    Notes: Abstract Portal vein thrombosis is a rare but potentially lethal complication in children requiring splenectomy. We report on a 15-year-old boy with a dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, who underwent splenectomy and presented a postoperative partial portal vein thrombosis. With prompt heparin therapy, neither propagation of the thrombus nor further cavernous transformation in the following occurred 6 years. Conclusion Recent data suggest that hereditary stomatocytosis carries a high risk of thrombotic complications, especially after splenectomy. This procedure, the benefit of which is limited in this condition, should therefore be strongly avoided.

    Notes: Abstract. Numerous diseases can lead to multilocular lesions of the liver. The authors report a rare pediatric case of hepatic granulomas due to Pasteurella multocida: a 7-year-old girl with chronic fever was investigated by sonography and CT scan, demonstrating mesenteric lymph node enlargement and numerous small hepatic lesions. After surgical biopsy, histopathology of the liver specimens showed pyogenic granuloma, with serologic testing positive for Pasteurella multocida. Treatment with a tetracycline and corticosteroids was successful. Pasteurella multocida infection, despite its habitual benign course, should be suspected among differential diagnoses of lymphogranulomatous affections with hepatic involvement. No case of liver and lymph node foci in a child has been previously described.
