Table 1 Cases of gastric adenomyoma in children
Ref. | Gender | Age | Symptoms | Imaging | Preoperative diagnosis | Surgery |
Moiseenko[9], 1964 | Female | 5 months old | Esophageal reflux | Barium swallow indicated esophageal reflux | Esophageal reflux | Nissen fundoplication and mass excision |
Takeyama et al[16], 2007 | Female | 1 month old | Intermittent vomiting free of bile of one week | US demonstrated heterogeneous intramural mass of the pyloric region | Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis | Lesion excision |
Min et al[2], 2012 | Female | 5 years old | Intermittent epigastric pain, vomiting, poor oral intake, irritability, and fever | US and CT demonstrated a thick-walled cystic lesion; UGI showed an extrinsic mass with a lobulated contour without evidence of perforation | Gastric duplication cyst | Distal gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy |
Castain and Rullier[10], 2012 | Female | 4 months old | Vomiting, weight loss, and abdominal pain | US showed a non-circumscribed heterogeneous mass of the pyloric wall with microcystic features | Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis | Pyloric junction removal |
Rhim et al[17], 2013 | Male | 1 week old | Persistent vomiting | US showed asymmetrical submucosal thickening of the anterior wall of the pylorus and the lesion protruded into both luminal and serosal sides; UGI showed elongation and narrowing of the pyloric canal and shouldering of the antrum | Gastric outlet obstruction | Billroth I anastomosis |
Aljahdali et al[11], 2012 | Male | 13 days old | Progressive nonbilious vomiting | US demonstrated a hyperechoic intramural pyloric mass | Pyloric stenosis | Mass dissection and Graham patch repair |
Oviedo Gutiérrez et al[19], 2015 | Female | 49 days old | Nonbilious vomiting of 48 hours | US showed a nonobstructive nodular lesion in the anterior pyloric wall; MRI suggested a myofibroblastic tumor | Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis | Complete resection of the pyloric tumor |
Arslan et al[20], 2018 | Female | 5 years old | Abdominal pain, poor oral intake, and fever | US showed an intramural hypoechoic heterogeneous nodular mass; CT revealed a cystic lesion | Gastric duplication cyst | Mass excision, double-layer transverse anastomosis |
Kamrani et al[18], 2019 | Female | 15 years old | Nausea and vomiting over a period of two years | CT showed a circumferential prepyloric mass; EGD showed the distal antrum and proximal pylorus contained a frond-like circumferential nearly obstructing submucosal mass | Gastric duplication cyst | Distal gastrectomy with gastroduodenostomy |
