We present a case of laryngeal neurofibroma associated with neurofibromatosis type 2. Although laryngeal neurofibromas have previously been reported in cases of neurofibromatosis type 1, their presence has never been described in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 2.
Fascioliasis is an uncommon hepatobiliary disease in children. Ultrasonographic, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the disease have been thoroughly described in the last decade. These radiological findings play an important role in the differential diagnosis of the disease since it may clinically mimic several hepatobiliary and systemic diseases. We report three children with fascioliasis, emphasizing the radiological findings in both the hepatic and biliary phases of the disease. If radiological findings are not appropriately interpreted, the diagnosis may be overlooked or delayed. In all three cases the serological confirmation was performed by ELISA method. Patients were treated with oral triclabendazole and soon recovered.
