A young infant is presented with a mass partially obstructing the distal stomach. Sonography demonstrated the superficial origin of the lobulated lesion which proved to be focal foveolar hyperplasia, the most common cause of a gastric polypoid mass in adults but rare in children.
A young infant with vomiting associated with a gastric polyp is presented. The polyp proved to be focal foveolar hyperplasia. These non-neoplastic polyps of unknown etiology are usually found in adults.
A 54-year-old woman with controlled hypertension presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. Imaging revealed a 6.6 cm liver lesion. During resection, she became severely hypertensive and diagnosis was paraganglioma. Hepatic paragangliomas are exceedingly rare but must be considered in the differential of abdominal mass even without typical clinical symptoms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
