A case of a prenatally diagnosed fetal ovarian cyst is presented. The pregnancy was uneventful and the girl delivered by cesarean because of the size of the cyst. The cyst was removed by laparotomy on the day of the delivery and luteum ovarian cyst was the histologic diagnosis.
Although intestinal polyposis it is quite a frequently clinical picture, there are some cases that deserve an special comment. The first infant was 50 days old and had an hamartomatous polyp implanted in jejunum. The second case was a five years old girl with a juvenile polyp implanted in the appendix's base. Authors describe clinical presentation, symtomatology and diagnostic steps taken in these patients with special emphasis in pathological study. Both were surgically treated and with satisfactory results.
This paper reports six pediatric patients with congenital choledochal cyst. From the long-term follow-up results of the six patients authors conclude that primary excision of the choledochal cyst and Roux hepatic jejunostomy are the first choice treatment for this lesion. However, it may not be possible in all cases, and choledochocystoenterostomy would then be useful as a second choice.
