With research pushing ever onward, it is often difficult to keep pace with the dynamic landscape of pediatric abdominal tumors and their classification systems. However, it is imperative that we, as radiologists, remain vigilant of these changes, as our initial and follow-up imaging assessments often have the potential to drive clinical intervention in widely differing directions.
In this educational poster, we will review the most up-to-date risk stratification and staging criteria for neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, and Wilms tumor in order to:
1. Educate about the most recent criteria for categorizing pediatric abdominal tumors such as neuroblastoma, hepatoblastoma, and Wilms tumor.
2. Provide imaging examples of these pediatric abdominal tumors and describe how the above-mentioned criteria might change radiology reports and patient management.
3. Encourage accurate risk stratification of these tumors so that radiologists are better equipped to assist in directing appropriate patient care.

To assess the size and number of pulmonary lesions in patients with hepatoblastoma
Diagnostic criteria of the PRETEXT (Pretreatment Extent of Disease) staging system for hepatoblastoma states that pulmonary lesions are judged to be metastases if there is one nodule greater than 10mm in diameter, or if among several nodules at least one is greater than 5mm in diameter.

A newborn male child with antenatal diagnosis of left facial mass presumably hemangioma, presented for postnatal ultrasound. Ultrasound of the left face and neck, showed a large homogenous mass measuring 5x7x4 cm arising from the inferior aspect of the superficial lobe and entire deep lobe of the parotid gland extending over the angle of mandible to the left parapharyngeal space. On MRI the mass was heterogenously enhancing with low signal intensity on T1 and intermediate signal on T2 weighted imaging. The mass was also extending into the left masticator, sublingual, and submandibular spaces. The neonate also had a right upper abdominal swelling, and an ultrasound abdomen detected heterogeneously hypo to hyperechoic mass in the segment 4 of liver. On triple phase computed tomography, the mass showed early peripheral arterial enhancement and heterogeneous enhancement in portal and venous phase. On magnetic resonance imaging, the mass was hyperintense to liver on T2-weigthed imaging with restricted diffusion and heterogenous enhancement less than the background liver on all phases. Biopsy result of the left facial mass was sialoblastoma and that of liver was hepatoblastoma. Alpha fetoprotein was also elevated. Wide margin surgical resection of sialoblastoma and left lobe hepatectomy was performed followed by chemotherapy.
Sialoblastoma is a rare congenital tumor of the salivary glands, mainly arising from the parotid gland, which is locally aggressive and potentially malignant. A total of approximately 40 cases of congenital sialoblastoma has been reported. Neonatal hepatoblastomas comprises 10% of pediatric hepatoblastomas. An association of sialoblastoma and centromere division has been reported, which in turn is associated with embryonal tumors. There have been only two reported cases of concomitant sialoblastoma and hepatoblastoma. Further research with genetic analysis is required to document association of these two embryonal tumors. The current management of these tumors is complete surgical resection followed by chemotherapy.
