Congenital tumors represent only 1.5–2% of all pediatric tumors, with a prevalence of 1:12,500 to 1:27,500 live births. Tumors are considered congenital when detected during pregnancy or in the first 3 months of life (1). Nowadays, with more accessible prenatal care and fetal imaging, these tumors can be detected very early during fetal period. Some lesions are benign, while others carry high risk of morbidity and mortality postnatally. As a radiologist, it is important to be familiar with these tumors by recognizing their imaging features, imaging modality work up and differential diagnosis. Doing so, we contribute to a proper imaging evaluation, early diagnosis and management. The objectives of this educational exhibit are: -To describe the imaging features of some congenital tumors on different image modalities. -To recognize and emphasize the key radiologic findings of each tumor and their differential diagnoses. -To briefly review the literature, including etiology, epidemiology, cytopathology characteristics, diagnosis and treatment. Pictorial cases from our Radiology Department will be used to describe the imaging features of the following entities: 1) Head/Neck: ● Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) ● Cervical teratoma ● Hemangioma 2) Chest: ● Neuroblastoma ● Cardiac rhabdomyoma 3) Abdomen- Pelvis: ● Hepatic hemangioendothelioma ● Hepatic hemangioma ● Neuroblastoma ● Mesoblastic nephroma ● Sacrococcygeal teratoma 4) Soft tissues: ● Infantile fibrosarcoma 5) Systemic: ● Leukemia Read More

<b>A neck mass is a frequent chief complaint in the pediatric population and includes a wide variety of etiologies. The age of the child, symptoms and physical exam findings may narrow the differential diagnoses. The radiologist can aid in diagnosis and management by guiding the selection of the appropriate imaging modality. It is important for the radiologist to recognize the features of common and rarer neck masses in children. This pictorial review will describe the multimodal imaging features of a variety of pediatric neck masses in four categories: </b> <b>1. Congenital/developmental </b> <b>Thyroglossal duct cyst</b> <b>Branchial cyst Dermoid cyst</b> <b>Epidermoid cyst</b> <b>Venolymphatic malformation</b> <b>Cervical extension of thymus</b> <b>2. Infection/inflammatory </b> <b>Lymphadenitis</b> <b>Retropharyngeal/peritonsillar abscess</b> <b>3. Neoplastic </b> <b>Hemangioma</b> <b>Neurofibroma</b> <b>Neuroblastoma/ganglioneuroblastoma</b> <b>Rhabdomyosarcoma</b> <b>Lymphoma</b> <b>Thyroid carcinoma</b> <b>Teratoma</b> <b>4. Miscellaneous</b> <b>Ranula</b> <b>Fibromatosis colli</b> Read More

<b>The spleen is rarely the first organ to come to mind in discussing pathology of the abdomen, and indeed may often be the last. However, there are a multitude of splenic processes and abnormalities that should be kept in mind when discussing the pediatric abdomen. Additionally, splenic abnormalities, or lack thereof, can also be clues to diagnosis in more difficult cases. </b> Read More
