Pseudotumor fibroso calcificado del mesenterio: un caso inusual en una niña de 9 años / Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor of the mesentery: an unusual case in a 9-year-old girl

Introducción: El pseudotumor fibroso calcificado es una lesión benigna, con pocos casos de localización peritoneal y mesentérica descritos en la población pediátrica. Su curso es principalmente asintomático, por lo cual el diagnóstico corresponde en su mayoría a hallazgos incidentales. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 9 años con dolor abdominal y hallazgo de masa entra-abdominal en tomografía de abdomen. El estudio histopatológico realizado estableció el diagnóstico de pseudotumor fibroso calcificado, por lo que se llevó a resección programada de la masa mediante laparotomía. El seguimiento de la paciente fue durante un año, sin evidencia de recurrencias en ecografía. Comentarios: Se discute la aproximación diagnóstica y terapéutica en esta paciente comparado con lo descrito en la literatura

Introduction: Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion with few peritoneal and mesenteric cases in pediatric population described. Its course is mainly asymptomatic, which is why diagnosis corresponds mostly to incidental findings. Clinical case: Authors present the case of a 9-year-old patient with abdominal pain, and intra-abdominal mass finding in abdominal tomography. The histopathological study realized established diagnosis of calcifying fibrous pseudotumor, which is why programmed resection of the mass was performed by laparotomy. Follow-up was performed during one year, without evidence of recurrences through ecography. Comments: Authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this patient compared to that described in the literature

Cysts of the pancreas: a report of two cases

A case of pseudosyst of the pancreas is reported, demonstrating the successful use of marsupialization. Because of the relative rarity of this condition, special attention is called to the ease with which it can be mistaken for other more common causes of encysted fluids, and to the special means for differentiating it.

A Potential Energy Surface for the Electronic Ground State of H2Te Derived from Experiment

We report here the determination of a new potential energy surface for the electronic ground state of the H2Te molecule by fitting to an extensive set of very recent experimental spectroscopic data (see J.-M. Flaud, P. Arcas, H. Burger, O. Polanz, and L. Halonen, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 183, 310-335 (1997), and references therein) by means of the MORBID (Morse Oscillator Rigid Bender Internal Dynamics) computer program. The fitting to all 1111 input data (involving rotation-vibrational states with J

Fourfold Clusters of Rovibrational Energies in H2Po Studied with an ab Initio Potential Energy Function

We report here an ab initio investigation of the cluster effect (i.e., the formation of four-member groups of nearly degenerate rotation-vibration energy levels at higher J and Ka values) in the H2Po molecule. The potential energy function has been calculated ab initio for a total of 143 molecular geometries by means of the CCSD(T) method, using an averaged relativistic effective potential for Po in conjunction with a newly optimized basis set. The values of the potential energy function obtained cover the region up to around 5000 cm-1 above the equilibrium energy. On the basis of the ab initio potential, the rotation-vibration energies of H2209Po have been calculated with the MORBID (Morse oscillator rigid bender internal dynamics) Hamiltonian and computer program. In particular, we have calculated the rotational energy manifolds for J
