| Abstract |
Diaphragmatic mesothelial cysts are rare benign congenital lesions with typical imaging findings. To present imaging and treatment outcomes in 30 children with diaphragmatic mesothelial cyst. We conducted a retrospective chart review and recorded demographic data, imaging findings, treatment and US follow-up results, initial and final volume of the cysts and length of follow-up period for each case of diaphragmatic mesothelial cyst in a specialist hospital. The study included 30 children (16 girls, age range 1-17 years, mean age 7.9 years) diagnosed with diaphragmatic mesothelial cyst between January 2010 and December 2015. Imaging findings included thin-walled bilobulated or oval-shape cysts located between the diaphragm and right lobe of the liver. Treatment consisted of percutaneous drainage in 17 children and was successful in all. Cysts disappeared completely in 12 of these 17 children (70.5%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 44-90%). Mean volume reduction was 98%. No complication or mortality was seen. The other 13 children were followed with US without treatment. In 4 of these 13 children (30.8%, 95% CI 9-61%), cysts spontaneously decreased in size. No cyst increased in size. In children with typical imaging findings, percutaneous drainage appears safe and effective when treatment is deemed necessary. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 September 2016.
All research outputs
#15,379,760
of 22,880,230 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Radiology
#1,332
of 2,087 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#223,009
of 352,124 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Radiology
#21
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,230 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,087 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,124 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
