Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common epithelial tumour of the lacrimal gland in adults. It is rare in children less than 10 years. The low incidence in children can lead to low index of suspicion and increased likelihood of misdiagnosis. Incomplete treatment can lead to malignant transformation or recurrence. High index of suspicion is necessary for prompt diagnosis in children younger than 10 years. We describe a rare case of lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenoma (LGPA) in a 7-year-old child. Only four cases have so far been reported in the literature in children younger than 10 years. We emphasise the importance of CT scan and ultrasound-guided fine needle in the diagnosis of LGPA in children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents information on the diagnosis made on the basis of a computed tomography of the abdomen of a 67-year-old male patient presented with persistent abdominal discomfort. It informs that the needle biopsy showed numerous infiltrates of hematopoietic cells, which confirmed the diagnosis of extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH).

The article presents a case study of a 20-year-old man who underwent a contrast-enhanced computerized tomography of the pelvis for a workup of complicated urinary tract infection which showed presence of classical horseshoe kidney and incidental left-sided infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC).
