Narrow superior mediastinum and pseudomasses: CT features.

abstract：:Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis (DNH) is a rare disorder that usually presents in infancy and has a high mortality rate. We report a long-term adult survivor of DNH who presented with multiple calcifications in the bowel wall, liver, spleen, and adrenal glands on CT. Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis needs to be added...
