ABSTRACT

Objectives: To review the Computed Tomography( CT )features of pediatric oncological patients with abdominal and pelvic tumours and correlate these findings with their histopathological diagnosis Design: This was a retrospective cross-sectional facility-based study. Setting: This study was conducted in the Pediatric Oncology Unit and Radiology Department of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Participants: Fifty-six pediatric oncology patients with contrast-enhanced abdominal and pelvic CT scans. Data Collection: The abdominal and pelvic CT scans findings, patient biodata, and histopathology reports of oncology patients over four years were reviewed Statistical analysis: Simple descriptive statistics using frequency distribution, percentages, means, and standard deviation were used to describe the various variables and presented tables. Results: The four commonest tumours were nephroblastoma, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, and hepatoblastoma. The mean age at diagnosis was 4.8 years, with a slightly higher male predominance. The majority of the tumours were extremely large at presentation. Overall, the CT ­ histopathology concordance was 79.2%. Conclusion: Abdominal and pelvic CT scans play an important role in the diagnostic workup of pediatric malignancies by ensuring early and accurate diagnosis of these tumour

ABSTRACT

Sur une periode de 21 ans (1970-1990); les auteurs ont collige; chez des enfants et des adolescents; 106 observations de masses abdominales admises et soignees aux Cliniques Universitaires de Kinshasa. L'etude de ces cas leur a permis de degager quelques particularites interessantes et encore a verifier sur cette pathologie au Zaire: la faible incidence: 5 cas par an en moyenne; interessant surtout les enfants de moins de 7 ans; le siege de predilection demeure intraperitoneal comme dans d'autres etudes africaines; mais avec prevalence de l'atteinte renale avant 7 ans; le foie prenant le relais apres cet age; contrairement aux contestations europeennes ou le siege retroperitoneal et l'atteinte renale sont preponderants; et la malignite confirmee de la masse dans environ 70 pour cent des cas quelle que soit la tranche d'age de l'enfant
