Objective To summarize the manifestation of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis by ultrasound and discuss the diagnostic value of ultrasonography in pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis. Methods The ultrasonic appearances of 31 cases of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis confirmed by clinics and pathology were reviewed and analyzed. Results Nineteen of 31 cases were observed in association with eosinophilic infiltration of other organs which were diagnosed as idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome.Eosinophilic cystitis was the most common among the complications(89.4%,17/19).Twelve of 31 cases were diagnosed as eosinophilic gastroenteritis without complications.The endoscopic appearances of eosinophilic gastroenteritis were nonspecific which include erythematous,hyperemia edema,and partiality erosion changes.Endoscopy demonstrates increased numbers of eosinophils in the propria of stomach and the duodenum.Ultrasound features of the gastroenteritis appeared diffuse or the parts of gastrointestinal tract.The most common sites of eosinophilic gastroenteritis were the stomach and duodenum.Involvement of muscle layer and serosal layer showed wall thickening of cyclic annular and uniformity.Ultrasound might show nodular or irregular thickening of the folds in the gastric antrum when the submucosa were thickening.The mucosal layer involvement was not easy to be found by ultrasound.The echo of serous layer and submucosa associated with the disease stage.The thickening of surrounding omentum and mesenteric tissue,echo enhancement and nonspecific hyperplastic mesenteric lymph nodes infiltrated with eosinophils might be present.Eosinophilic ascites could often be detected.Conclusions Ultrasound has obvious advantages in the diagnosis of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis,and the ultrasonic changes of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis are characterized.Ultrasonography can provide the possible diagnosis when combined with inflammatory of other organs,especially cystitis inflammatory changes.

Objective To improve the diagnostic level by analysing and the CT features of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of liver(UES) in 6 cases all proved by pathology. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical,pathologic,and imaging features in 6 cases.6 cases underwent unenchanced CT scan,5 case enchanced CT Results CT scan revealed a large uniloculated cyst in 3 and multiloculated cyst within hyperdense septations of variable shapes and thickness in 3.The margins of the lesions were well defined. Some solid portions at the periphery or adjacent to the septa were found in all cases. Punctate calcification at the periphery of the lesion was found in 1 case. A thin rim was seen surrounding the cystic tumor in all cases corresponding to the pathologic psedcapsule. The solid portions and the psedcapsule of the tumor had increased attenuation values and the cystic areas showed low attenuation after injection of contrast material. US demonstrated a single echogenic mass within some anechoic spaces of variable size in 4 cases. Conclusion CT scan showed well defined uniloculated or multiloculated cyst within variable amount of solid portions and an enhancing rim and predominantly solid at US. Discrepancy of internal architecture between US and CT was one of the important characteristic of UES.

Objective:To analyze the ultrasonographic images and clinical characteristics of congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN), and to investigate the differential performances with Wilm′s tumor (WT).Methods:Twenty-one cases of CMN patients confirmed by pathology from December 2008 to December 2019 in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected as the CMN group, and in the same criterion, 51 cases of WT patients were taken as WT group. Ultrasonographic images and clinical characteristics were collected retrospectively, and then the tumor size, site, echo and age were compared and analyzed between the two groups. ROC curve was used to evaluate the differential performance.Results:The difference analysis showed that except for echo ( P=0.694), there were statistically significant differences in tumor size, site and age between the two groups (all P<0.05). In prenatal, the incidence of CMN was significantly higher than WT (61.9% vs 3.9%, P<0.001), and the specificity was 96.1%. The median age (interquartile range) of CMN after birth was significantly earlier than WT( Z=-4.044, P<0.001). The area under the ROC was 0.949, the best cutoff was 112.5 days, with a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 93.9%. Conclusions:It is difficult to distinguish CMN and WT by echo, but the diagnosis performance can be improved through combining tumor size with site, especially age.
