Size And Morphology

Considerations on the value of scintillation scanning of the spleen, using Cr51 and BMHP-Hg197 labelled red cells, in neoplastic diseases and particularly in malignant lymphomas are reported. The examination was performed in 45 patients and was found useful for the demonstration of changes in spleen size and morphology and for differential diagnosis with abdominal masses. Splenomegalies were studied also through the index of splenic surface. It was also possible the demonstration of « cold areas », corresponding to intrasplenic alterations, as neoplastic infiltration.

2D Ultrasound

Background. Abdominal masses in female adolescents are uncommon. A rare cause of this condition is hematocolpos due to imperforate hymen.Case. We present a case of an unusually massive asymptomatic abdominal bulk in a 14-year-old female patient, who sought for medical advice after unusual abdominal pain lasting for few weeks. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic, apart from an unusual dramatic expansion of her abdominal wall during the last month. We describe the surgical management and the follow-up of the patient.Summary and Conclusion. Clinicians should keep in mind that an imperforate hymen can cause abdominal growth due to hematocolpos and include it in the differential diagnosis of such a clinical entity in female adolescents. 2D ultrasound is usually efficient for the confirmation of the diagnosis of hematocolpos, but 3D ultrasound is more accurate. Wide excision should be undertaken, as an initial approach, to avoid recurrence.

Abdominal Masses

A 3-months baby comes to our emergency department for an abdominal mass of elastic consistency that suddenly appeared for a week and grown exponentially in the last few days. Blood examinations identify a septic state of the child, and the emergency CT recognizes the abdominal mass’s cystic structure. The surgical removal and the histological analysis will confirm the diagnosis of Infected Common Macrocystic Lymphatic Malformation. This case allows us to remember to pediatricians the main features of Cystic Lymphatic Malformations that should always be considered during the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses of sudden onset in an infant.

Abdominal Masses

Acute abdominal pain and abdominal mass are intimately connected; therefore, the diagnostic process for evaluating abdominal pain and abdominal masses is largely the same and has been preserved since ancient times. The primary goals in the management of patients with abdominal pain and/or abdominal mass are to establish a differential diagnosis by obtaining a clinical history, to refine the differential diagnosis with a physical examination and appropriate studies, and to determine the role of operative intervention in the treatment or refinement of the working diagnosis. This review describes the process of diagnosing abdominal pain, including taking a clinical history and performing a physical examination. Investigative studies, including laboratory tests, imaging, and pathology are reviewed. Management, including surgical treatment, is discussed. Tables describe intraperitoneal and extraperitoneal causes of acute abdominal pain, frequency of specific diagnoses in patients with acute abdominal pain, and common abdominal signs and findings noted on physical examination. Figures show abdominal pain in specific locations, a data sheet, the differential diagnosis of an abdominal mass by quadrant or region, characteristic patterns of abdominal pain, acute appendicitis with associated appendicolith, bilateral adrenal masses, adrenocortical carcinoma, retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma, pancreatic mass, a sagittal ultrasonogram of the pancreas, ultrasonograms of the liver, a dark and well circumscribed abdominal mass, gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, and percutaneous biopsy of a large abdominal mass. An algorithm outlines the assessment of acute abdominal pain and abdominal mass. This review contains 14 figures, 5 tables, and 143 references.
