The purpose of this article is to review some of the different causes of scrotal pain in the pediatric population. In the acute setting, the most common cause of testicular pain is testicular torsion, however, the causative etiologies are broad. These include infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, referred pain, idiopathic or chronic causes. Sonography is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of scrotal pain in children. We will present various causes of scrotal pain in children, apart from testicular torsion and demonstrate comprehensive ultrasound features of each. Accurate differentiation and a definitive diagnosis without delay, is crucial for the proper management and favourable outcome of the patient. Read More

The differential diagnosis of ovarian tumors in children and adolescents is distinct from adults. Imaging features on ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET/CT can help differentiate aggressive from non-aggressive ovarian tumors. A large mass with solid components and heterogeneity on US, CT and MRI, and a high metabolic rate on FDG PET, indicates an increase risk of malignancy. Adequate diagnosis and staging of ovarian tumors in children and adolescents is crucial for proper management, which includes minimally invasive and function-preserving outcomes, with a curative intent. The purpose of this educational poster is to illustrate the imaging manifestations of some of the pediatric ovarian tumors based on our experience at our hospital. Read More
