Childhood hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma: integrated sonography and dynamic CT.

13 cases of hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma are reviewed with respect to the visibility of the tumour margin, hepatic veins, and portal veins on non-contrast, non-dynamic and dynamic computerised scans. In large tumours the accurate interpretation of venous anatomy can be difficult. We found that dynamic scanning followed by a repeat scan of selected slices after a few minutes was the most useful method. If facilities for dynamic scanning are not available then it is suggested that conventional scanning be performed immediately after the intravenous injection so as to avoid the isodense phase of hepatic enhancement.

Boomerang dysplasia.

Boomerang dysplasia is a recently delineated form of neonatally lethal dwarfism. A fourth case has been investigated and an increased range of phenotypic manifestations is documented in this article. So far all affected infants have been males and X-linked recessive inheritance is possible. Diagnostic criteria for Boomerang dysplasia are outlined.
