[Interstitial-cell tumor of the testicle. A case report].

The authors introduce the case of a seven-years-old patient suffering from a tumor of the Leydig cells testicle, which is a pathological entity rare to be found during pediatric age. The clinical history is characterised by the absence of any endocrine phenomena, such as precocious pseudopuberty, which are usually linked to the presence of a "Leydigoma". Surgical therapy, in connection with the described constant evolution that favours such lesions during pediatric age, with the absence of any cellular anomaly which is typical of a malignant case and lastly, with the clear delimitation of the tumor from the healthy testicular parenchyma, has so far restricted itself to the enucleation alone, without orchiectomy.

[Bilateral multicystic renal dysplasia. Description of a case].

This is a case report of a newborn with bilateral multicystic kidney; The Authors report the etiology and the histologic features of the renal multicystic dysplasia considering the role of the sonographic examination in its precocious diagnosis. Peritoneal dialysis and renal transplantation in the first year of age are dealt about as the possible current therapeutic measures in the bilateral cases.

[Supernumerary liver localized in the navel. Description of a case].

The authors report a case of a supernumerary hepatic lobe at the umbilicus of a newborn. They review the different symptoms, varietes and frequencies of supernumerary hepatic lobes. The importance of this embryological anomaly is underlined in order to be differentiated from urachal and omphalo-mesenteric duct malformations.

[Retroperitoneal nodular fasciitis: analysis of a case].

A case of nodular fasciitis occurring in a 14-year-old girl is described and the clinical-pathological profile and the diagnostic problems are analyzed. The Authors believe this report useful to be reported for the relative rarity of the disease, especially in children, the very great dimension and the unusual retroperitoneal localization.

[Primary omental torsion in children: report of 2 cases and review of the literature].

The primary torsion of the omentum is a rare cause of acute abdomen. The clinic features may mimic closely acute appendicitis, with acute onset of right lower quadrant pain. The Authors, after reporting two cases recently observed, discuss the aetiopathogenetic aspects, point out the problems of diagnosis and finally suggest the most correct surgical approach.

[Cystic-papillary neoplasm of the pancreas: a case report in childhood].

A solid and cystic tumor of the pancreas in a 11-year-old girl is reported. The child presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A voluminous tumor, arising from the pancreas tail, was removed with distal pancreatectomy. These neoplasma occur predominantly in girls and young women, the prognosis is usually good in spite of histologic finding of apparent malignancy. The histochemical, immunohistochemical and electron examinations of this tumor show polymorphic differentiation, which means that part of the all can differentiate into duct epithelium, acinar or endocrine line. So up to, recently this tumor has been misclassified within other pancreatic tumors, and frequently has been managed with aggressive surgery. But as the neoplasm usually behaves like a very low grade malignancy, its complete removal is the treatment of choice for the tumors arising anywhere in the pancreas. The authors emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis and of extirpative surgery in children with pancreatic malignancy.
