Ovarian microcystic stromal tumors (MCSTs) and ovarian primary solid pseudopapillairy neoplasms (SPNs) are rare ovarian tumors, and recently classified as distinctive variant in the stromal category and miscellaneous tumors respectically in 2009 and 2010. Ever since, there were less then 10 MCSTs and ovarian primary SPNs reported in English literatures. Both of them had something in common, inc...

Six successive cases of congenital nephrotic syndrome are described. Each one showed flexion deformities of the knees and hips, widely open anterior and posterior fontanelles, and wide separation of the skull sutures. These abnormalities were present not only in cases in which the renal histology was of the microcystic Finnish type of congenital nephrotic syndrome, but also in those in which th...

The indications for MMS include malignant tumors with poorly defined borders, histology, tumor size, level of invasion, anatomic location, reduced patient immunity, and recurrence after previous treatment. MMS is indicated for locally aggressive tumors that are difficult to eradicate by routine measures and recurrent tumors following conventional surgical excision. MMS has been used successfull...

Here we report successful thoracoscopic-assisted sclerotherapy of a large, prenatally diagnosed microcystic thoracoabdominal lymphatic malformation in a 3-month-old infant born at 38 weeks gestational age. Compression of the inferior vena cava and aortic displacement was demonstrated on imaging. Treatment options include medical management, percutaneous sclerotherapy, or surgical resection. The...

Pancreatic tumors can be classified by their morphologic features on CT. The subtypes include solid tumors, mixed cystic and solid lesions, unilocular cysts, multilocular cystic lesions, and microcystic lesions. Endoscopic US and MRI can provide detailed information for classifying pancreatic lesions. Each subtype has different kinds of tumors and malignant potential, thus the classification ca...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare condition which is easily detectable by prenatal ultrasonography. Fetuses with large CCAMs associating with hydrops are predisposed to perinatal mortality, therefore prenatal intervention is required. While macrocystic CCAM is treated prenatally by thoracentesis or thoraco-amniotic shunt, microcystic or mixed CCAM is difficult to manag...
