Fetuses with tumors associated with hydrops have a high mortality rate. Relatively few survivors have this potentially fatal combination. This study examined the clinical and pathological findings, pathogenesis, and outcomes of fetuses with tumors and hydrops. One hundred and fifty-eight study cases
Abstract We report on a fetus with a congenital pulmonary myofibroblastic tumor, the prenatal detection of which with imaging modalities has not been reported up until now. A 32-year-old woman was referred to our hospital at 29 weeks' gestation because of severe fetal hydrops. Sonograms and magnetic
An unusual solid tumor composed of myofibroblasts in an infant with nonimmune hydrops fetalis is presented together with a review of previous cases reported under a variety of different names, most notably congenital leiomyosarcoma. Immunocytochemical, ultrastructural, and flow cytometric data plus
Fetal cardiac tumor is a rare disease, and its prognosis varies in relation to the complications such as arrhythmia and out-flow obstruction. Hydrops fetalis is one of severe complications that result in an unfavorable outcome. A case is presented herein of a large fetal cardiac tumor diagnosed at
We describe a case of congenital nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor) presenting at 28 weeks of gestation with fetal hydrops and polyhydramnios. Prenatal diagnosis was made by biopsy. An emergency Cesarean section was performed due to deterioration in the cardiotocograph. A post-mortem examination
Most fetal lung masses present by mid gestation, grow during the canalicular phase of lung development (18-26 weeks of gestation), and plateau in growth or shrink after 26 weeks of gestation. We describe the unique case of a fetal lung mass presenting at 37 weeks of gestation with hydrops and fetal
Unusual case of fetal hydrops was presented. In a stillborn infant an Rh incompatibility was suspected as a cause of hydrops, although prentally an immunologic source of the illness was excluded. Post-mortem a large polycystic mediastinal teratoma with cardiac and pulmonary hypoplasia was stated as
Fetal primary cardiac tumors are rare, but they may cause complications, which are sometimes life threatening, including arrhythmias, hydrops fetalis, ventricular outflow/inflow obstruction, cardiac failure, and even sudden death. Among fetal primary cardiac tumors, rhabdomyomas are most common,
OBJECTIVE
Screening programs using urinary vanillylmandelic acid have detected neuroblastomas in early infancy with some success. With the widespread use of ultrasonography in modern obstetric practice, use of ultrasonography to screen for fetal neuroblastoma seems to be reasonable and
Rhabdoid tumors of the kidney are highly lethal malignancies of infancy. We report the prenatal detection of a renal rhabdoid tumor with mesoblastic components in a fetus at 27 weeks of gestation. The tumor presented as a large mass in the left renal area and there was concomitant massive
Our objective was to review current literature pertaining to prenatal ultrasonography of various fetal intracranial neoplastic and non-neoplastic tumors. To this goal, all manuscripts published in the English language regarding this topic obtained from a MEDLINE search from 1966 through January 1998
A 34-year-old Japanese woman (gravida 2, para 2) with polyhydramnios and non-immunological hydrops fetalis was referred to our department at 32 weeks of gestation. On admission, the blood pressure was 120/60 mmHg and there was no pitting edema of the lower extremities. An ultrasound examination
Cardiac etiologies of hydrops fetalis have been a topic of concern due to challenging perinatal management. The common cardiac etiologies leading to hydrops fetalis include structural cardiac anomalies, cardiac dysrhythmias, cardiac tumors, cardiomyopathy and myocarditis. The mechanisms of
