Sarcoma Botryoid of Vagina and Cervix in a three year old girl

(Institute of Medicine, 2000) Rana, Ashma; Gurung, Geeta; Devkota, Krishna; Amatya, Archana; Joshi, BR; Baral, Josie; Pradhan, Neelam; Sharma, Rashmi; Giri, Kanti

Abstract A three year old with three months history of abdominal lump, blood mixed vaginal discharge and occasional urinary retention was operated as a case of sarcoma botryoid of vagina and cervix. This was proven histologically. With surgery it was possible to remove a huge mass arising from cervix and vagina measuring 10X10 cm. It was almost mimicking central cervical myoma. Initial surgery was observed to be beneficial in this case as it showed immediate good results by providing reduction of total tumour mass. She was planned for combination chemotherapy with VAC; however she developed abdominopelvic recurrence very soon. Keywords: young girl, vaginal growth, rhabdomyosarcoma, sarcomabytryoids

Evaluation of child with short stature

(Institute of Medicine, 2000) Jain, Neeraj; Mangal, Vibha

Abstract Short stature, a common pediatric problem, has been variously defined as length/height under third percentile for age (according to international standard), under fifth percentile or below the 3rd standard deviation of mean age (according to ICMR standard) or when the child is small for the mid parental size (a rough statistical measurement of family height). A deceleration in the rate of growth to less than 4 cm/year is often serious and is usually the earliest sign of abnormality of growth. Keywords: Growth, hormone, short stature, mid parental height
