Zinner sendromu; ipsilateral renal agenezi, seminal vezikül kisti ve ejakülatör kanal obstrüksiyon triadını içeren, mezonefrik kanalın distal kısmında nadir görülen, embriyolojik bir anomalidir. Muhtemelen daha sonraki yaşlara kadar tanı konulmadan kalacak olan 17 yaşındaki asemptomatik bir erkek çocukta, mezonefrik kanalı tutan bu nadir gelişimsel anomalinin ultrason ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularını sunuyoruz. Spesifik bir semptomu bulunmayan hastaya, görüntülenme muayenelerinde tesadüfen tanı konulmuştur.
Organizing pneumonia is a pulmonary disease of undefined etiology, with few reported cases in children. It may be secondary to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, infectious agents, or hematopoietic cell transplantation. We present a case of an 18-year-old boy who presented to a follow-up consult with respiratory symptoms at the age of 11 years, 8 years after finishing treatment for a prostatic relapse of a pelvic rhabdomyosarcoma. Chest radiography revealed nodular opacities in the left lung, the one in the left lower lobe with silhouette sign with the left hemidiaphragm. Chest computerized tomography showed 2 nodular lesions in the left upper lobe, one of them cavitated, and another nodular lesion in the left lower lobe; 2 of these nodules had surrounding ground-glass opacities. Microbiological work-up, including tuberculosis screening, was negative. Biopsy revealed findings suggestive of organizing pneumonia. He presented spontaneous resolution. This case presented a diagnostic challenge due to rarity of this condition and its indetermined association with the patient’s history of rhabdomyosarcoma. With this case, the authors alert that organizing pneumonia must be considered in patients presenting with pulmonary lesions with a history of previous hematopoietic stem cell transplants, lung irradiation, or immunosuppression. Pulmonary metastases and secondary tumors must be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with a heavily treated relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma.
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.
