Colon Duplication

Gastrointestinal duplications are extremely rare congenital abnormalities having definite difficulties to be diagnosed preoperatively. Most of them are presented at the oesophagus and ileum and only involve colon from 4% to 18%. We illustrate a case report of an 18-year-old female patient with transverse colon duplication. There were symptom manifestations such as chronic constipation with flatulence accompanied with abdominal pain. We demonstrate this case report due to non-specific clinical presentation and some difficulties to form preoperative diagnosis. The patient underwent surgery. Tubular transverse colon duplication communicated with normal bowel in the proximal part was revealed. We performed transverse colon resection with duplication. The postoperative period was uneventful.

AbstractCellular angiofibroma (CA)is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. In women, it occurs mainly in the vulvovaginal region, with vulvar location in 70% of the cases. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and similar to several other vulvar tumors of different cellular origins. Thus, its histological and immunohistochemical features allow distinction from other tumors. Cellular angiofibromas have good prognosis, despite some risk of relapse. The authors present the case of a 49-year-old woman with a bulky right vulvar lesion, for which the preoperative diagnosis was a Bartholin cyst, but the histological and immunohistochemical evaluation yielded a CA.

Wild mushroom poisoning from the genus Amanita is a medical emergency, with Amanita phalloides being the most common offender. Patients may complain of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain. If not aggressively treated, fulminant hepatic failure may develop within several days of ingestion. In this case report, a patient poisoned withAmanita bisporigerais described, along with the typical clinical presentation, patient outcomes, and treatment options for dealing with an Amanita mushroom poisoning.

Congenital Hypertrichosis Lanugionsa is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, with fewer than 50 cases reported in the literature. It is characterized by excessive lanugo hair, sparing only the mucous membranes, palms and soles. It may be associated with other organic abnormalities and should form part of the dermatologist's current knowledge. We discuss some aspects of the syndrome in question arising from the case report of a 2-year-old female patient, black, with classic clinical presentation, with no other associated congenital abnormalities.

Intussusception in adults is rare, accounting for only 5% of all cases of intussusceptions and only 1% of bowel obstruction. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult due to non specific symptoms and subacute nature. This case report was a per-operatively diagnosed adult colo-colic intussusception induced by a lipoma which mimicked a sigmoid polyp on colonoscopy. A 40-year-old Bengali woman was admitted with two weeks history of colicky lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound abdomen was unremarkable. Colonoscopy revealed a moderately enlarged sigmoid polyp at 25 cm from the anal verge. A midline incision laparotomy was performed only to reveal a colo-colic intussusception. The intussusception was reduced and the patient underwent a segmental resection of the involved bowel. Histological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma of the colon. The patient however satisfactory recovery and remains well six months after surgery. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jssmc.v5i1.16226 J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2013;5(1):72-74

Colon Volvulus

Introduction. Transverse colon volvulus is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction in general. Predisposing factors are mental retardation, dysmotility disorders, chronic constipation and congenital megacolon. Case report. We presented transverse colon volvulus in a 16-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. Chronic constipation in neurologicaly impaired patient was a risk factor predisposing to volvulus. The patient was admitted to the hospital with enormous abdominal distension and acute respiratory insufficiency. A boy was emergently taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy. During the surgery, a 360? clockwise volvulus of the transverse colon was found. After reduction of volvulus, an enormous transverse colon was resected and colostomy was formed. In the postoperative period, despite the good functioning of stoma and intraabdominal normotension, numerous and long lasting respiratory problems developed. The patient was discharged from our institution after 8 months. Conclusion. Though very rare in pediatric group, the possibility of a transverse colon volvulus must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute large bowel obstruction.

Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas is a rare benign vascular tumor. Its histogenesis is still hypothetical and its preoperative diagnosis difficult to establish. We report a case in a 26-year-old boy who presented with abdominal pain with the notion of a constipation-type transit disorder. Radiological investigations showed an intraperitoneal mesenteric cystic tumor. A complete resection of the mass was performed. Pathological examination of the operative specimen confirmed the presence of cystic formations, the wall of no need keep it.to the end which was lined by a squamous, endothelial epithelium with a fibrous wall dotted with a few lymphoid clusters in favor of cystic lymphangioma.

Previous Medical History

We are reporting a case of previously undiagnosed hepatoblastoma in a healthy child, who presented acutely in a post-traumatic setting. We reported a 7-year-old boy, with no previous medical history, presented with gradual worsening abdominal pain following an episode of trivial trauma to the abdomen two weeks prior. He was anaemic at presentation, and had a distended abdomen with a tender enlarged liver. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed a grossly enlarged left lobe of the liver, within which was an organized hematoma. Serum alphafetoprotein (α-FP) was raised significantly. The liver injury was managed conservatively and the child recovered well. He is set to undergo staging scans and further workup, in anticipation of subsequent systemic therapy. Though exceedingly unlikely in older children, the diagnosis of hepatoblastoma should be entertained in those with an enlarged liver with a clinical presentation masquerading as a ‘straightforward’ liver injury.

Uncommon Condition

Colonic intussusception caused by benign tumour in adults is uncommon condition. Lipoma as benign tumour arises from submucosal layer of gastrointestinal tract and derives from mature adypocytes. It is usually small asymptomatic lesion and reveals during colonoscopy, CT, surgery or autopsy accidentally. However, in cases with large size it may cause abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, anaemia, bleeding or intussusceptions. We present a 52-year-old female patient with colonic intussusception caused by lipoma of the transverse colon and with congenital dolichocolon. The patient had several episodes of bowel obstructions which were treated conservatively. We performed elective open extended right hemicolectomy, ileotransversostomy end-to-end.

Abstract We present a patient who was managed surgically for cholecystogastric fistula. The patient was presented with nonspecific symptoms (upper abdominal pain, belching) and, after being investigated, was proceeded for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones. Unexpectedly, intraoperative, she was found to have cholecystogastric fistula, which was operated with open single-stage approach. We highlight the incidence of these cases, the difficult preoperative clinical presentation and possible diagnostic imaging; explain further about the different surgical approaches to manage these cases and finally review the literature regarding the presentation and the management of bilioenteric fistulas.
