Review Of The Literature

Goodpasture’s syndrome (GPS) remains a very rare disease entity in the pediatric population characterized by the presence of pulmonary hemorrhage and rapidly evolving glomerulonephritis. We hereby describe the case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with renal failure and was diagnosed with GPS. A brief review of the literature in regard to data on demographics, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis for renal recovery is also provided.

Renal Malignancies

Localized Cystic Disease of the Kidney (LCDK) is an extremely rare benign disease in pediatric population. Although its management is conservative and generally requires no treatment, the unfamiliarity with the disease can expose such patients to misdiagnosis as renal malignancies or uncertainty for proper treatment. We report such a case in an infant and review the current literature.

Osteolytic Lesions

The radiological diagnosis of osteolytic lesions of the long bones in pediatric population constitutes a challenge when the case history and clinical data are uncharacteristic. We believe that the description of few clinically and histologically proven cases to verify the existence of radiological signs useful for diagnosis may be of interest. Here, we describe a case of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) presenting as unifocal eosinophilic granuloma of femur along with a brief review of the literature.

Parathyroid Adenomas

AbstractBackground:Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a rare disease in the pediatric population, and optimal management may be unclear if it is due to an occult parathyroid adenoma. We present a case report of a pediatric patient with an occult, ectopic, supernumerary, parathyroid adenoma.Case presentation:A 13-year-old female who initially presented with anxiety was diagnosed with HPT. Preoperative imaging and bilateral neck exploration with four-gland biopsy were negative for any parathyroid adenoma. Postoperative MRI identified a thymic mass. She subsequently underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic thymectomy with resection of an intrathymic parathyroid adenoma.Conclusions:The diagnosis of pediatric HPT is increasing. Supernumerary or occult parathyroid adenomas are rare and add complexity to presurgical planning and management. Our case represents the rare occurrence of a pediatric ectopic supernumerary occult parathyroid adenoma treated with a two-stage approach utilizing multiple imaging studies. We provide a review of the pathology and propose an algorithmic approach to manage these complex patients.

Review Of The Literature

Nodular fasciitis is a rare disease, and its diagnosis is difficult. We present a case report of a seven-year-old child with progredient swelling of the left pectoralis muscle three weeks after trauma. After histopathological diagnosis, we performed complete resection. Normally, a conservative approach with regular follow-up is regarded as appropriate since nodular fasciitis does have the capability to regress spontaneously. Since recent publications indicate the possibility of malignant transformation, the complete primary resection also has to be discussed as therapy of choice.

Bardet Biedl Syndrome

Bardet Biedl syndrome is a rare disease. A case report is presented here where a 13 years old girl presented with obesity, night blindness, learning difficulties and polydactyly. Obesity and night blindness started from since childhood. Her milestones of development were normal but having some learning difficulties. Her parents are healthy as well as her siblings. On examination she looks apathy, extreme obese, having polydactyly and retinitis pigmentosa and high B.P. On laboratory findings there is only dyslipidaemia. On the basis of clinical features she was diagnosed as a case of Bardet-Biedl syndrome.Bangladesh J Medicine Jan 2015; 26 (1) : 31-34

Review Of The Literature

Buccal bifurcation cyst (BBC) is a rare inflammatory odontogenic cyst, which commonly affects children in the first decade of life. We report a case of a seven-year-old healthy boy with bilateral BBC, which involved unerupted incomplete permanent mandibular first molars. A review of the literature in English language revealed few similar cases. We reviewed 16 manuscripts of bilateral mandibular BBC, reporting a total of 20 cases since 1970. The clinical features of bilateral mandibular BBC summarized here could assist specialists with an accurate diagnosis and provide patients with optimal management.
