We report an interesting case of extraovarian, primary seromucinous cystadenoma, which presented as a mesenteric cyst. A 31-year-old woman came with complaints of lower abdominal pain for 2 years, which is intermittent and aggravated during the menstrual cycle. On examination, her vitals were within normal limits; per abdominal examination revealed 7×7 cm mass in the right lumbar and right hypochondrium with well-defined margins. A Contrast-enhanced whole abdomen done showed a thin-walled of cyst of size 7×8×9 cm in the right lumbar region abutting and replacing the mesenteric border of ascending colon suggesting of mesenteric cyst. Patient underwent laparoscopic excision of mesenteric cyst. Histopathology revealed seromucinous cystadenoma without ovarian stroma.

AbstractHirschsprung's disease is characterized by the absence of ganglia in the distal colon, resulting in a functional obstruction. It is managed by excision of the aganglionic segment and anastomosis of the ganglionated bowel just above the dentate line. The level of aganglionosis is determined by performing multiple seromuscular biopsies and/or full thickness biopsy on the antimesenteric border of the bowel to determine the level of pullthrough. The transition zone is described as being irregular, and hence a doughnut biopsy is recommended so that the complete circumference can be assessed. Herein, we described a child in whom there was a selective absence of ganglion cells in 30% of the circumference of the bowel along the mesenteric border for most of the transverse colon. This case defies the known concept of neural migration in an intramural and transmesenteric fashion and emphasizes the importance of a doughnut biopsy of the pulled-down segment.

Four dogs presented with linear gastrointestinal foreign body (FB) obstruction caused by impacted grass fibres. The material had become anchored within the pylorus in three dogs, causing necrosis and perforation of the mesenteric border of the affected intestinal segment. Gastrotomy and intestinal resection and anastomosis were performed. The fourth case presented acutely with no intestinal necrosis or perforation, with the fibres removed via enterotomy. One dog suffered severe postoperative ileus that failed to respond to medical management. Continued deterioration prompted euthanasia 12 days postoperatively. The other three dogs survived and were discharged without complication. Grass has not previously been reported as a cause of linear gastrointestinal obstruction in dogs. It has, however, the potential to cause severe necrosis and perforation of the intestine and should be recognised as a potential linear FB in dogs.

In a Richter’s hernia, only part of the anti-mesenteric border of the bowel is incarcerated within the underlying defect. We report three cases presenting between 18 days and 11 years following proctectomy. As all patients had functioning stomas a high index of suspicion is necessary to avoid a delay in diagnosis.

Introduction The high rate of recurrence following ileocaecal resection for Crohn’s disease may lead to repeat surgery in 20–30% of patients at five years after surgery. Recurrence usually occurs at the anastomosis and the neoterminal ileum and the association of a strictureplasty to widen the bowel lumen in the regions immediately proximal (‘anastomotic inlet’) and distal (‘anastomotic outlet’) to the anastomosis may delay or reduce the risk of surgical recurrence. Materials and methods A side to side isoperistaltic anastomosis, with an associated V-modified strictureplasty on the anti-mesenteric border at the level of the anastomosis inlet and outlet has been designed. We produced a wet lab ex vivo model of the anastomosis and, to evaluate the different calibre of the anastomotic segments, we compared it with ex vivo models of three anastomotic configurations currently used in surgery for Crohn’s disease: i) side to side isoperistaltic anastomosis; ii) modified side-to-side isoperistaltic anastomosis with double Heineke–Mikulicz procedure (Sasaki anastomosis); iii) anti-mesenteric functional end-to-end handsewn anastomosis (Kono-S anastomosis). Results Differences were recorded at the level of the anastomosis inlet and outlet, with a larger volume estimated in the Sasaki anastomosis and in the V-modified anastomosis. The V-modified anastomosis had a larger volume compared with the Sasaki anastomosis for a longer segment of small bowel. Conclusions We have developed an experimental animal model for a new anastomotic technique which could be applied in surgery for Crohn’s disease following small-bowel or ileocolic resection.

Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly affecting the gastrointestinal tract. It is located on the anti-mesenteric border of the small intestine and occurs due to incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct during embryogenesis. Tumors, particularly cancers, are rare complications of MD. Carcinoids are the most common malignancies in this site. Adenocarcinomas are extremely rare and carry a poor prognosis. Here, we present the case of adenocarcinoma of MD presenting as Krukenberg tumor in a 42-year-old lady and causing a diagnostic dilemma. Pelviabdominal examination revealed large bilateral adnexal masses along with ascites and computed tomography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology from the right adnexal mass was suggestive of adenocarcinoma. At exploratory laparotomy, a MD was found with hard intramural growth palpable at the tip of MD adnexal deposits and omental caking. Immunohistochemistry revealed CK 7- and CK 20+ve and also CDX2 positive. The rarity of presentation of bilateral adnexal mass due to primary adenocarcinoma of MD urges us to report this case.
