Frozen section biopsy and nephron-sparing surgery for a multiloculated cyst of the kidney; Is this the ideal approach ?
M Aditya, Sujit K Chowdhary, Vikas KashyapJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(1):75-79 Multiloculated cystic renal masses are uncommon in the pediatric population. The presentation may be as an asymptomatic incidental finding on imaging, abdominal mass, abdominal pain, or urinary tract infection. The differentiation between benign and malignant causes of a cystic lesion by clinical and radiological examination is difficult. Tru-cut biopsy is not recommended due to fear of upgrading a malignant tumor. A definitive diagnosis is confirmed histopathologically only after surgery. Based on certain imagin...

Rapunzel syndrome: A concealed tale of the misleading tail
Deepak Kumar, Vaibhav Pandey, Ruchira NandanJournal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons 2023 28(1):69-71 The diagnosis of Rapunzel syndrome can sometimes be challenging. The silent features such as poor appetite, constipation, anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and hypoproteinemia were all overlooked in our patient initially. The Rapunzel tail leads to multiple intussusceptions and an unexpected perforation sealed by intussusceptions. Perforation sealed by intussusceptions in a clinically stable patient of Rapunzel syndrome has never been reported. (Source: Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons)
