ABSTRACT

Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor commonly afflicting pediatric patients, exhibits a diverse spectrum of clinical presentations. Preseptal cellulitis, a childhood infectious ailment, typically demonstrates a favorable response to conservative antibiotic therapy. In this report, we present the case of a two-year-old female child with refractory preseptal cellulitis, ultimately leading to an unforeseen diagnosis of neuroblastoma. Early radiological assessment upon the onset of preseptal cellulitis serves the dual purpose of excluding severe complications and uncovering latent, rare pathologies when the initial antibiotic regimen proves ineffective.

ABSTRACT

We describe two patients with Pallister-Hall syndrome (PHS) with genital abnormalities: a female with hydrometrocolpos secondary to vaginal atresia and a male with micropenis, hypoplastic scrotum, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Nonsense mutations in GLI3 were identified in both patients. Clinical and molecular findings of 12 previously reported patients who had GLI3 mutations and genital abnormalities were reviewed. Genital features in the male patients included hypospadias, micropenis, and bifid or hypoplastic scrotum, whereas all the females had hydrometrocolpos and/or vaginal atresia. No hotspot for GLI3 mutations has been found. The urogenital and anorectal abnormalities associated with PHS might be related to dysregulation of SHH signaling caused by GLI3 mutations rather than hormonal aberrations. We recommend that clinical investigations of genital abnormalities are considered in patients with PHS, even those without hypopituitarism.
