Are infantile periarteritis nodosa with coronary artery involvement and fatal mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome the same? Comparison of 20 patients from North America with patients from Hawaii and Japan.

We reviewed available clinical and pathologic autopsy material from 20 patients with infantile periarteritis nodosa with coronary artery involvement (IPN) from the continental United States, two Hawaiian patients with fatal mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MCLS; Kawasaki disease), and three patients with classical periarteritis nodosa (CPN). Comparison of the findings in patients with IPN and in patients with MCLS from Hawaii to material from patients with fatal MCLS from Japan showed no definite clinical reason to distinguish IPN from MCLS; neither gross nor microscopic features of the vascular lesions nor their pattern of distribution appears to warrant separation of IPN from fatal MCLS. CPN differs, both clinically and pathologically, from IPN/MCLS, and may well have a different etiology.

Ovarian teratomas in children. A thirty-three year experience.

During the thirty-three years from 1941 through 1973, forty-two children with ovarian teratomas were seen. The most common complaint was that of abdominal pain and the most common physical finding was palpable lower abdominal mass. Thirty-seven patients had ovarian teratomas with nature tissues only. Of these, two patients have been lost to follow-up and the remainder are alive and well. One patient had teratoma containing mature and immature tissues (embryonic); this patient has remained well since operation. Four patients had malignant teratoma. Of these, two patients are dead due to the tumor and the two are living and well for six and nine years, respectively.

Cystic diseases of the kidney in children.

Many genetically determined cystic kidney disorders occur in children. Presenting manifestations related to the kidney include failure to thrive, abdominal enlargement or flank masses, progressive renal failure, or urinary tract infection. Radiological techniques often yield information helpful in establishing the type and extent of renal lesions. Cataloging the cystic renal disease in terms of genetic patterns, the involvement of liver or another organs, and the nature of the disorder of renal architecture is helpful in establishing the proper handling of affected children, and in genetic counseling.

Sacrococcygeal teratoma: a 33-year experience.

During the years 1941 through 1973, 48 patients, 16 males and 32 females, with sacrococcygeal teratoma were seen at the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles. Forty-four patients have been followed, three are lost to follow-up, and one patient died 2 wk after excision of teratoma. Of the 44 patients with follow-up, 26 had teratoma with mature tissues only, all these patients are living. Six patients had tumor containing mature and embryonic tissues. Of these, five are living and one died with metastases of malignant teratoma 1 yr after excision of the primary tumor. Of the remaining 12 patients, 11 have died during the first 4 yr of life due to malignant teratoma and only one is living without recurrence 15 yr after excision of teratoma containing frankly neoplastic tissues. Recurrence and/or metastasis of malignant sacrococcygeal teratoma was lethal in all instances.
