Pseudocysts of the spleen are rare, generally asymptomatic lesions developing secondary to trauma, infection or infarction. When symptomatic, they typically present as non-specific pain in the left hypochondrium, with or without a palpable lump on clinical examination. However, these conventions fail when they occur in a wandering spleen, making imaging critically important. This report describes an unusual case of a 50-year-old who presented with a large cystic mass in a pelvic spleen; imaging facilitated a successful splenectomy and subsequent histopathology revealed a pseudocyst in a wandering spleen.

Unusual Case Report

Dentists often find foreign bodies in the primary dentition of children who habitually place objects in their mouths. The objects are frequently embedded in exposures that result from carious or traumatic lesions or from endodontic procedures that have been left open for drainage. Such bodies are often detected on routine radiographs and, less frequently, during clinical examination. We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who had inadvertently embedded a screw in his mandibular right first primary molar and had forgotten about it until it became symptomatic. The screw was impacted in the exposed pulp chamber due to a large carious lesion in the affected molar. This case report considers the possible medical and dental consequences of placing foreign bodies in the mouth.

At least 27 million men present with urogenital manifestations of genital filariasis (GF). Although there is a large burden of GF in residents in endemic regions, infection in short-term travellers and in non-endemic areas is rare. We report the case of a 75-year-old Italian man referred to our institution for a testicular discomfort. Clinical examination and ultrasound detected a mass of 40×18 mm in the scrotum without signs of varicocele, hydrocele and testicular or epididymal abnormalities. After ineffective medical treatment, the patient underwent surgical excision. Histology demonstrated filarial granuloma with thick cuticles pathognomonic of an adult worm in the testicular tunics. Surgery has a fundamental role in localized cases of GF to remove nematodes from the fibrotic nodules. The present manuscript describes a singular case of GF observed in Italy in a non-immigrant patient with evidence of remnants of an adult worm in the testicular tunics. SIMILAR CASES PUBLISHED: 11

An unusual case of primary leiomyosarcoma presenting as a cystic mass is reported. An 86-year-old man underwent resection of a large cystic mass measuring 15 cm in diameter, arising from the left lower lobe of the lung. Histology of the resected specimen showed primary pulmonary leiomyosarcoma. The patient made a good recovery.

Surgical History

A gossypiboma is a mass within a patient’s body comprising a cotton matrix surrounded by a foreign body granuloma. We describe an unusual presentation of a gossypiboma presenting in a 32-year-old man with acute epigastric pain and haematemesis. His surgical history revealed an emergency laparotomy following a road traffic accident 16 years ago. Initial gastroscopy showed extrinsic stomach compression. An abdominal ultrasound scan followed by a CT scan evidenced a large, well-defined, predominantly cystic mass with some solid areas occupying the left hypochondrium. Conservative management with insertion of a percutaneous drain proved to be inefficient. A laparotomy was performed; intraoperatively, the cyst was found to be ruptured and within it, a large surgical gauze was found. This was removed but required a distal pancreatectomy and gastrectomy for complete excision. He was discharged on day 74 of admission with outpatient follow-up.

Careful History

Foreign body aspiration most commonly affects young children, with respiratory symptoms such as wheeze and cough after a choking episode. A careful history and clinical examination can identify those children that need additional investigation including bronchoscopy. However foreign body aspiration can mimic other conditions. The link between choking and subsequent symptoms may not be made by parents. We present a case with a delay in diagnosis, and discuss the appropriate management of suspected foreign body aspiration.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 6, No. 2: July 2015, P 47-49
