Bladder leiomyoma is a rare, benign tumour of the bladder. We present a clinical case of a 47-year-old asymptomatic woman with symptomatic bladder leiomyoma. Computed tomography showed well-defined bladder leiomyoma in the right posterior bladder wall. After partial cystectomy, pathology findings confirmed leiomyoma of bladder, and the patient achieved clinical recovery in 8 months. We discuss the relevant recent literature of bladder leiomyoma.

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a rare progressive genetically heterogenous disorder with pediatric onset. DRD is 3 times as prevalent in women than in men. This article reports a clinical case of DRD in a young female presenting with paraparesis, foot dystonia (more pronounced in the right foot) and pronounced walking impairment, who was admitted for emergency treatment to a Neurology Unit. Based on the additional tests, which included a levodopa trial and Sanger sequencing, the patient was diagnosed with DRD. Levodopa caused a considerable improvement of the symptoms. The article describes the clinical features of the disease, talks about its differential diagnosis, genetic predisposition and treatment strategy.

Introduction. Cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a parasitic disease, zoonosis, and is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. It mainly occurs in endemic areas. The most common localization is the liver. Case outline. In this paper, we will present our experience with a 67-year-old female patient diagnosed with an echinococcal cyst in the right lobe of the liver, as confirmed by computed tomography examination of the abdomen. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial pericystectomy with omentoplasty. The operation went without complications, as well as the postoperative period. Conclusion. Laparoscopic partial pericystectomy is a safe and effective treatment of available hepatic hydatid cysts. Considering all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic partial pericystectomy of hepatic hydatid cysts may be the treatment of choice, over the classical open surgery approach.

Spontaneous pneumothorax is rarely reported in the cat. This case report describes the use of computed tomography (CT) to diagnose pulmonary bullae in an adult cat with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. A large bulla in the right middle lung lobe and several blebs in other lobes were identified by CT. Partial lobectomy of the right middle and right and left cranial lung lobes was successfully performed to remove the affected portions of lung. Histopathological examination suggested bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as the underlying cause for development of the pulmonary bulla. This is the first case report in the veterinary literature describing the use of CT to identify pulmonary bullae in the cat with BPD as a possible underlying cause.

Adrenal sarcomatoid carcinomas are extremely rare tumors presenting with extensive locoregional spread at the time of diagnosis. Patients succumb to metastases within a couple of months. As a result, very few cases are reported in the literature until now. We present a case of a 62-year old female with non-functional sarcomatoid carcinoma of the right adrenal gland. There was no radiological evidence of locoregional metastases. Patient underwent right adrenalectomy. Follow up after 3 months showed para-aortic lymphadenopathy and similar left adrenal mass on computed tomography. Patient refused further treatment and succumbed to the disease. A brief case report with review of literature is presented.

AbstractA three-year old bot wiht a swelling on the right side of his neck was suspected of having parapharyngeal abscess after clinical examination and CT scan(computed tomography scan) of this region. Later it became clear, that the swelling was caused by an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. This case report describes the pitfalls and difficulties encountered in the diagnostic course and treatment planning.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative lymphatic complications are not common, and lymphatic leakage complication post appendectomy (LLCPC) is even rarer. However, the number of this operation is high so LLCPC can occur. CASE REPORT: Here, we report a female patient post appendectomy with severe chylous ascites. This patient underwent six operations. A leakage point at the right iliac-fossa, which was embolized successfully after two sessions, was spotted during intranodal lymphangiography. After 6 months, the ascites were significantly reduced while some lymphatic aneurysms still existed in the lumbar-retroperitoneal region. CONCLUSIONS: Basing the knowledge of this clinical case and literature, we have concluded that lymphatic leakage can be diagnosed and embolized by percutaneous intervention.

The article presents a clinical case of simultaneous multiple primary tumors (the left adrenal neuroblastoma and the right lower parathyroid adenoma) in the child 11 years old.The literature describes several cases of primarily multiple tumors, one of which was neurogenic, requiring an individual approach to treatment. The relationship between the occurrence of polyneoplasia and genetic mutations is discussed.

Diagnosis of a Bochdalek hernia in an adult is rare and even more so in the right diaphragm. We review a case of a 55-year-old woman with a right-sided giant Bochdalek hernia who was experiencing progressive shortness of breath and performance decline. The diagnosis of Bochdalek hernia was made by computed tomography and the right side of liver, right kidney, omentum and flexura hepatica of the colon were herniated to the right hemithorax. The operation was carried out via right thoraco-laparotomy and she made an uneventful recovery. We conclude that maximal exposure was necessary for safe operation and good outcome.

<p>Non-union of the medial condyle of the humerus is a rare development of neglected fractures of the distal humerus. We report a case found in a 19 years old boy who consulted for relative functional impotence of the right elbow, with a functional score rated at 76 points out of 100 according to Broberg and Morrey. The elbow radiograph showed a pseudarthrosis of the medial condyle of the humerus and the computed tomography found in addition a partial filling of the olecranon and coronoid dimples. Also, a therapeutic abstention was retained this pseudarthrosis in view of its providential character.</p>

Abstract BackgroundAnatomic variation may increase the difficulty and risk for anatomic segmentectomy. The preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography(3D-CTBA) can provide a detailed model of the segmental structure, and contribute to precise and safe segmentectomy.Case presentationWe report a case with anomalous bronchi and pulmonary vessels in the right upper posterior segment (RS2), under the guidance of 3D-CTBA, anatomic RS2segmentoctomywas performed accurately and safely, the postoperative condition was uneventful.ConclusionsThis rare case highlights the importance of 3D-CTBA to guild accurate segmentectomy with anatomic variation.
