Primary retroperitoneal melanoma is a very rare extracutaneous presentation of melanoma. In this case report, we present a 65-year-old female with unilateral lower extremity edema secondary to occlusion of iliac vessels by a primary retroperitoneal melanoma tumor. We also review the findings in other cases previously described in the literature.

Echinococcal cysts are unusual in Canada, and most cases seen are in immigrants. In northern Canadian communities,Echinococcus granulosisinfection occasionally is acquired from dogs that feed on the entrails of caribou or moose. Seventeen patients with Canadian-acquired hydatid cysts were seen over an 11-year period. One challenging case is described in detail. An 18-year-old aboriginal woman presented with jaundice, pain, lower extremity edema and coagulopathy from a 26 cm echinococcal hepatic cyst. She was successfully treated with a combination of oral albendazole, percutaneous drainage and surgery. One-year follow-up showed no recurrence of disease. The management options for echinococcal cysts are extensively reviewed.

Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma (PMPM) is a rare cardiac tumor. The patient usually presents with pericardial constriction, usually misdiagnosed and wrongly managed. We present the case of a 21-year-old woman with a history of pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. The patient was referred from a clinic due to nausea, vomiting and ascites with lower extremity edema, soft and watery diarrhea, and right upper quadrant pain. Surgery (sternotomy and partial pericardiectomy) was proposed after looking at the different relevant investigations; it was not until that the patient was operated on that it was established that this wasn't a mere constriction but a malignancy. The patient shortly died after the operation. Pathology made a diagnosis of PMPM. Along with the classical symptoms those who present with level 1 thoracic adenopathy a decision to operate should be very carefully made, this may lead to a misdiagnosis of PMPM which postoperatively results in patient's death.
