Epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML) is a subtype of angiomyolipoma, the most common benign renal tumour and usually asymptomatic until adulthood.This paper reports a patient with EAML identified at 30 months, the youngest age of presentation with this tumour reported in the literature. In this case the tumour was extremely large andwas successfully surgically removed. Furthermore, the patient had no other TS features, presented with acute symptoms, and had bilateral idiopathic chylothorax which was managed by octreotide and diet.
Lymphangiomas are benign tumours of lymphatic vessels which are not linked with the normal lymphatic vessels. Their symptoms usually depend on their location and size as they can compress or block adjacent organs. We present a 9-month-old girl with isolated cavernous lymphangiomas of the spleen, a rare variable of lymphangiomas, with no symptoms. She had an isolated anaemia which could only be explained by the hypersplenism caused by the lymphangiomas. Such a presentation has been very rarely reported in the literature and not mainly in children. Furthermore, this case also illustrates imaging of hypersplenism related to lymphangiomas.
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.
