“…Due to the effect of treatment, surgical excision of the lesion is the method of choice, preventing recurrence of the tumour (8) . Decisions about treatment strategies depend on location and symptoms (9) . However, many tests are helpful to diagnose intestinal malrotations.…”

We present a case report of a 1.5-month-old infant admitted to the Department of Paediatric Surgery on an elective basis in order to diagnose and treat an abdominal lesion identified in ultrasound examination during the prenatal period. Computed tomography with contrast of the abdominal cavity and pelvis showed a large abdominal cyst measuring 11 × 8 × 7 cm. Consequently, the child was referred for surgery. During the procedure, the cyst was completely dissected. Outside the abdominal cavity, it was decompressed from the blood-serous fluid. Intraoperatively, intestinal malrotation and right ovarian agenesis were additionally diagnosed. The material for histopathological examination was handed over in full. Microscopically, mesenteric lymphangioma was diagnosed.

“…The head and neck lymphatic malformations (HNLMs) are usually diagnosed within 2 years old, almost half of which occur in neonates, and usually occur in the posterior triangle of the neck ( 14 ). CT findings of HNLMs were mostly poorly defined, multilocular and low-density masses ( 15 , 16 ). Fluid-fluid levels can be seen in some patients with intracystic hemorrhage ( 17 ) TGDC usually occurs in the anterior midline of the neck, at the level of the hyoid bone, and connects with it ( 18 ).…”

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment of children with bronchogenic cysts (BCs) in the head and neck region.MethodsA retrospective study of 10 pediatric patients with BCs in the head and neck region treated in Shanghai Children's Hospital during 2011 to 2022 was performed.ResultsBased on their pathological diagnosis, 10 patients with BCs in the head and neck were identified. The most common location was the neck (8 patients, 80%; 2 midline neck, 6 lateral neck), followed by the ventral tip of tongue (1 patient), and the posterior pharyngeal wall (1 patient). Misdiagnosed as lymphangioma in 5 cases, cyst in 3 cases, thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) in 2 cases and congenital pyriform sinus fistula (CPSF) in 1 case preoperative. The median follow-up period after surgery was 4.68 (range, 0.67–9.25) years. All 10 patients underwent complete resection without recurrence or other complications.ConclusionsAlthough extremely rare, BCs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of midline and lateral neck masses or intraoral cysts in children. Surgical excision is recommended in BCs, and the diagnosis is definitively confirmed by histopathology.

“…Clinically, TGDC presents as anterior neck mass or painless median swelling that moves on swallowing or protruding the tongue (24). The lesions of head and neck LMs are commonly non-enhancing, poorly circumscribed, and with infiltrative growth along the tissue space, and the fibrous septum are strengthened in strip or grid shape in multilocular cysts (25,26). The LMs mainly show a smooth surface, soft texture, obvious wave motion, and positive light transmission test.…”

ObjectiveThe objectives of this study was to review the clinical features and surgical treatment outcomes of congenital second branchial cleft anomalies (CSBCAs) and to investigate the characteristic computed tomography (CT) findings of CSBCAs.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 52 children who were referred to Shanghai Children's Hospital from October 2014 to December 2021 diagnosed as CSBCAs.ResultsThere were 36 males and 16 females. Of them, 35 patients were presented as having a skin pit at birth or discharge from the skin opening on the lateral neck, and 17 patients presented with an asymptomatic or painful mass. The typical CT features of CSBCAs included isolated and homogeneously hypodense cystic lesions surrounded by a uniformly thin, smooth wall. CSBCAs were generally located at the anteromedial border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, posterior to the submandibular gland, and lateral to the carotid sheath. All patients were treated surgically and only one case underwent ipsilateral tonsillectomy. After a median follow-up of 30 (range 4–90) months, no recurrence or complications were observed.ConclusionsThe CSBCAs show some characteristic CT findings, which can help clinicians diagnose and plan surgical strategies. High ligation of the lesions is sufficient for complete excision of CSBCAs.
