To provide useful information for diagnosing and predicting fetal intraabdominal extralobar pulmonary sequestration (IEPS), a retrospective review of diagnostic approaches was conducted. Ultrasonography was performed serially in 21 fetuses with IEPS from 2005 to 2017. Prenatal sonographic features, treatment, and outcomes of each case were evaluated and collected. These cases of IEPS were also compared to 43 cases previously reported by other researchers from 1986 to 2017. Of the 21 sonographic features, 14 (67%) were hyperechoic, 21 (100%) were well circumscribed, and 17 (81%) depicted a mass that shifted with fetal breaths/hiccups non-synchronized with adjacent organs (sliding sign). Feeding arteries were detected prenatally in 18 patients (86%). The lesion volume was 10.17 ± 4.66 cm3, the congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation volume ratio and cardiothoracic ratio were in normal range. The gestational age at diagnosis, location and echotexture of the lesion, and rate of surgical treatment were similar to previous studies, but with a significantly higher rate of detected feeding arteries (P < 0.01), and associated anomalies (P < 0.01). All infants who underwent surgery after birth had satisfactory outcomes. The sliding sign and feeding artery are essential features of IEPS in prenatal diagnosis.

The aim of this study was to identify specific unusual prenatal ultrasound (US) patterns of the adrenal gland and to propose a systematic approach for diagnosis. Six fetuses with unusual aspects of one or both adrenal glands, detected during routine prenatal US screening, were evaluated. Prenatal and postnatal management are described. A checklist of US features was created to perform a detailed analysis of adrenal lesions and guide prenatal management; this includes the time of appearance, location, growth, vascularization, structure, and presence of findings suggestive of malignancy.

“…Neonates and infants require special consideration because NB may have a different disease course in this age group and a unique appearance (Table 2) [2,4]. In neonates, NB originates almost exclusively in the adrenal glands, appears cystic in approximately 50% of cases, although it may also be semi-solid or solid, it is less often calcified, and it carries a better prognosis (Figure 2) [3,6,9]. It is also important to note that cystic NB, when isolated to the adrenal gland, can be confused with an adrenal hematoma, especially as calcifications may be present Imaging of the primary tumour in neuroblastoma ISSN 2672-9393 in an old hematoma and in NB [3,11].…”

“…Bilateral cystic NB is found in less than 10% of NB, and in 20% of familial NB [10]. Metastasis is less likely in cystic NB, and the most common site of metastases in cystic congenital NB is the liver (Figure 3) [6].…”

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumour in children, accounting for approximately eight percent of paediatric cancer and fifteen percent of pediatric cancer deaths. Reaching a correct and timely diagnosis is extremely important, especially in aggressive NB. Prognosis and treatment are based on tumour biology and genetics, patient age and perhaps most importantly, disease stage. The current staging system relies heavily on imaging, and this pictorial essay provides a description of the radiological features of NB, from classic to atypical, and the modalities used to help confirm the diagnosis and staging of NB. Our aim is to provide radiologists with a comprehensive collection of presentations of NB, to help improve diagnostic accuracy and decrease time to diagnose.
