Imaging findings of children with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome: a 20-year multicentric pediatric cohort
ConclusionBrain abnormalities, benign non-vascular soft tissue abnormalities, and vascular anomalies are commonly seen in children and adolescents with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome. However, malignancies involving the thyroid gland are not uncommon. Familiarity with the phenotype of PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome in the pediatric population can improve diagnosis and prompt appropriate clinical surveillance of abnormal findings that warrant further management.Graphical abstract
