Background: Split/fracture and embolization of central venous/shunt catheters are rare but serious complications in children. Percutaneous retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies is an important minimal invasive treatment. This study is aimed to represent our largest pediatric sample experience till now of 17 years from a single institution. Another aim is to compare the results regarding the removal or leaving in place of embolized or ruptured intravascular or cardiac venous catheter parts in children. Patients and Methods: A total of 26 cases were included in this study. Any pediatric patient with normal coagulation parameters and a fractured catheter fragment was included in this study. Other intravascular foreign bodies related to interventional devices and/or pacemaker/implantable cardiac defibrillator leads were excluded from this study. Results: Twenty-six patients, of whom 25 had oncologic diseases and 1 had a ventriculoatrial shunt, were included. The median age was 83.5 months (between 20 mo and 18 y) at treatment. Superior vena cava (9 cases), followed by the right atrium (5 cases), were the most two common sites of embolization for cardiovascular foreign bodies. The success rate of percutaneous retrieval was 92.3% in all patients. There were neither complications nor deaths. The retrieval technique revealed a predisposition for extraction through the femoral vein (96.1%) and using snare techniques (100%). Additional catheters like pigtail, National Institutes of Health, or ablation catheters were used for stabilization in selective cases in which the permanent central venous fragments stuck to the vessels. A tractional maneuver and capturing the ruptured material in the middle were other trick points for successful retrieval. Patients were asymptomatic in 76.9% of cases (20/26). Conclusion: Percutaneous retrieval of cardiovascular foreign bodies is a reasonable, safe, and effective way in children when the catheter fragments are free and mobile. It should be considered the preferred treatment option instead of surgery. In patients where catheter fragments are stuck and are adherent to vessels, it could be left, and followed up by anticoagulation. Novel techniques accompanied by an experienced team could be helpful in difficult cases.

BACKGROUNDS
Abdominal pain is one of the most common symptoms of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Abdominal pain can vary from mild to severe and may present as acute abdomen. Severe abdominal pain in patients with MIS-C should be differentiated from surgical causes of acute abdomen to prevent unnecessary surgery.
METHODS
The diagnosis of MIS-C was based on WHO and CDC recommended criteria. Records of children treated for MIS-C between September 2020 and January 2021 were reviewed retrospectively.
RESULTS
In a short time, we encountered seven patients who were diagnosed with MIS-C and showed acute abdomen findings. There were four male and three female patients. The median age was 9 years. Fever, abdominal pain and distension were present in all. The median duration of symptoms was 4 days. Five patients had general abdominal tenderness mimicking acute abdomen. Three patients had right lower quadrant tenderness mimicking acute appendicitis. After the initiation of immunomodulatory therapy and antibiotics, the physical examination findings were improved step by step in all. The median time to initiate oral feeding was 2 days. The median length of hospitalization time was 8 days.
CONCLUSION
Serial abdominal examinations performed by the same surgeon enabled us to follow these patients conservatively and thus avoid unnecessary surgical intervention.

BACKGROUND
Giant cell tumor is a rare and locally aggressive neoplasm of the long bones in children. Rib is the least frequently affected site, seen in less than 1% of all cases and most of them occur at the posterior arc.
CASE
A 12-year-old girl presented with swelling and slight pain on the left inferior-anterior chest wall for two years. Physical examination revealed a giant, hard and fixed mass on the left chest wall. Hematological and biochemical test results were in normal limits but slight elevation of alkaline phosphatase level. Computed tomography of the chest showed a large expansive mass and lytic lesion with internal calcification arising from the anterior part of the 7th rib. En-bloc resection was performed including the 6th-8th ribs and a small part of the diaphragm. The pathological evaluation revealed giant cell tumor of bone.
CONCLUSIONS
Herein, we aim to emphasize that giant cell tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chest wall tumors in childhood whereby en-bloc resection and close follow up would be paramount.

Abstract Juvenile granulosa cell tumor (JGCT) is the most common type of sex cord stromal tumor arising from gonadal structures of children and young adults. We present a 3.5-year-old girl with JGCT located in retroperitoneum without ovarian involvement. Extragonadal occurrences of other sex cord stromal tumors have been rarely reported, but this is the first case of JGCT in an extragonadal location. We speculate the possible underlying mechanism of sex cord stromal tumor formation in extragonadal locations. Furthermore, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and management of this tumor in childhood are discussed.

Ardıçlı B, Karaman A, Özyazıcı A, Zenciroğlu A, Okumuş N. Isolated thoracoschisis: Case report. Turk J Pediatr 2017; 59: 217-220. Thoracoschisis is a rare congenital anomaly that refers to a congenital fissure of the chest wall. It is frequently accompanied with other congenital defects of the limbs and the abdominal wall as part of the limb-body wall complex, which is exencephaly/encephalocele and facial clefts, thoracoschisis and/or abdominoschisis and limb defects. Isolated thoracoschisis is a rare entity. We present a case of isolated thoracoschisis. A 24-week gestational age boy presented with a 3 cm chest wall defect in the left lateral 10th intercostal space and intestines herniating through the defect. There was no history of maternal drug use during pregnancy. Birth weight was 500 g. He underwent surgery. The intestines were reduced via the thoracic wall defect.
