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 diagnosisDesign:
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 HospitalParticipants:
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 Statisticalanalysis:
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
