Title: Laparoscopic Approach in Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis and Colelithiasis: a Case Report. Background: Situs Inversus Totalis is a rare clinical condition that gives a mirror aspect to the position of the organs. It is a congenital condition and though it does not affect normal health or longevity, it may be a challenge in cases requiring surgical intervention. Case: The authors report a case of cholelithiasis in a patient with previous diagnosis of Situs Inversus Totalis. The patient presented abdominal pain, related to eating and associated with nausea and vomiting. After the image exams, it was performed the surgical procedure, without intercurrences. Conclusion:Situs Inversus Totalis is a challenge for surgical approach because of the mirrored configuration of the organs, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Using image exams anda complete evaluation of the patient helps the correct management in caso of surgical procedures, and consequently influence in the prognosis.

Introduction. Hydatid disease is caused by the tapewormEchinococcus granulosusand is still a matter of public health in many regions of the world, where it is an endemic parasitic disease. Although the liver is the most involved organ, hydatidosis can be found anywhere in the human body. Rare forms of location may lead to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.Case Report. Herein we report a rare case of acute abdominal pain and progressively increasing abdominal distension due to abdominal and multiple splenic echinococcosis in a 72-year-old Caucasian male. We also provide a brief review of the literature.Conclusion. Although hydatid disease is found most often in the liver and lungs, rarely any organ of the body can be involved by this zoonosis. Though rare, the possibility of unusual location of echinococcosis must always be considered by the operating surgeon, when dealing with diffuse abdominal pain in endemic areas, because any misinterpretation may result in unfavorable outcomes.

Duct Stricture

Abstract Background. Situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomical variation of both the thoracic and the abdominal organs. Common bile duct strictures can be caused by malignant and benign diseases as well. 7-18% of the latter ones are 'malignant masquerade’ cases, as pre-operative differentiation is difficult. Case presentation. We present the case of a 68y male patient with known situs inversus totalis and a recent onset of obstructive jaundice caused by a malignant behaving common bile duct stricture. Technically difficult endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, brush cytology, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, and percutaneous transhepatic drainage with stent implantation were performed for proper diagnosis. Cholecystectomy, common bile duct resection with hilar lymphadenectomy and a hepatico-jejunostomy has been performed following multidisciplinary consultation. The final histology report did not confirm any clear malignancy, the patient is doing well.Conclusion. In situs inversus patients, both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can lead to various difficulties. Benign biliary strictures are frequently misdiagnosed preoperatively as cholangiocellular carcinoma. The surgery is usually unavoidable, involving a significant risk of complications.The co-existence of these two difficult diagnostic and therapeutic features made our case challenging.
