    Description / Table of Contents: Summary In this case report, we focus on the importance of scurvy as a differential diagnosis in a newborn presenting with swollen legs. Scurvy is rare in highly developed countries and often overlooked. Medical history, clinical symptoms and radiological findings are crucial for diagnosis. The diagnosis is confirmed by successful treatment with ascorbic acid.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Mit unserem Fallbeispiel wollen wir auf die differentialdiagnostische Bedeutung des Skorbuts bei einer Weichteilschwellung der Beine insbesondere des Neugeborenen hinweisen. Gerade in hochentwickelten Ländern ist dieses Krankheitsbild wegen seiner Seltenheit wenig bekannt. Diagnose: Die wichtigsten Diagnoseparameter sind die Anamnese, die Klinik und die erhobenen Röntgenbefunde. Die Diagnose bestätigt sich in einem Therapieerfolg nach Vitamin-C-Gabe.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Acute suppurative thyroiditis is very rare in childhood. We describe the clinical signs and the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of thyroid abscesses in children, and add 2 own cases of this rare disease. In the first case, diagnosis of piriform sinus fistula was made finally after repeated drainage for recurrent abscesses of the left thyroid. Operative excision of the fistula was performed and the child is doing well since then. In the second case, a left sided thyroid abscess was treated by incision and drainage only. Seven years later, no recurrent abscess occurred in this child. In conclusion, especially in left sided and recurrent thyroid abscesses the patients should be examined for a piriform sinus fistula as a route of infection. If present, complete removal of the fistula is essential for permanent cure.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die abszedierende Thyreoiditis ist im Kindesalter ausgesprochen selten. Anhand von 2 Patienten werden die Klinik, Diagnostik und Therapie dieser Erkrankung beschrieben. In einem Fall mußten mehrfache Inzisionen wegen rezidivierender Abszesse durchgeführt werden, ehe im Intervall der Nachweis einer Sinus-piriformis-Fistel gelang und diese dann operativ entfernt werden konnte. Im 2. Fall wurde der Abszeß drainiert, zu Rezidiven ist es während der folgenden 7 Jahre nicht gekommen. Insbesondere bei linksseitigen und rezidivierenden Abszessen muß an das Vorliegen einer Sinus-piriformis-Fistel gedacht und diese dann komplett chirurgisch entfernt werden.

    Notes: Abstract We report a case of a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia in a premature twin, which presented in the 2nd week of life with a persistent pleural effusion following a bowel perforation due to necrotizing enterocolitis. The position of the right hemidiaphragm initially was normal and the definite diagnosis was made by ultrasound.

    Notes: Abstract Failure in the process of differentiation of the mesonephric duct is thought to be the cause of upper urinary tract abnormalities. The common nephric duct, the caudal portion of the mesonephric duct between the ureteral bud and its opening into the urogenital sinus, seems to play a central role in the development of this region. However, detailed morphologic studies of the common nephric duct cannot be found in the literature. Therefore, most theories about the embryogenesis of upper urinary tract abnormalities are highly hypothetical. We studied the development of the common nephric duct in rat embryos between the 11th and 17th days of gestation by scanning electron microscopy: in contrast to previous views, the common nephric duct can be discerned as an isolated structure for a long period. During this time the ureter is rotating around the axis of the common nephric duct, thus reaching its normal craniolateral position relative to the mesonephric duct. Incorporation into the urogenital sinus does not take place until this rotation is complete. These investigations provide exact data on the normal development of the common nephric duct in this critical period of development.

    Notes: Abstract Hepatoblastoma is an embryonal tumour of the liver, which often contains tissue components with multidirectional differentiation. The occurrence of cell surface antigens in this tumour has not been studied systematically, and we therefore investigated 20 hepatoblastomas for the expression of common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen (CALLA) and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in their different tissue components. Epithelial tumour cells of fetal differentiation contained E-cadherin. This protein did not occur in tumour areas with embryonal or mesenchymal differentiation. In contrast, immature embryonal and anaplastic cells expressed CALLA and the hyaluronate receptor (HCAM, CD44). Both fetal and embryonal areas stained irregularly positive for ICAM-1, which, in contrast, was not present on anaplastic cells. Immature fibrous tissue did not contain any of these molecules except for ICAM-1. However, some cells adjacent to, or enclosed in, osteoid were positive for HCAM and NCAM. Like small undifferentiated hepatoblastoma cells, primitive mesenchymal spindle-shaped cells also expressed CALLA, HCAM, and the polysialylated embryonic form of NCAM strongly. This last is not present on other epithelial or mesenchymal tumour cells. Hepatoblastoma cells of varying differentiation express distinct patterns of CAMs and CALLA. Our results give further insight into their histogenesis and cellular interactions and may explain their variable ability for invasive growth and formation of metastases.

    Notes: Abstract Papillomas of the genital region are rare benign tumours causing sanguineous vaginal discharge in prepubertal girls. We report on a papilloma of the cervix in a 2-year-old girl. We characterize the tumour immunohistochemically and give a brief review about the current literature. Conclusion Genital tract papillomas are benign differ entiated tumours of probable Müllerian origin with a good prognosis even after tumour recurrence. Local excision is adequate for treatment.

    Notes: Abstract Background and aims: Neuroblastoma cells express the polysialylated form of the neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM), which normally becomes restricted to a few neural regions after embryogenesis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate PSA-NCAM as a marker in childhood neuroblastoma. Patients/methods: We studied the expression of PSA-NCAM on tumor specimens and in sera of 27 children, altogether, with ganglioneuroma and neuroblastoma of different histological grades and clinical stages. For both methods, immunohistochemistry on 5-μm frozen sections and immunoluminescence serum assay, the polysialic-acid-specific monoclonal antibody 735 was used. Results: PSA-NCAM expression was highest in patients with undifferentiated neuroblastoma and advanced stages of disease, whereas children with differentiated tumor types and low clinical stages had distinctly reduced or no reactivity in immunohistochemistry and, simultaneously, normal serum levels. PSA-NCAM expression correlated with other prognostic and diagnostic markers, such as MYCN gene amplification, and serum concentrations decreased during successful treatment. Conclusions: We conclude that PSA-NCAM, both immunohistochemically and in the serum, is a promising candidate for another useful diagnostic and prognostic tumor marker in childhood neuroblastoma.
