Our study analyzes 40 years' experience with pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis patients.Between June 1968 and December 2009, 121 patients (79 males, 42 females; median age 4.13 y) were diagnosed at our center (74% monosystemic disease; 26% multisystemic), treated according to current protocols. We evaluated the response, survival, neuroendocrinological sequelae.Overall survival (OS) for all was 93% 10 years from diagnosis, event-free (EFS) 77%. OS younger than 2 older or equal 82% 97%...
The “red code” (RD) represents the highest levels of emergency in department (ED). study retrospectively analyzed RDs Regina Margherita Children’s Hospital ED, a regional referral center north Italy, between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2023. aim was to describe RD characteristics identify significant correlations presenting complaints clinical management. includes 934 (0.9% overall ED admissions); 64% were assigned based on Pediatric Assessment Triangle alteration. Most patients, 86.5%, followed...
Background: The prognosis of cerebral metastases (MTS) is linked to progression both systemic and local disease. importance MTS resection has been already pointed out. observation a high mortality for not-neurological causes confirms that the modern treatments allow significant control disease within nervous system. Nevertheless, management difficulties increase with multiple lesions in these cases role surgery still be defined.Materials Methods: We collected clinical data patients operated...
Background . In this study we retrospectively evaluated if 18 F-FDG-PET/CT provided incremental diagnostic information over CI in a group of hepatoblastoma patients performing restaging. Procedure Nine (mean age: 5.9 years; range: 3.1–12 years) surgically treated for were followed up by clinical examination, serum<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>α</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>-FP monitoring, and US.

Abstract Accidents are the main cause of injury in children, more than half events happen at home. Aims this study were to assess if SARS-CoV-2 lockdown influence emergency department (ED) visits due children domestic accident (DAs) and identify factors associated with hospitalization. This was a multicentre, observational, retrospective cohort involving 16 EDs Italy enrolling (3–13 years) receiving visit ED during March–June 2019 2020. Risk for hospitalization identified by logistic...
Langerhans cell histiocytosis is rare and frequently involves the bone. We retrospectively reviewed orthopaedic aspects (symptoms, localizations, treatments) long-term outcome [disease status, overall survival (OS), event-free (EFS)] of 121 patients (June 1968-December 2009). The main symptom was local pain. treatment mainly conservative. most frequent localization osseous monofocal (62% monosystemic diseases). Monosystemic after 1991 (OS, P=0.007; EFS, P=0.03) age older than 2 years...
Abstract Background The relative high frequency of menstrual irregularities in the first two–three years after menarche may lead to risk underestimation associated pathological conditions, which are always be accurately researched with careful examination and anamnesis. association between hypothyroidism is described literature but available data scarce mainly based on adult case series. It that low plasma levels thyroid hormone can shift hemostatic system towards a hypocoagulable...
A 14-year-old girl was examined for a right lateral neck swelling and radiographic mediastinal widening. Biopsy of supraclavicular lymph node demonstrated the nodular sclerosing form Hodgkin's lymphoma. An 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F18-FDG-PET/CT) study showed several pathological areas lymph-node uptake in upper mediastum distal tibia. Radiography tibia revealed nonossifying fibroma site corresponding to tibial uptake. The PET appearance benign...

Background: Caffey disease is a rare syndrome caused by mutation in the alpha-1 collagen type I gene, not described literature as predisposing condition to cancer development. Observation: We report case of 6-years-old female diagnosed with that developed localized neuroblastoma. The patient had poor clinical and radiological response unusual dissemination progression until death. Conclusion: example rapid neuroblastoma disease. A probable predisposition neoplasm this or atypical tumour...

Abstract Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited febrile illness of unknown cause, that predominantly affects children < 5 years age. The diagnosis merely clinic, based on the identification principal clinical findings and exclusion other clinically similar entities. Patients who do not fulfill complete diagnostic criteria for KD are referred to as incomplete form. Lymphadenopathy least common symptom in patients with KD. rate cervical lymphadenopathy occurring initial...
