Hepatoblastoma: case report and literature review.

Hepatoblastoma is the most common primary malignant hepatic neoplasm in children and must be differentiated from other hepatic tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic neuroblastoma, hemangioendothelioma, and mesenchymal hamartoma. A case report of hepatoblastoma with its attendant radiologic findings is presented. Because the prognosis is dependent on whether the tumor is surgically resectable, the accurate radiologic evaluation of patients with hepatoblastoma is critical. The roles of plain film radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography, and angiography in the evaluation of pediatric hepatic neoplasms are discussed.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration.

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare lesion making up less than 10% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. The two classic types, extralobar and intralobar, can be distinguished by whether or not the sequestered pulmonary tissue is enclosed by a separate visceral pleural lining. A case of intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration is presented. At present, aortography is necessary to establish the diagnosis, but other imaging modalities including computed tomography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging offer the potential for additional useful information.
