Background. Hepatic cystic teratoma is an extremely rare tumor and hepatoblastoma a relatively rare tumor of childhood. Their occurrence as a combined tumor has not been previously reported.
Methods. The relevant clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings are presented.
Results. A 17‐month‐old boy presented with an abdominal mass. Imaging studies suggested an intrahepatic teratoma, but serum alpha‐fetoprotein levels were extremely elevated. The resected tumor comprised adjoining benign cystic teratoma and epithelial hepatoblastoma. The child remains alive and well 37 months after complete resection of the tumor.
Conclusions. The tumor was considered most likely to originate from divergent differentiation of a single uncommitted liver precursor cell.
The tibia is a fairly common site for stress fractures of both the fatigue and insufficiency types. The majority are transverse or, less frequently, oblique. The present report outlines four cases of vertical stress fractures, an orientation that is very uncommon and leads to bone scan findings which can be misleading.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
