Soft-tissue and osseous tumors of the hand in children differ considerably from those of adults, not only in frequency but also in terms of anatomic distribution, histologic type and prognosis. Malignant tumors are rare in children, the most common being rhabdomyosarcoma for soft-tissue tumors, and osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma for osseous tumors. Hemangioma is the most common soft-tissue tumor in infancy and childhood. Other vascular abnormalities are capillary malformation, venous malformation. Many other benign soft-tissue and cutaneous tumors can be seen (ganglion cyst, naevus, fibroma...). The surgeon must know the signs, evolution and the treatment of these tumors.

We report the first case of cavernous hemangiolymphangioma of the urinary bladder without cutaneous hemangiomatosis. A 5-year-old boy was admitted for investigation of a 2-month episode of gross hematuria accompanied by lower abdominal pain. Radiological investigations revealed a solid enhancing mass at the dome of the bladder with associated low-flow lesion in the posterolateral wall of the bladder. Physical examination did not show any cutaneous vascular malformations. A differential diagnosis of hemangioma or rhabdomyosarcoma bladder was made, but fine-needle aspiration cytology did not reveal any malignant cells. At surgery, a red, wide-based, nodular tumor was found on the dome of the bladder and extending to the base and lateral walls. Partial cystectomy and excision of the cystic lymphangioma was performed. Histological examination of the resected specimen showed it to be a cavernous hemangiolymphangioma. The postoperative course was uneventful and no recurrence was seen after 8 months.

Soft tissue tumors account for approximately 25% of neonatal tumors and are most often benign (more than 2/3 of cases). Vascular tumors are the most frequent benign tumors and infantile hemangioma accounts for 32% of these tumors, affecting 1 out of 200 children at birth. Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KH) is a rare vascular tumor with locally aggressive behavior. More than 50% of KH are associated with the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, a condition characterized by thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. Malignant soft tissue tumors are, after neuroblastoma, the second cause of cancer in neonates. Infantile fibrosarcoma (IF) is a rare tumor that most often affects the extremities of children aged 4 years or younger. A recurrent t(12;15) (p13;q25) rearrangement fusing the ETV6 gene with the NTRK3 neurotrophin-3 receptor gene has been identified in IF. Complete conservative surgical resection is usually curative. Chemotherapy is indicated when initial surgical removal cannot be accomplished without unacceptable morbidity. Prognosis of IF is excellent, with reported overall survival rates ranging from 80 to 100%. Neonatal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare tumor (0.5-1% of RMS). The primary tumor predominantly involves the limbs and the genitourinary tract. Treatment is based on age-adapted chemotherapy and surgery. Prognosis of RMS in children less than 1 year old appears to be comparable with that of older children.

This article discusses the role of MR imaging in the evaluation of musculoskeletal soft tissue masses, reviewing limitations in its ability to establish tissue diagnosis and its critical role in determining lesion extent. It also reviews benign soft tissue masses, such as fibrous lesions, popliteal cysts, lipomatous lesions, and neurofibromatous tumors. Reactive entities, such as abscess, myositis ossificans, and hemangioma, are discussed. Differentiation between high- and low-flow vascular and lymphatic anomalies is reviewed. The article concludes with a discussion of the uncommon malignant musculoskeletal soft tissue tumors, focusing on infantile fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, and granulocytic sarcoma.

Emergencies in childhood orbital tumorals are rare. The absolute emergency involves malignant primary orbital tumors, such as rhabdomyosarcoma or secondary malignant tumors (metastatic neuroblastoma, leukemia), involving a vital prognosis requiring prompt diagnosis. Delayed emergencies are usually vascular lesions. Among these lesions, immature orbital hemangioma, with a good prognosis, must be distinguished from orbital adnexal lymphangiomas, which are less frequent but can lead to dramatic cosmetic and functional disorders. In rare cases, they can be responsible for sudden, painful proptosis, due to orbital hemorrhage, with a risk of optic nerve compression, requiring emergency surgical treatment. Neurogenous lesions, either isolated, such as in gliomas, or associated with a systemic disease, such as Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis, threaten the functional prognosis. Diagnosis of pediatric orbital tumors is based on a good clinical examination, precise imaging investigations, and evaluation of the locoregional extension of the tumor. Biopsy is required in emergency situations, when rhabdomyosarcoma is suspected, in order to start the chemotherapy. However, the biopsy can be superfluous, and even useless or dangerous, when clinical and imaging investigations are sufficient to provide a diagnosis of capillary hemangioma, lymphangioma, or metastatic tumor from an abdominal malignancy. Treatment is closely related to the etiopathogenesis of the tumor. The outcomes are vital, functional and cosmetic. They may require orbital surgery (biopsy, tumoral resection, orbital decompression in case of a compressive hemorrhage), systemic corticotherapy (as in immature adnexal hemangioma), radiation, and chemotherapy (rhabdomyosarcoma, secondary malignant tumor). These diseases require a pediatric ophthalmological medical center specializing in orbital surgery, with close collaboration of multiple specialists such as onco-pediatricians and neurosurgeons.

Prepubertal testicular and paratesticular tumours are a rare group of tumours, distinct from postpubertal paediatric and adult tumours of this region. Tumours within this group are testicular germ-cell tumours (such as benign teratoma, epidermoid cyst and malignant yolk-sac tumours) and stromal tumours (such as juvenile granulosa-cell, Leydig-cell, and Sertoli-cell tumours). Paratesticular tumours can be benign (lipoma, leiomyoma, haemangioma) or malignant (rhabdomyosarcoma, melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy). Because of their rarity, centralised pathology and treatment, and national collaborative clinical trials have been important in establishing the optimum management of malignant tumours in this group. We provide an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the clinical presentation, imaging, pathology, and clinical management of prepubertal paratesticular and testicular tumours.

Mesenchymal neoplasms of the kidney in adults cover a wide spectrum with characteristic ontogeny and histologic findings and variable biologic profiles and imaging findings. Benign mesenchymal renal tumors include angiomyolipoma, leiomyoma, hemangioma, lymphangioma, juxtaglomerular cell tumor, renomedullary interstitial cell tumor (medullary fibroma), lipoma, solitary fibrous tumor, and schwannoma. Malignant renal tumors of mesenchymal origin include leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and solitary fibrous tumor. Cross-sectional imaging findings for mesenchymal renal tumors in adults are varied. Although angiomyolipomas and lipomas show macroscopic fat, lymphangiomas are cystic in appearance. Renal hemangioma may show phleboliths and a characteristic enhancement pattern. Leiomyoma typically arises from the capsule and causes buckling of the renal cortex. Although osteosarcoma may demonstrate characteristic dense ossification, most renal sarcomas demonstrate imaging features that are indistinguishable from the more common renal cell carcinoma. Although some renal mesenchymal tumors have typical imaging findings, biopsy is warranted to establish a definitive diagnosis. Awareness of the various mesenchymal renal tumors and familiarity with their imaging findings permit optimal patient management.

We conducted a retrospective case-series review to identify the various diagnoses of neoplasms of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in a pediatric population. Our study group was made up of 54 children-23 boys and 31 girls, aged 8 months to 16 years (mean: 9 yr). All patients had been diagnosed with a tumor of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses between Jan. 1, 1955, and Dec. 31, 1999, at one of four university-based, tertiary care referral centers. We compiled data on tumoral characteristics (location, size, and histopathology), morbidity and mortality, and rates of recurrence. Lesions included adnexal neoplasm, ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, basal cell carcinoma, benign fibrous histiocytoma, blue nevus, chondrosarcoma, compound nevus, epithelioma adenoides cysticum, esthesioneuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, giant cell granuloma, granulocytic sarcoma, hemangioma, hemangiopericytoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymphangioma, lymphoma, melanoma, neuroblastoma, neurofibroma, ossifying osteofibroma, osteochondroma, osteosarcoma, port wine stain, rhabdomyosarcoma, Spitz nevus, and xanthogranuloma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest such study of its kind to date. We believe that the large size of this study and the data on disease incidence will allow clinicians to be better informed of the differential diagnosis of neoplasms of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in the pediatric population.
