Diagnosis by Resolution: Ultrasound Follow‐Up of Neonatal Polypoid Cystitis Mimicking Botryoid Rhabdomyosarcoma

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In neonatal bladder masses, benign inflammatory conditions like polypoid cystitis can mimic malignancy on ultrasound.

Eosinophilia and Hypereosinophilia: A Practical Approach to Navigating a Broad Differential Diagnosis

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...
