ABSTRACT Desmoid tumour of the colon is a very rare and aggressive type of intra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis. Patients can present with a range of symptoms from a mild chronic abdominal pain to those of an acute abdomen. We present a rare case of abdominal fibromatosis that presented as a rapidly growing mass with free intraperitoneal gas. Intraoperatively however, we found a large tumour arising from the wall of the transverse colon and local necrosis. No bowel perforation was noted. The tumour was removed with a wide resection of transverse colon’s wall instead of colectomy. The histopathology reported benign fibromatosis and excluded malignancy.

AbstractObjective:We report an extremely rare case of maxillary haemangioma.Method:Case report and review of the literature concerning haemangioma arising from the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.Results:Maxillary haemangioma is rare and sometimes requires wider resection than nasal haemangioma if a large tumour is found. We present a case of maxillary haemangioma in a 37-year-old Japanese woman, which was completely resected by pre-operative embolisation and endoscopic sinus surgery.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that if a large maxillary haemangioma is diagnosed pre-operatively, the treatment of choice is pre-operative embolisation followed by endoscopic sinus surgery, in order to avoid the surgical complications associated with wide resection.

AbstractSmall bowel diverticulosis is a rare finding, with varied clinical presentations, which make the diagnosis difficult and delayed. Many cases are asymptomatic. However, it is an entity that can present with fatal complications. Here, we present a case of a 79-year-old male patient with diffuse small bowel diverticulosis, who presented with loose stools and acute exacerbation of chronic abdominal pain. Plain abdominal X-ray showed dilated bowel loops and pneumoperitoneum, which raised the possibility of bowel perforation. Computed tomography images revealed diffuse small bowel diverticulosis and pneumoperitoneum. Subsequent explorative laparotomy revealed no bowel perforation. Small bowel diverticulosis is a well-known cause of chronic/recurrent pneumoperitoneum without peritonitis or surgery.

The Common

Pseudocysts are one of the common complications of chronic pancreatitis. Usually they present with chronic abdominal pain and obstructive symptoms. The symptomatology mainly correlates with the location of the pseudocysts. Thoracopantreatic pseudocysts are rarely encountered in surgical practice. They can present in the acute setting with hemoptysis or rupture. They can also have an indolent course with dysphagia and other mass effects. We report a rare case of mediastinal pseudocyst with rupture into the bronchus causing massive haemoptysis.

Close Proximity

Chordomas are rare primary, locally invasive tumour of the bone which derived from notochordal remnants. Currently, the mainstay of treatment of chordomas is surgical resection. Despite the clear advantages of adequate surgical margin, the locally advanced nature of chordomas makes wide resection of the tumour difficult as they are often in close proximity with the surrounding vital organs. The published literatures of sacral chordomas mainly focus on the approach of surgery, reconstruction post-resection, long-term survival and reports on successful surgical resection. We report a case which highlights the pitfall in the surgical management of a sacral chordoma. Our patient developed delayed bowel perforation which may be associated with the sacrum osteotomy.   Keywords: chordoma; sacrum; surgery; pitfall; outcome.
