METHODS: This is a case report of a 10-month-old girl who presented with clinical signs of fever and weight loss over a period of four months. The patient was initially diagnosed with a febrile syndrome of unknown origin. However, upon further investigation, a Gastric IMT was found, and the patient required a left hepatectomy and subtotal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
CONCLUSIONS: In the pediatric population clinical findings are often nonspecific. Based on this case study, we conclude that, in children with palpable masses, IMT should always be considered as a diagnostic option.
方法:这是一例10个月大的女孩在4个月内出现发热和体重减轻的临床症状的病例报告。该患者最初被诊断患有不明原因的发热综合征。然而,经过进一步调查,发现了胃IMT,患者需要左肝切除术和胃大部切除术并进行Roux-en-Y重建术。
结论:在儿科人群中,临床发现通常是非特异性的。基于这个案例研究,我们的结论是,在有明显肿块的儿童中,IMT应始终被视为诊断选项。
