Early detection of PMD has been described during routine prenatal ultrasound (Vaisbuch et al., 2009). The sonographic characteristics of PMD include increased placental thickness and multiple cystic areas within the placenta with either an absence of blood flow or with low venous Doppler signals (Vaisbuch et al., 2009). The differential diagnosis of multicystic placental lesions with the presence of a live fetus include partial molar pregnancy, multiple hematomas, chorioangioma Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and PMD. Chorioangiomas are well circumscribed masses within the placenta and they are characterized by the presence of a single feeding vessel with the same pulse rate as the umbilical cord (Zalel et al., 2002). Invasive prenatal testing is required for the exclusion of partial molar pregnancy and Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (Vaisbuch et al., 2009). Definitive diagnosis of PMD is based on the pathologic examination of the placenta. Histology reveals aneurysm or dilated blood vessels that may be thrombosed. The stem villi are edematous and enlarged with thick-walled vessels, without trophoblastic proliferation (Pawoo and Heller, 2014).

Furthermore, the immunosuppressant state of graft recipients may cause the tumor to behave more aggressively (G. Ploussard et al. BJU Int. 2012: 109: 195–9 [3]). In these complex cases, there is a need for a minimally invasive nephron-sparing treatment option that can keep patients free of dialysis.

Chemotherapy and radiochemotherapy are commonly performed as alternative treatments, but satisfaction with the results remains low. High intensity focused ultrasound therapy (HIFU) is expected to be a minimally invasive therapy for these cases. HIFU is an epoch-making therapeutic method and is a local therapy that converges a large number of ultrasonic transmission sources at one point at the target site of the tumor and cauterizes tissues from outside the body 1 2 3 . \u0000 \u0000Case Description \u0000A 63-year-old male, who underwent CT examination at another medical center due to epigastric pain, was then diagnosed with a low-density tumor (65mm) infiltrating the celiac artery (CA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in the pancreas body ( Fig. 1a ). It was histologically diagnosed as PC (UICC criteria; stage III) by EUS-FNA. There was no suitable surgery. Therefore, chemoradiotherapy was initiated due to locally advanced PC. Chemotherapy was performed with GS therapy (GEM 1000 mg/m 2 +S-1 100 mg/day), and radiotherapy with 50.4 Gy / 28 fraction. After receiving GS therapy (GEM 1000 mg/m 2 +S-1 100 mg/day) for 2 months, the PC was still diagnosed as progressive disease (PD) based on WHO criteria by CT. The patient presented at our hospital for HIFU therapy. Under sufficient informed consent, HIFU therapy was performed as an additive therapy to systemic chemotherapy. This clinical trial was approved by the ethics committee of our hospital (IRB: 890) and registered with University Hospital Medical Information (UMIN) and was initiated (UMIN000009969). B-mode US showed a hypoechoic mass in the pancreas body ( Fig. 2a ), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) showed isovascularity in previous HIFU therapy ( Fig. 2b ). The FEP-BY 02 HIFU Therapeutic System was used as the HIFU device.

It originates from the neural crest during fetal development and may arise from the sympathetic ganglia or the adrenal medulla (Gurney JG, et al. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1997; 19: 428). \u0000 \u0000Prenatal detection of neuroblastoma was first described in 1983 (Fenart D, et al. Journalde Radiologie 1983; 64: 359). In the majority of antenatally diagnosed cases, neuroblastomas are adrenal in origin and right-sided. Differentiating neuroblastomas from other fetal suprarenal masses such as extralobar pulmonary sequestration, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, renal duplication, urinoma, gastric duplication cyst, and splenic cyst may be very difficult. However, improvements in ultrasound technology have made early detection possible and, combined with fetal MRI, facilitate differential diagnosis. Finally, prenatal diagnosis of a neuroblastoma is associated with a better prognosis, as it can resolve spontaneously either in utero or shortly after birth (Maki E, et al. J Ultrasound Med 2014; 33:895–904). \u0000 \u0000This is a case of a mixed cystic and solid suprarenal tumor that was identified during a routine antenatal visit in the third trimester of pregnancy and was diagnosed as an adrenal neuroblastoma. \u0000 \u0000Case description \u0000A 27-year-old pregnant woman presented to the outpatient clinic of Alexandra Maternity Hospital in Athens, Greece during the third trimester of her pregnancy.

The woman’s past medical history was uneventful. \u0000 \u0000During her pregnancy, she underwent prenatal testing including first trimester scan, anomaly scan, 3 rd trimester Doppler scan without any abnormal findings. During the initial ultrasound scan we detected one fetus in occiput anterior position. All growth parameters (biparietal diameter, head circumference, abdominal circumference, femur length, estimated fetal weight) and the amniotic fluid index were within normal range for the gestational age. During the scan a well circumscribed mass was detected over the left kidney ( Fig. 1 ). The mass appeared to have both cystic and solid areas and appeared to originate from the left adrenal gland ( Fig. 1 ). The anatomy of the left kidney was not altered. The mass measured 4.40 × 4.12 cm ( Fig. 2 ). Doppler evaluation did not reveal increased blood flow towards the mass nor a single feeding vessel ( Fig. 3 ). The right kidney and right adrenal gland appeared normal ( Fig. 4a and b). Extensive ultrasound examination of the fetus revealed no other abnormalities. After careful evaluation of the ultrasound appearance of the tumor, the diagnosis of adrenal neuroblastoma was suggested. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Open in a separate window \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Fig. 1 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000The mass is well circumscribed with both cystic and solid areas and appears to originate from the left adrenal gland.","PeriodicalId":44852,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasound International Open","volume":"5 3","pages":"E93-E95"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1055/a-1070-8651","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37570105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
