Abstract Hydatid disease is caused by a tape worm Echinococcus Granulosus that lives in the intestines of the definitive host which is the dog or other carnivore. Human is the accidental intermediate host and become infected by ingesting contaminated vegetables or water with the eggs of the parasite. A-37-year old male presented with right side abdominal pain for 2 months. Abdominal examination showed a large right side abdominal mass extending from the right subcostal region to the right iliac fossa. CT-scan showed two cystic lesions in the right lobe of the and a third one extending to the pelvis. During surgery aspiration of 10 liters of bile stained fluid done. Excision of the cysts done. Tube drain put inside the cyst cavity with omentoplasty. There was bile leak to the drain which stopped over one month. The patient received anthelminthic medication for 3 months.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity of neoplastic origin. It usually occurs in children and adolescents and most commonly involves pulmonary and gastrointestinal sites. Here, the authors present two cases; one is the nine months old boy with a subcutaneous IMT in the left temporal region that was treated successfully with surgical resection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a subcutaneous IMT in this particular region. The second is an eight years old girl with an IMT of the right hemi-pelvis. The mass had complete surgical excision with clear margins and no residual disease. She was kept on regular follow-up with ultrasound abdomen. However, her disease relapsed with the appearance of lesions in right iliac fossa, right ovary, and liver. Biopsy of the relapsed abdominal mass confirmed ALK-positive IMT. She was treated with ALK inhibitor Crizotinib. She was monitored with regular blood complete picture, hepatic and renal function test, and ultrasound abdomen. Her lesions started regressing within one month, and she achieved complete remission after 6 months of treatment.

Adrenal hemangioma is an extremely rare benign and non-functioning neoplasm of the adrenal gland. We report a case of a 71-year-old woman admitted for intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal distension associated with vomiting and chronic constipation for 5 years. Physical examination revealed a large abdominal mass. Both computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging suggested hemangioma in the right lobe of the liver. Laboratory examinations and tumour markers were within normal limits, except for hypochromic microcytic anemia. The mass was removed intact by conventional surgery and histopathology revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland with no signs of malignancy. Surgical resection was curative, with no recurrence at the 2-year follow-up.

Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare endocrine disease in the pediatric population. Sporadic parathyroid adenomas remain the most common cause of pediatric PHPT. Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an extremely rare cause of pediatric PHPT. We report a 16-year-old boy presenting with a nonhealing fragility fracture of the right leg along with florid features of rickets. Examination revealed a neck mass, mimicking a goiter. Biochemical findings were consistent with PHPT. Imaging was suggestive of a right inferior parathyroid mass infiltrating the right lobe of thyroid. The patient underwent en bloc surgical excision of the parathyroid mass along with the right lobe of thyroid. Histopathology was suggestive of a PC. He achieved biochemical remission with normalization of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. At follow-up, there was no biochemical or imaging evidence of recurrence or metastasis. Genetic analysis revealed heterozygous germline deletion of CDC73. An extensive literature search on PC was conducted, with an emphasis on the pediatric population. Thirteen cases of pediatric PC were identified. The median age of presentation was 13 years; there was no sex predilection. All cases were symptomatic; 31% had a visible neck mass. The median serum calcium and intact parathyroid hormone levels were 14.3 mg/dL and 2000 pg/mL, respectively. All patients underwent surgical excision, with 27% showing metastatic relapse. Our findings indicate that the preoperative features that could point toward a diagnosis of PC in a child with PHPT are a tumor size of >3 cm, thyroid infiltration on imaging, and severe hypercalcemia at presentation.

AbstractIn unusual cases of malrotation or incomplete rotation of caecum , the appendix is not located in the lower right quadrant. When the caecum is high [subhepatic caecum] the appendix is located in the right hypochondriac region and the pain in these cases is located there, not in the lower right quadrant. In this position , the symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis may mimic acute cholecystitis, diagnosis in such cases is a great diagnostic challenge. The author observed this less frequent anomaly in a middle aged male cadaver. After opening the abdomen while tracing peritoneal reflections abnormality was identified. The caecum and appendix were present in relation with inferior surface of liver. Embryologically, the caecal swelling appears as a small conical dilation of the caudal limb of primitive intestinal loop and it is the last part of the gut to reenter the abdominal cavity. It is temporarily located in the right upper quadrant directly below the right lobe of liver. From here it descends into the right iliac fossa. The failure to descend leads to subhepatic caecum.

A 27 years old women para -1 had a complaint of dullache pain in right iliac fossa for 5 days with irregular spotting. Her previous menstrual cycle was normal but in last one month she had an irregular spotting. On examination she was normotensive. Hb% was 65%. there was no tenderness during per abdominal examination but tenderness during per vaginal examination on right side. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TUVS) detected a degenerative sub serous fibroid of 3.5 x 3 cm on the right fundoanterior side, both adnexae were normal, no fluid was present in cul-de-sac. Her pregnancy test was positive but signs and symptoms of pregnancy were absent. Operative plan was intervention by laparoscope. An unruptured interstitial ectopic pregnancy was found at the anterolateral wall of the fundus. Laparoscopic excision was done and the uterine wall sutured with 2/0 polyprolylin. Post operative outcome was good. DOI: 10.3329/jbcps.v26i3.4199 J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2008; 26: 147-148

Congenital anomalies of the uterus may result from maldevelopment, abnormal fusion or failure of recanalisation of the paramesonephric (Müllerian) ducts. They are uncommon and are associated with various fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Uterine anomalies have been associated with infertility and pregnancy-related complications. Some cases of successful pregnancies among women with a bicornuate uterus have been reported. However, successful twin pregnancy in a bicornuate uterus is very rare. We report the case of a 24-year-old primigravida who presented with a retained second twin secondary to an undiagnosed bicornuate uterus. An abdominal examination revealed an enlarged abdomen with the uterus tilted to the right and also a palpable firm mass on the left iliac fossa. The retained foetus was presenting cephalic, and the foetal heart rate was 118 bpm. A diagnosis of a retained second twin secondary to a suspected uterine anomaly and suspected foetal distress was made. An emergency caesarean section revealed two horns of the uterus, each having a fallopian tube, an ovary and a cervix. Both cervices opened into one vagina. A 3.0 kg live male baby was successfully delivered through a transverse incision on the lower segment of the right horn of the uterus. The client had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home together with her babies after 4 days. In conclusion, congenital anomalies of the uterus should be considered in cases of a retained second twin. A prompt and accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate management will go a long way in ensuring a good outcome, as was had in this case.

Introduction. Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is a benign lesion presenting as an enlarging abdominal mass in children less than 2 years of age. Fewer than 5% cases are present in individuals over 5 years of age, and this lesion is extremely rare in adults. It may affect the left or the right lobe of liver as a cystic or solid mass or both components may be present. The pathogenesis remains incompletely understood, but these lesions have generally been considered to represent a development abnormality in the bile duct plate formation. Case Report. In this report, we present a case of a 44-year-old man who was surgically treated at the Department of Abdominal, Endocrine and Transplantation Surgery of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina due to cystic lesion in the liver segment IV that had been verified by computed tomography imaging diagnostics. The patient was sent from a smaller health center with the diagnosis of echinococcosis. After the adequate preparation of the patient, surgical excision of the liver cystic lesion was done. Once a thorough histological examination had been performed, the diagnosis of mesenchymal hamartoma was made. Conclusion. Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is a benign tumor resulting from abnormal, intra-uterine development of bile ducts and has a delayed clinical manifestation, thus this lesion appears to be related to the processes of maturation. It is potentially premalignant lesion presenting as a solid and/or cystic neoplasm. Symptoms, laboratory results and radiographic imaging are nonspecific and inconclusive, so surgical excision of the whole lesion is the imperative for the definitive diagnosis.

Abstract Background Hydatid disease is relatively uncommon in children and thus rarely reported in literature. Pediatric patients with large hydatid cysts can have grave complications due to mass effect. Postoperative bile leak is the most common morbidity and continues to be a challenge for the treating surgeon. Case presentation A 7-year-old boy diagnosed with a giant hydatid cyst of the liver, almost replacing the right lobe, and underwent a laparotomy and excision of cyst with tube drainage. He developed postoperative major bile leak which did not subside even after a redo laparotomy and closure of the suspected bile leak areas. The child underwent a third laparotomy after a hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HIDA scan) which confirmed a persisting major leak. A Roux En Y cystojejunostomy was done this time which drained the bile adequately postoperatively with no evidence of bile in the subhepatic drain. Oral feeds were resumed on the fifth postoperative day. He was discharged in a satisfactory condition and is doing well in the follow-up. Repeat HIDA scan showed no evidence of spillage, with adequate bilio-enteric drainage. Conclusion Persistent major bile leak requiring ERCP with sphincterotomy can be managed successfully in children by internal drainage as Roux En Y cystojejunostomy.

A 55-year-old woman, with no medical history, presented with acute right flank pain. She had no history of other urinary complaints. On physical examination, the patient was tachycardic (pulse rate: 100bpm) and tachypneic (respiratory rate: 24 breaths/min), blood pressure was11/6 and temperature was 37.4°. The abdominal examination showed severe tenderness in the right flank and the right iliac fossa. All blood reports were normal, including C-reactive protein, cell blood count and serum creatinine. Computed Tomography of the abdomen revealed a right hydronephrosis with delayed phase contrast leak and a retroperitoneal mass of 48x36mm of unknown nature, enhanced after contrast injection, which seemed to compress the right ureter causing the forniceal rupture. A double J ureteral stent was insterted into the right renal cavities with favorable evolution and immediate resolution of pain. Surgical management of the mass was scheduled one month later after the inflammatory phase and resorption of the urinoma. The patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperatively, a tissular retroperitoneal mass of 4 cm was discovered which invadedthe right proximal ureter as well asthe duodenum and the ileocecal pedicle (Figure 1). Resection of the tumor was performed as well as a segmental ureterectomy, right colectomy, and resection of a small portion of the duodenum. Both ureteric and colic anastomosis were then performed along with duodenal suture. The post operative course was uneventful.

Abstract Background Mesenchymal hamartoma is the second most common benign liver tumor in children, with 20% of the cases diagnosed during the neonatal period. The exact etiology in still unclear, and most investigators believe that it is a developmental anomaly rather than a true neoplasm. The presentation of these tumors is highly variable depending on the lesion’s size, ranging from small asymptomatic lesions to very large tumors with life threatening complications. Radical surgical excision, whenever possible, is the gold standard for treating these lesions to avoid the problems of local recurrence and possible malignant transformation. We present the rare occurrence of an entirely solid, giant hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma in a 3-week-old male newborn and discuss the mode of presentation, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Case presentation A 3-week-old male newborn was referred to our institution with huge abdominal distension and respiratory distress. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of a very large solid intraabdominal mass occupying the majority of the abdominal cavity and abutting the inferior aspect of the right lobe of the liver, but did not reveal the diagnosis. At laparotomy, a huge solid mass was found attached to the right lobe of the liver. Complete excision was done, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mesenchymal hamartoma. Conclusion Although rare, mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver can present as a neonatal surgical emergency. Emergency intervention is required in symptomatic patients. Radical surgical intervention is possible and is the treatment of choice to relieve the patient’s symptoms and avoid future complications.
