    Abstract Infantile fibrosarcoma (IF) is a well characterized pediatric malignancy marked by gene rearrangements involving members of the NTRK family. In this report, we present a case of IF that presented in the inguinal region-proximal thigh and was initially thought to be a kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) because it presented with a bleeding diathesis thought to be Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP). Subsequently, the placental examination showed a neoplasm in the perivascular-subendothelial space of stem villi, initially thought to be myofibromatosis. Ultimately, a biopsy of the thigh mass showed IF with an NTRK3-ETV6 fusion. Subsequent FISH analysis of the placenta showed an ETV6 rearrangement confirming that it was also IF. Review of the laboratory studies suggests that disseminated intravascular coagulation may have been more likely than KMP, highlighting the difficulty in making this distinction in some cases. We believe this to be the first report of an IF presenting in a soft tissue site and the placenta, and discuss the possible mechanisms that could have allowed the IF in the leg to spread to the placenta.

    Abstract Background: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is accepted therapy for severe mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS IH). With implementation of newborn screening (NBS) for MPS I in the US, HCT may now occur earlier than 1-2 years of age and it might be assumed that cardiac issues will be fewer. To examine this hypothesis, we reviewed our records for any MPS IH infant who underwent HCT at ≤6 months of age.
    Study patients: Pre- and (most recent) post-HCT cardiac echos and clinical courses were reviewed in all infants with MPS IH undergoing HCT at ≤6 months of age.
    Results: 7 MPS IH infants (4 M) who were diagnosed at median (range) (MEDRNG) of 14 (3, 22) days of life (DOL) by NBS [2] or because an older sib had MPS IH [5], began enzyme replacement therapy at MEDRNG of 48 (7, 62) DOL. First pre-HCT echo was performed at MEDRNG of 45 (0, 88) DOL. HCT (6 cord blood, 1 related) occurred at MEDRNG of 131 (105, 183) DOL with most recent echo at MEDRNG of 408 (10, 1897) days after HCT. Mitral regurgitation (≥mild) occurred before (2/7) and after (2/7) HCT; LVH (2/7) occurred after HCT; PFO was common before (5/7) and after (3/7) HCT. One infant had severely decreased function at initial echo and required ICU management. Another infant with a patent foramen ovale and indwelling central line required additional neuroimaging to determine the cause of a seizure. A final infant died unexpectedly 69 days post-HCT without evidence of occlusive coronary disease at autopsy.
    Conclusions: In addition to the traditional phenotypic features of severe MPS I, newborns presenting for HCT have cardiac and non-cardiac problems unique to their young age. Recognition of these issues is essential for optimal outcomes.

    Abstract Hepatic angiosarcoma is an extremely rare diagnosis in children, with fewer than 50 pediatric cases reported in the literature worldwide. This aggressive vascular sarcoma carries a very dismal prognosis and is known to be resistant to radiation, chemotherapy, and other vascular-targeted agents. Complete surgical resection is felt to provide the best chance for long-term survival. In patients with tumors not amenable to resection, a liver transplant can be considered. However, very few such transplants have been reported, given that they remain controversial due to high cancer recurrence and mortality post-transplant. Herein, we report the unique case of a 2-year-old child with localized hepatic angiosarcoma not amendable to resection who successfully underwent a liver transplant and received chemotherapy with six cycles of doxorubicin, docetaxel, and ifosfamide.

    Abstract A 16-year-old boy with a recent diagnosis of night terrors was evaluated for recurrent early morning hypoglycemia after an early morning seizure. Evaluation in clinic with critical laboratories identified hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Additional investigation revealed a sporadic insulinoma as the etiology of his hypoglycemia and all symptoms were resolved after pancreaticoduodenectomy. The importance of obtaining critical laboratory samples is highlighted and appropriate radiologic, medical, and pathologic testing is discussed. We additionally review the medical and surgical management of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. A discussion of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 associated insulinomas is included as well. This case highlights the importance of considering hypoglycemia in the evaluation of night terrors and new-onset seizures.

    Abstract Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) is rare in children and young adults and therefore may be difficult to diagnose. Here we report the clinicopathologic findings of 4 patients under the age of 30 diagnosed with PCM at our institution and summarize the literature about 48 other cases of PCM in this age group. The male:female ratio was 1.2:1 and the number of cases increased with age. Children and young adults with PCM often present with a plasmacytoma and are less likely to have asymptomatic PCM than their adult counterparts. From the cases that reported ethnicity, the majority (55%) were non-white suggesting a possible ethnic predisposition to PCM in this age group. PCM should be included in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions, especially a destructive bony lesion, after more common causes have been ruled out in this age group. The optimal treatment for PCM in this patient population is unclear and conclusions into this are hampered by the paucity of cases and the lack of standardized follow-up.

    Abstract Verrucous hemangioma (VH) is a hyperkeratotic lesion usually presenting in infancy, occurring primarily on the extremities. We report a 5-year-old boy with VH in the glans penis and discuss briefly the hyperkeratotic vascular stains, which constitute a heterogenous group. During a 7-year follow-up, the patient received various local treatments, but the lesion regrew to its original size after each treatment until the second deep excision after which no more recurrences have been observed for 3 years now. VH in this location has never been reported.
