Breast metastasis in osteosarcoma.

A young girl with a history of chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the tibia developed a pulmonary metastasis which was treated by metastasectomy, chemotherapy and lung irradiation. There years later, at the age of 15, she developed a breast mass which was excised and which proved to be a poorly differentiated sarcoma. This was almost certainly a metastasis rather than a radiation-induced second primary tumour, in view of the short interval since radiotherapy. The ultrasonographic features of this lesion are presented here and the differential diagnosis is discussed in this context.

Perlman syndrome: a case report emphasizing its similarity to and distinction from Beckwith-Wiedemann and prune-belly syndromes.

Perlman syndrome is a rare entity characterized by hypotonia, facial dysmorphism, gigantism, and visceromegaly including nephromegaly. The current case illustrates the ultrasonographic and computed tomographic appearances of renal abnormalities in this condition. Findings in Perlman syndrome can overlap with and need to be distinguished from two more common clinical entities: prune-belly and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndromes. Additional cranial findings previously unreported are also described.
