To review the characteristic imaging findings of pediatric fibroblastic/myofibroblastic masses to aid in their diagnosis and management. Soft tissue lesions in pediatric patients encompass a wide variety of pathologies. While a comprehensive review of all possible pathologies is beyond the scope of this poster, we aim to review one particular subset of lesions, fibroblastic lesions (including myofibroblastic neoplasms), in hopes to bring these to mind when evaluating a pediatric soft tissue mass to improve diagnosis and management of these entities. Soft tissue masses typically present clinically on the basis of history and physical examination. US and MRI are used as first- and second-line imaging modalities, with limited roles for radiographs, CT and FDG-PET. In this poster, we will review the pertinent imaging findings of these neoplasms.

Pediatric patients are frequently referred for imaging of palpable breast lesions, but pathologic breast conditions are rare in childhood and adolescence. While evaluation of the pediatric breast can be daunting to non-breast imaging facilities, commonly encountered conditions have recognizable imaging features on ultrasound, the modality of choice for work up. In rare cases, indeterminate or suspicious conditions can be encountered. The purpose of this poster is to present cases of commonly encountered pediatric breast conditions, with histopathologic correlation when available, as well as to present imaging findings of more concerning entities. The goal of this poster is to provide the reader familiarity with pediatric breast conditions to increase confidence in interpreting these studies. Read More
