An unusual abdominal wall mass in a child

Abstract: Abdominal tumors are one of the most common types of pediatric cancer. Therefore, they should always be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses. Here, we present the case of a child whose initial hypothesis of diagnosis contemplated this possibility. Later, it was demonstrated that the abdominal mass found was secondary to a common parasitosis. A 2-year old, moderately malnourished and pale white boy was referred with a history of a rapidly growing, well-limited, middle abdominal mass. The m… Show more

“…Then, according to the main components, laboratory results, and clinical history, a differential diagnosis should be made. Based on the origin, abdominal non-neoplastic diseases include infectious processes (e.g., abscesses, necrotizing fasciitis, granulomas, gossypibomas, and fistulae), congenital conditions (e.g., urachal anomalies, defects of the abdominal wall, manifestations of muscular dystrophies, arteriovenous malformations), acquired vascular conditions (e.g., shunts, pseudoaneurysm, and hematomas), and storing and miscellaneous diseases (e.g., injection granulomas from silicone, paraffin, or other drugs; calcinosis; collagen diseases; splenosis; and endometriosis) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”
