparoscopy via a retrovesical approach. RESULTS: The operative times were 140 minutes in case 1 and 160 minutes in case 2. Excellent laparoscopic visualization and magnification allowed meticulous dissection of the mass from the pelvic organs in both cases. In the female infant, a 5 × 5-cm collection located retrovesically was found 3 weeks after the operation. It contained serosanguinous fluid that was percutaneously aspirated under ultrasound guidance. Histopathologic examination showed the pelvic mass to be an MDC in both patients. Postoperative abdominopelvic sonography at 3 months showed no recurrence of the mass and resolution of hydroureteronephrosis. In the male infant, a urodynamic study 3 months after the operation showed normal bladder dynamics. No voiding difficulty was noted in regular follow-up visits at the time of this writing (7 months postoperatively). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic excision of pelvic MDCs in infants is technically feasible. It is a demanding and rarely reported procedure that offers excellent surgical exposure. Longer follow-up is necessary to see if this procedure will offer less morbidity than the open techniques. PMID: 21930005 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Giant pilomatricoma mimicking a malignant parotid mass.
Cozzi DA, d'Ambrosio G, Cirigliano E, Negro V, Iacusso C, Totonelli G, Uccini S Giant pilomatricoma mimicking a malignant parotid mass. J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Sep;46(9):1855-8 Authors: Cozzi DA, d'Ambrosio G, Cirigliano E, Negro V, Iacusso C, Totonelli G, Uccini S Abstract Pilomatricomas are benign neoplasms of the hair follicle occurring relatively often in the pediatric population. However, lesions attaining massive proportions are very rarely encountered. We describe such a case presenting in the parotid region and initially misdiagnosed as malignancy. Preoperative biopsy provided accurate diagnosis and allowed definitive surgical excision using a parotid-sparing approach. In children, giant pilomatricoma should be included into the differential diagnosis of noninflammatory masses of the salivary gland region. PMID: 21930004 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
Lower limb salvage in a 7-month-old infant using free tissue transfer.
Wechselberger G, Radauer W, Schimpl G, Kholosy H, Ensat F, Edelbauer M, Hladik M Lower limb salvage in a 7-month-old infant using free tissue transfer. J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Sep;46(9):1852-4 Authors: Wechselberger G, Radauer W, Schimpl G, Kholosy H, Ensat F, Edelbauer M, Hladik M Abstract Free flap reconstruction in infants is extremely rare. A seven-and-a-half-month-old male infant sustained an extensive soft tissue defect on his left knee caused by extravasation of an intraosseous arterenol infusion. A free latissimus dorsi flap was successfully performed for soft tissue reconstruction. Indications, advantages, and outcome of the procedure are discussed.

Primary renal synovial sarcoma in a 13-year-old boy.
Scarpato KR, Makari JH, Agaronov M, Balarezo F, Parikh N, Finck CM, Ferrer FA Primary renal synovial sarcoma in a 13-year-old boy. J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Sep;46(9):1849-51 Authors: Scarpato KR, Makari JH, Agaronov M, Balarezo F, Parikh N, Finck CM, Ferrer FA Abstract Primary renal synovial sarcoma is a rare entity with fewer than 40 cases reported in the literature. Its clinical presentation and radiographic features, namely, its often complex cystic appearance, make it difficult to differentiate from other benign or malignant renal lesions. Although there are certain consistent morphological and immunohistochemical features, diagnosis ultimately depends on molecular studies. Prognosis is poor, and there currently exists no defined treatment protocol. Herein, we describe the youngest reported case of primary renal synovial sarcoma in the literature.

Gigantic ureteral diverticulum or pelvic cyst?
Slavkovic A, Vacic N, Jovanovic Z, Zivkovic V Gigantic ureteral diverticulum or pelvic cyst? J Pediatr Surg. 2011 Sep;46(9):1846-8 Authors: Slavkovic A, Vacic N, Jovanovic Z, Zivkovic V Abstract Ureteral diverticulum is a rare anomaly, and very few reported cases concerning it can be found in literature. We report a 3.5-year-old boy who presented with urinary tract infection, rare voiding, and straining during voiding. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic pelvic mass. At surgical intervention, however, a massive ureteral cystic structure communicating both with the ureteropelvic and ureterovesical portion of the ureter was observed. Finding the presence of a smooth muscle layer, the pathologist confirmed this to be a true diverticulum. The fact that fenoterol (which was used for the prevention of preterm labor in the boy's mother) significantly decreases frequency and amplitude of upper urinary tract contractions suggests that fenoterol treatment might have influenced the occurrence of this abnormality.
