Congenital Mass Lesions of the Thoracic Cavity- A Fetal Autopsy Study.
Objectives: Congenital thoracic mass lesions are generally benign but can cause significant morbidity and mortality due to airway obstruction. This study highlights the role of perinatal autopsy in identifying these lesions and correlates autopsy findings with prenatal imaging.
Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of fetal autopsies with thoracic mass lesions was conducted over 9 years. A standardized autopsy protocol, including fixation, photography, foetogram, external examination, en-bloc removal, internal examination, and organ block dissection, was followed and compared with prenatal imaging results.
Results: Of 426 fetal autopsies, 20 (4.6%) had thoracic mass lesions. The most common lesion was diaphragmatic hernia (9 cases, 45%), followed by congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (3 cases, 15%). Agreement with prenatal ultrasonography was observed in only 4 cases (20%).
Conclusion: Fetal autopsy is crucial for identifying thoracic mass lesions and determining the cause of death, aiding in genetic counseling and management of future pregnancies.
期刊介绍:
Fetal and Pediatric Pathology is an established bimonthly international journal that publishes data on diseases of the developing embryo, newborns, children, and adolescents. The journal publishes original and review articles and reportable case reports.
The expanded scope of the journal encompasses molecular basis of genetic disorders; molecular basis of diseases that lead to implantation failures; molecular basis of abnormal placentation; placentology and molecular basis of habitual abortion; intrauterine development and molecular basis of embryonic death; pathogenisis and etiologic factors involved in sudden infant death syndrome; the underlying molecular basis, and pathogenesis of diseases that lead to morbidity and mortality in newborns; prenatal, perinatal, and pediatric diseases and molecular basis of diseases of childhood including solid tumors and tumors of the hematopoietic system; and experimental and molecular pathology.
