Infant Case

The occurrence of a mesenteric cyst (MC) is common in adults while in children and in infants is rare. In adults mesenteric cysts are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally; however, in children they commonly present with symptoms of abdominal pain or distension with fever and leucocytosis. We report on a rare case, in our experience, of Mesenteric Chylous cyst (MCC) in an infant with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Discussion of literature is also reported.

Einleitung: Bei der Differentialdiagnose von intraabdominalen Tumoren ist an die mesenterialen Zysten zu denken. Wir möchten mittels Fallbeispiel an diesen seltenen Befund erinnern. Fallbeispiel: Es handelt sich um eine 35-jährige Patientin mit zweiwöchiger Anamnese von progredienten Abdominalschmerzen. Die Abklärung mittels Sonographie und Computertomographie ergab einen 14 x 12 x 3cm grossen zystischen abdominalen Tumor ohne Beziehung zu Uterus, Adnexen oder Oberbauchorganen, worauf die Patientin laparotomiert und die Zyste reseziert wurde. Diskussion: Mesenteriale Zysten sind selten. Die Pathogenese ist unterschiedlich und die klinische wie auch die radiologische Diagnostik schwierig. Die Symptomatik reicht vom akuten Abdomen über unspezifische Abdominalbeschwerden bis hin zum asymptomatischen Zufallsbefund. Mesenteriale Zysten können entlang des gesamten Gastrointestinaltraktes vom Duodenum bis zum Rektum auftreten. Therapie der Wahl ist die Zystenresektion. Schlussfolgerungen: Mesenteriale Zysten sind seltene intraabdominale Befunde. Die definitive Diagnosesicherung und die Therapie besteht in der Resektion.

Introduction. Mesenteric pseudocysts have rarely been described in literature. They belong to a group of mesenteric cysts that are very rare intra-abdominal pathology regardless of the origin. The diagnosis is often difficult to make, because of the diversity of clinical symptoms. The definitive histopathological diagnosis determines the origin and further course of treatment. Case report. We reported a patient with post-traumatic mesenteric pseudocyst. It was localised on the mesenteric side, in the direct contact with the small intestine. We surgically re-moved the pseudocyst along with a part of the small intestine with success. The patient?s recovery was eventless, with no complications. Conclusion. Only by complete cyst removal, the definitive, accurate histopathological diagnosis and classification can be made.

Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. It is widely distributed throughout the world. In present study, the case of a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed as pulmonary histoplasmosis. Initially, the patient was suspected as a case of alcoholic hepatitis but subsequently the diagnosis of pulmonary histoplasmosis was confirmed by lung biopsy. The symptoms were dissuaded following amphotericin B and itraconazole treatment.

CONTEXT: Histoplasmosis is a fungal disease caused by inhaling spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. The spores can be found in soil contaminated with bird, bat or chicken feces. Histoplasmosis occurs worldwide and is one of the most common pulmonary and systemic mycoses. CASE REPORT: We report here the case of a 37-year-old man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome and histoplasmosis in the nasal septum, without pulmonary involvement, that evolved rapidly to disseminated infection, multiple organ failure and death.

We report a rare case of chronic disseminated histoplasmosis with several ulcerated lesions in the oral cavity in an alcoholic patient without human immunodeficiency virus infection, with no detectable signs and symptoms of systemic disease or extraoral manifestations. Histopathological analysis revealed chronic inflammatory process with granulomas containing Histoplasma-like organisms. The isolation of Histoplasma capsulatum provided the definitive diagnosis. Treatment with itraconazole resulted in complete remission of oral lesions. As far we aware, this is the second case report of oral histoplasmosis in an HIV negative patient described in Brazil.
