Chest wall mesenchymoma is a rare benign tumour arising from the ribs and occurring in infants, being usually present from birth. The few previously documented cases have been of solitary tumours. A 6-week-old infant presented with two separate lesions demonstrating specific radiological signs, and on isotope scanning with Technetium MDP a high uptake of the agent was demonstrated.
Ultrasound of a patent urachus has been well described. However, ultrasound of the other congenital abnormalities affecting the umbilicus has not. Two cases are described, one of a vitelline (omphalomesenteric) duct and one of an umbilical granuloma, in which the ultrasound findings guided the child's management, preventing a minilaparotomy.
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.
