Intraperitoneal rhabdomyosarcoma in children: incidence and imaging characteristics on CT.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and CT imaging features of intraperitoneal rhabdomyosarcoma in children. CONCLUSION: Approximately 10% of children with rhabdomyosarcoma may have intraperitoneal neoplastic involvement either at the time of diagnosis or subsequently. On CT, intraperitoneal rhabdomyosarcomas are associated with ascites, enhancing nodules, masses, a pseudomyxoma peritonei-like appearance, and omental caking.

Spinal intradural cerebellar ectopia.

An ectopic cerebellum, as in Chiari malformations and ectopic cerebellar dysplastic tissue, is a common finding; however, the presence of an organized ectopic cerebellum is exceedingly rare. We describe the MR imaging, surgical, and histologic appearance of an intraspinal ectopic cerebellum in an infant.

Geniculate ganglion meningioma.

Primary ectopic meningiomas are rare, but may be seen in the head and neck region. The temporal bone and its neural foramen are rarely the site of a primary meningioma. This report describes the CT and MRI appearance of an ectopic meningioma arising at the anatomic location of the geniculate ganglion, and discusses the differential diagnosis as well as the possible origin of the tumor.
