Mixed acinar-neuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a malignant pancreatic tumor that rarely occurs in children. It is diagnosed pathologically according to the proportion of neuroendocrine cells present, highlighting the need for surgical biopsy. A 13-year-old boy presented with a 10-cm palpable mass on CT. Surgical resection was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was MANEC. There were no postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged from the hospital 10 days after surgery. He is presently undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. We reviewed historical MANEC cases published in the English literature. We concluded that pathological analysis of a surgically resected specimen is necessary for an accurate diagnosis of MANEC, and that publication of more cases is needed to determine the optimal management strategy for MANEC.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze of the risk factors for surgical procedure on ileo-colic intussusception without leading point in children. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patient treated for ileo-colic intussusception between January 2003 and December 2014. We exclude the patients who had leading point. Because of the large difference on patient’s numbers between non-operative group (cases of ileo-colic intussusceptions successfully reduced by air reduction) and operative group (cases underwent operation due to failed air reduction), we compared the data of operative group of patients without leading point between 2003 and 2014 with the data of non-operative group as control group from 2013 to 2014. Clinical features such as gender, age, body temperature, body weight in diagnosis, growth curves for age-gender-body weight, and laboratory data of blood test were compared. Results: In non-operative group, total 94 patients who were treated successfully by the non-operative air reduction. In operative group, total 21 patients treated by surgical procedure. The age under 12 months, weight over upper 75 percentile group, increased segment neutrophil count, decreased hemoglobin level and lymphocyte count were significantly associated with a requirement for surgical procedure. Conclusion: We conclude that younger age, higher weight percentile group, increased segment neutrophil, decreased hemoglobin and lymphocyte are the independent risk factors related to operative treatment for ileo-colic intussusception in children. If primary air reduction is failed in patients with such risk factors, operative treatment over ultrasonography or secondary reduction can prevent unnecessary effort and complications, thus emphasizing the consideration of operative treatment when selecting treatment methods.

The perforation and subsequent panperitonitis as one of the complications of a Meckel diverticulum is a rare complication, especially in infants. Complication of Meckel diverticulum, preoperative and operative patient’s mean age is about 5 years old. A 13-month-old male infant presented at our emergency room with currant jelly stool of about 24 hours duration. Intussusception or bacterial enteritis was initially suspected. Gastrointestinal ultrasonography showed no evidence of intussusception or appendicitis. On the 3rd hospital day, he suddenly showed high fever and irritability. Abdominal CT suggested intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal abscess with air collection due to possible bowel perforation. The final diagnosis of perforation of Meckel diverticulum was made by laparoscopy and biopsy. We report a very rare case with perforation of Meckel diverticulum in infant period.

Purpose: Cervical lymphangiomas are rare lymphovascular malformations arising in the neck, which form huge fluid-containing cysts. Treatment of the malformation consists of surgery and sclerotherapy. However, the optimal approach is still controversial. Here, we describe a series of cervical lymphangiomas which have been treated with surgical approaches. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 82 patients who had been diagnosed with cervicofacial lymphangioma from 2001 to 2012 in our center. A closed suction drainage with negative pressure was placed on the operative lesion following excision to prevent reaccumulation of lymphatic fluid and the drainage tube was removed after injecting OK-432 through the tube. Results: Twelve patients underwent surgical excision of cervical lymphangioma. The median patient age was 3 months at the time of the operation. The patients have been followed-up over a period of 34 months. When lesions were located near vital organs such as the trachea or carotid artery or did not respond to repetitive OK-432 injections, surgical treatment might bring good outcomes. However, swallowing difficulty, lip palsy, or dyslalia due to adjacent nerve damage temporarily appeared as postoperative complications. Five children had tracheostomy due to tracheal or subglottic stenosis and 2 patients had gastrostomy due to aspiration while they eat after surgery. Conclusion: Surgery for cervicofacial lymphangioma should be conducted carefully in selective cases. A well thought-out surgical plan with a multidisciplinary surgical team approach and placement of closed suction drainage tube after surgery and adjuvant OK-432 sclerotherapy through drainage tube seem to be helpful for good outcome.

Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is one of the common surgical abdomen in infancy, characterized by progressive non-bilious vomiting. The etiology is unknown, but it likely develops after birth. The pylorus of the stomach becomes thick and triggers progressive vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) is widely used as a diagnostic tool. Currently, there is a rare IHPS patient with severe metabolic derangement because of general use of abdominal US and its accuracy. We experienced a natural course of a 62- day-old male infant with IHPS who was suffering from intermittent vomiting, loss of weight but had not been properly treated for 1 month. It is needed to make an effort to diagnose differentially in recurrent vomiting infant and check-up regularly, and also educate parents properly.

Gastric teratoma is an extremely rare tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all teratomas. Gastric teratoma is mostly presented as a palpable abdominal mass, and is rarely accompanied with gastrointestinal bleeding such as melena or hematemesis. A 5-month-old male infant was brought with a history of pale facial color and dark-colored stool. The hemoglobin level was at 6.1 g/dL, with melena having begun 1 month previous. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a polypoid mass with bleeding at the upper body and lesser curvature of the stomach. Wedge resection of the stomach was performed and histopathological analysis confirmed the mass to be a mature cystic teratoma. There was no recurrence after the operation during follow-up.

Purpose: Recent data suggest that monotherapy with a broad-spectrum antibiotic may be as efficacious as, and potentially less costly than, standard multi-drug therapy. We compared mono-therapy with intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam (PT) with multi-drug therapy with cefotaxime and metronidazole (CM) in aspect of postoperative complications and hospital stay. Methods: We reviewed the hospital records and medical costs of the pediatric patients who were managed for perforated appendicitis between April 2013 and May 2014 retrospectively. Results: Forty-six patients with laparoscopic appendectomy for perforated appendicitis were included in our study. PT group was 20 and CM group was 26 patients. On admission, there were no significance in sex distribution, duration of symptoms, leukocyte count, and CRP levels. At postoperative third, fifth, and seventh day of each regimen, PT group have no statistical difference with CM group in leukocyte count, percentage of neutrophil, and CRP. There was no difference in abscess formation rate, wound infections, and hospital stay between two groups. There was only one patient who was readmitted with elevation of CRP and leukocyte count in CM group. Conclusion: Daily dosing with the mono-therapy of PT offers as efficient as multi-drug therapy of CM. To evaluate the efficacy of broad-spectrum antibiotics monotherapy in perforated appendicitis children, the cohort included more patients should be needed.

A case of congenital ectopic scrotum in neonatal period is described. The ectopic scrotum was located in the right inguinal area and the left hemiscrotum was found in normal location and each hemi-scrotum contained their testis. The neonate also had imperforate anus as low anorectal malformation with spinal abnormalities (hemi-sacrum and hemi-pelvis), right knee flexion contracture and right club foot. The embryological explanation in the literature of ectopic scrotum and its associated anomalies is discussed.

Median raphe cyst (MRC) of the perineum is rare congenital midline cyst of the male genitalia. MRC is thought to be caused by congenital alterations in the embryologic development of the male genitalia during fetal life. MRC can be found on the midline position between the urethral meatus and the anus. The lesion can be cystic, but sometimes it looks like an elongated configuration called a raphe canal. Diagnosis in childhood is particularly rare because they are usually asymptomatic, but some cases have reportedly been identified after infection. Although conservative treatment can be possible in small asymptomatic lesions, the treatment of choice is simple excision followed by primary closure in symptomatic cases. We describe here the case of 2-year-old boy presented at our institution with a 10-month history of anomaly of the perineal median raphe, which was treated by surgical excision.
