Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa.

A hyperechoic mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen was demonstrated in a fetus by antenatal ultrasonography (US) at 20 and 33 weeks' gestation. Postnatal US, myelography and computed tomography were performed preoperatively; the findings were judged consistent with neuroblastoma. Surgical excision and pathological examination revealed bronchopulmonary sequestration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

D001998 Bronchopulmonary Sequestration A developmental anomaly in which a mass of nonfunctioning lung tissue lacks normal connection with the tracheobroncheal tree and receives an anomalous blood supply originating from the descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. The mass may be extralobar, i.e., completely separated from normally connected lung, or intralobar, i.e., partly surrounded by normal lung.
