Management of incidentally discovered pediatric liver lesions can be challenging. As compared with adults, no formal guidelines exist on this subject. Our purpose is to suggest an approach to the management of incidental pediatric liver lesions based on review of the literature and our institutional multidisciplinary experience. Outline: - Main considerations when evaluating incidental liver lesions in children (including age, alpha fetoprotein level, lesion size, imaging characteristics differentiating benign and malignant tumors, role of contrast-enhanced US, role of hepatobiliary contrast MRI) - Suggested approach to the management of incidental liver lesions detected by US, CT, and MRI - Examples of common incidental liver lesions (cyst, hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatocellular adenoma, focal fatty infiltration and sparing) Read More

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital abnormality of the lower airway resulting in a mass of nonfunctional lung tissue. Our purpose is to present the prenatal and postnatal imaging findings of a spectrum of BPS cases and to correlate with pathology findings. We present a series of BPS evaluated with prenatal imaging (US and MRI) and postnatal imaging (radiographs, US, CT, and MRI). Pathology will be reviewed. Our series includes isolated BPS, hybrid BPS associated with cystic pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), BPS associated with diaphragmatic hernia, and challenging cases of intradiaphragmatic, subdiaphragmatic, and mediastinal sequestrations that can mimic other masses. We also include a case of sequestration with an associated communication to the GI tract (bronchopulmonary foregut malformation) and a case of isolated BPS that spontaneously involutes over time.
