Abstract
Constitutional trisomy 18 causes Edwards syndrome, which is characterized by intellectual disability and a particular set of malformations. Although this condition carries high mortality during prenatal and early postnatal life, some of the rare infants who survive the first months develop benign and malignant tumors. To determine the tumor profile associated with Edwards syndrome, we performed a systematic review of the literature. This review reveals a tumor profile differing from those of Down (trisomy 21) and Patau (trisomy 13) syndromes. The literature covers 45 malignancies: 29 were liver cancers, mainly hepatoblastomas found in Japanese females; 13 were kidney tumors, predominantly nephroblastomas; 1 was neuroblastoma; 1 was a Hodgkin disease; and 1 was acute myeloid leukemia in an infant with both trisomy 18 and type 1 neurofibromatosis. No instances of the most frequent malignancies of early life-cerebral tumors, germ cell tumors, or leukemia--are reported in children with pure trisomy 18. Tumor occurrence does not appear to correlate with body weight, tissue growth, or cancer genes mapping to chromosome 18. Importantly, the most recent clinical histories report successful treatment; this raises ethical concerns about cancer treatment in infants with Edwards syndrome. In conclusion, knowledge of the Edwards' syndrome tumor profile will enable better clinical surveillance in at-risk organs (i.e., liver, kidney). This knowledge also provides clues to understanding oncogenesis, including the probably reduced frequency of some neoplasms in infants and children with this genetic condition. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
This report describes an unusual pancreatic tumor in a 3-year-old boy. He presented with abdominal pain secondary to pancreatitis and was found to have a complex, multicystic lesion within the head of the pancreas. He subsequently underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy. Grossly, the mass was 3 cm, multicystic, and well demarcated. Histologically, there were numerous variably sized, dilated ducts lined by tall columnar mucinous cells surrounded by a stroma that exhibited foci of cellular condensations resembling primitive pancreatic mesenchyme. Acinar and endocrine cells were often seen budding into the ducts forming "ductulo-insular bodies." As a result of its superficial resemblance to Stocker type 2 cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, we are proposing the name "multicystic adenomatoid hamartoma" for this lesion.

Abstract
According to autoptic studies, accessory spleens may be found in 10% to 15% of the population, in 1% to 2% they are located in the pancreatic tail. They thus have to be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of intra- and peripancreatic tumorous lesions. After splenorenal fusion, they can be found pararenally and retroperitoneally, and after splenogonadal fusion they can descend into the pelvis or scrotum. Since they usually are asymptomatic, they are mostly discovered accidentally. The diagnosis is ascertained by a scintigram with technetium-99-marked, heat-damaged red blood cells. If resection is necessary, the organ adherent to the encapsulated accessory spleen should be preserved. By means of three case reports (intrapancreatic accessory spleen, retroperitoneal accessory spleen and torsion-infarcted wandering spleen), the surgical relevance of ectopic splenic tissue is discussed.

Abstract
Splenopancreatic fusion is an uncommon finding, usually only seen as part of the splenopancreatic field abnormality associated with trisomy 13. It may present itself either as ectopic splenic tissue in the cauda pancreatis, as ectopic pancreatic tissue in the spleen or accessory spleen, or as fusion of the cauda pancreatis and splenic hilum. In this study, we report four unrelated congenital anomaly cases presenting trisomy 21, osteocraniostenosis syndrome, isolated congenital heart defect, and oligohydramnios sequence due to prune belly syndrome, in which fusion was observed. This demonstrates that, although it may be more common in trisomy 13, this phenomenon should not be interpreted as pathognomonic to that syndrome.

Abstract
Understanding the pathology of familial pancreatic carcinoma may provide important insights into pancreatic tumorigenesis. We now describe in detail the pancreatic pathology of an autosomal dominant pancreatic carcinoma kindred with distinct clinical, genetic, and pathologic manifestations differing from all other reported forms of sporadic or familial pancreatic neoplasia. Affected individuals develop a prodrome of diabetes mellitus, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, and characteristic pancreatic imaging abnormalities. Eleven family members have undergone total pancreatectomy, revealing a unique and characteristic fibrocystic, lobulocentric pancreatic atrophy. This was patchy to diffuse in distribution and was invariably associated with a nesidioblastosis-like endocrine cell hyperplasia. All but one resected pancreas demonstrated glandular epithelial dysplasia: 10 had low-grade dysplasia (pancreatic intraductal neoplasia grade II of III or PanIN II) and seven also had high-grade dysplasia (pancreatic intraductal neoplasia grade III of III or PanIN III). Dysplasia was multifocal in small-to medium-sized duct-like structures within areas of acinar atrophy, microcystic change, and mucinous hyperplasia. Two pancreata had carcinomas of multiple and unusual histologic subtypes, including small cell undifferentiated carcinoma and giant cell anaplastic carcinoma. The findings in this kindred yield important information on a distinctive and previously unrecognized pancreatic cancer precursor. Recognition of this entity may help identify additional kindreds and perhaps the underlying genetic defect. As is the case for other familial cancers, the as yet unknown specific genetic defect may have wider implications for pancreatic cancer in general.

Abstract
A review of the literature reveals numerous clinical case reports, systematic histologic analyses, epidemiologic studies, and large series of tumors showing that subjects with trisomy 8, 9, 13, 18, and 21 have an excess of hematologic and various solid tumors compared to the general population. These tumors more frequently affect particular organs for a given type of trisomy. A large proportion of tumors are observed during fetal and neonatal life, are incompletely developed, and subsequently regress. In older children or even adults, tumors are less frequent, are often found on the same organs as earlier in life, are more aggressive, and do not involute. The mechanism responsible for the development of these neoplasms could be similar to that which generates the malformations in these children and may result from cooperation of the chromosomal abnormality with physiologic growth phenomena, which are particularly active early in life. Trisomic subjects must be carefully followed in order to detect tumors as early as possible and to allow treatment under optimal conditions.

Abstract
This study presents a detailed histological analysis of two cases of splenosis, including one of the largest nodules to be reported. Splenosis may exhibit red and white pulp that appears histologically and immunohistochemically normal by routine methods, and a well-developed capsule and trabeculae may form. The capsule may be thicker than in the normal spleen but is otherwise indistinguishable and may contain fibrous, elastic and smooth muscle elements. These findings are in contrast to previously published works which have described poorly-developed white pulp, capsule and trabeculae in splenosis. The histological pattern may depend on the blood supply to the autotransplanted splenic tissue in the early days after implantation. The close resemblance that splenosis may show to an accessory spleen suggests that histological examination may have a limited role in the distinction between these two conditions.

Abstract
A multicystic pancreatic hamartoma is reported in a 20-month-old female who presented with abdominal pain and distention. This appears to be a distinctive lesion not previously characterized in the English language literature. The 9-cm mass consisted of large, irregular lobules of well-formed pancreatic acini admixed with fibrous tissue and fat. Cystically dilated ducts of variable caliber lined by benign epithelium were present. Endocrine cell islets were not evident. Immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural examination illustrated insulin-producing cells diffusely throughout the exocrine tissue as single cells or in small groups. Cells producing other pancreatic hormones were markedly decreased when compared with an age-matched control pancreas and were similarly dispersed. The patient was alive and well without tumor 9 months later. This entity may provide an unusual opportunity for insight into pancreatic organogenesis and pancreatic cellular differentiation.

Abstract
Anatomical and histopathological findings in 12 cases of trisomy 13 syndrome (nine with classic full trisomy and three with trisomy 13 and an unbalanced Robertsonian 13/13 translocation) are reported. Emphasis is on the brain defects, cardiovascular anomalies, and histological organ dysplasia. Eight patients showed abnormal development of the forebrain and midline facial structures (holoprosencephaly). Cardiovascular malformations were invariably present, the leading malformation being an infundibular ventricular septal defect often in combination with dextroposition of the aorta and abnormalities of the semilunar valves. Histological abnormalities giving evidence of organ dysplasia were observed in the central nervous system, eyes, pancreas, kidneys, and ovaries. Mild cystic renal dysplasia was a constant feature. Foci of persistent nodular renal blastema were found in six cases. The pancreatic dysplasia appears to be pathognomonic for trisomy 13. These observations illustrate the importance of pathological studies in the recognition of chromosome abnormalities and, more specifically, of trisomy 13 syndrome. Based on autopsy data, trisomy 13 can be diagnosed - or ruled out - with certainty, even in the absence of karyotyping.
