Clinical findings of ____ include:
- Pallor, lethargy, retarded growth
- Organomegaly
- Rodent facies
- Repeated transfusions → hemochromatosis → cardiac failure/death
B-Thhalessemia major

Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
Most common childhood malignancy (peak age 2-5 years)
Acute childhood leukemia (acute lymphocytic)
Imaging findings of ____ include:
- Osteopenia
- Lucent metaphyseal bands
- Periostitis
- Lytic bone lesions
- Splenomegaly
- Chloroma a soft tissue tumor of myeloid tissue (rare)
Acute childhood leukemia
What condition is most likely the cause of these findings?
Acute childhood leukemia - lucent metaphyseal bands (other differentials such as rickets)
What condition is most likely the cause of these findings?
Acute childhood leukemia - lytic bone lesions (differentials = Ewings, osteomyelitis, etc.)
Deficiency of clotting factor VIII =
Hemophilia A (most common)
Deficiency in clotting factor IX =
Hemophila B
Clinical manifestations of ____ include:
- Spontaneous bleeding or bleeding from minimal traum
- Bleeding into joint (hemarthrosis) initiates and inflammatory response in the joint
- Joint changes visualized on imaging are a result of this inflammatory process and that is why juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a differential diagnosis
Hemophilia
Imaging findings of ___ include:
- Overgrowth of epiphyses
- Squared patella•Widened intercondylar notch
- Tibiotalar slant
- Osteopenia
- Increased soft tissue density around joints (due to hemosiderin deposits into synovium)
- Hemophilic pseudotumor (most common in femur and ilium)
Hemophilia
