Congenital Intrathoracic Stomach (CITS) is a rare and challenging congenital anomaly, particularly when associated with a very short esophagus and gastric outlet atresia. We present a case of a neonate born at 32 weeks of gestation with complex left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), where intra-operative findings revealed an intrathoracic stomach that could not be reduced to the abdomen. Post-operative fluoroscopic images demonstrated an irregular stomach in the chest, extending from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm. The proximal esophagus was exceptionally short, measuring approximately 1 cm in length, and there was a short 0.7 cm long blind-ending tubular structure or outpouching at the inferior end of the stomach, suggestive of pyloric or duodenal atresia. This case report describes the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and surgical management of this rare anomaly. Read More

Pediatric stomach tumors encompass a broad range of pathologies. These tumors are rare in the pediatric and adolescent population and can be easily misdiagnosed. In addition, approach to imaging diagnosis in this population may differ from adults. In this educational exhibit, we will focus on stomach tumors. This exhibit will provide viewers with:
1. A visual differential diagnosis of common and uncommon tumors in each section of the stomach with a focus on multi-modality imaging.
2. Review of common imaging findings for each tumor, highlighting high-yield characteristic findings of each.
3. Key findings and tips that can help the practicing radiologist differentiated between benign and malignant tumors.
