Renohepaticopancreatic dysplasia: diagnostic dilemma.

We present the case of an eighteen day old baby boy hospitalized with an abdominal mass, renal insufficiency and jaundice. Multiple radiographic, radionuclear and surgical interventions were required to diagnose renohepaticopancreatic dysplasia, also known as Ivemark II syndrome. In spite of aggressive intensive care support, the patient developed multisystemic organ failure and died. Clinical presentation and autopsy findings are presented.

Cavernous hemangioma presenting as a right adnexal mass in a child.

This is the case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with a right adnexal mass and vague abdominal symptoms since seven months prior to her hospital admission for surgery. CT-scan and sonographic images were those of a benign lesion, probably ovarian torsion or infarction. Serum tumoral markers were normal. A right salpingo-oophorectomy and appendectomy were performed. Pathology examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the ovary. The clinicopathologic presentation of this unusual benign ovarian tumor is discussed.
