Intestinal Invagination

Gastrointestinal tract duplication is a rare congenital malformation in young patients and in adults, that occur anywhere from the mouth to the anus and their macroscopic structure may be cystic or tubular. Intestinal duplication does not show specific symptoms, indeed they can present with a variety of symptoms including abdominal distension and pain, sickness, hemorrhage, chronic respiratory disorders, as well as non-painful abdominal mass. Nonetheless, intestinal duplication can remain completely asymptomatic and be diagnosed as an incidental finding. Presentation with acute complications such as intestinal invagination or mechanical occlusion is quite rare. We present a case of asymptomatic ileum duplication cyst in young female who referred to the emergency department for trauma and was screened by eco-Focus Assessment Sonography for Trauma (eco-FAST), followed by MR and CT. The patient underwent ileal resection and prophylactic appendicectomy with ileo-cecal termino-lateral anastomosis. In this case, the intestinal duplication cyst was an asymptomatic incidental finding.

Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women in Peninsular Malaysia. Epithelial ovarian cancer accounts for 90% of all ovarian tumours. Herein, we present a rapidly growing ovarian tumour in a young female patient, following an uneventful vaginal delivery at home. We discuss on the challenges of making said diagnosis in a post-partum patient who presented with abdomen distension. A 19-yearold lady presented to the Emergency Department three days after spontaneous vaginal delivery at home. Her chief complaint was that of a rapidly progressive abdominal distension. Diagnostic and therapeutic emergency laparotomy were done, revealing a huge cystic ovarian mass. Histopathology reported a high grade, serous ovarian carcinoma. There are multiple causes for abdominal distension in post-partum women, however priority should be given into looking for gynaecological origin, given the changes in hormone. Sudden abdominal distension during post-partum period is rare and a systemic approach in its management is vital. There is, inarguably, a role of diagnostic and therapeutic laparotomy in this.

AbstractLhermitte–Duclos disease, also known as dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma, is a rare hamartomatous tumor localized in cerebellum. An association with Cowden syndrome is observed in 50% of cases who present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar ataxia. These patients have specific magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological findings. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Here, we report a case of a young female with traumatic frontal hemorrhage associated with Lhermitte–Duclos disease.

We report on 2 patients in whom a cystic dilation of the conus medullaris was incidentally found at MR imaging carried out in the work-up for sciatica. The cysts were well circumscribed and had signal intensity identical to the CSF on both T1- and T2-weighted images. There was no evidence of contrast enhancement. None of the patients had specific symptoms related to the spinal cord. At surgery, no evidence of malignancy was seen in any of the patients. A benign cystic dilation, also called dilated ventriculus terminalis, occasionally can be seen in the conus medullaris as an incidental finding at thoracolumbar MR imaging. Unless the expansion per se indicates cyst drainage, these patients may be monitored by clinical and MR follow-up, avoiding surgery in a substantial number of cases.

Adrenal hemangioma is an extremely rare benign and non-functioning neoplasm of the adrenal gland. We report a case of a 71-year-old woman admitted for intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal distension associated with vomiting and chronic constipation for 5 years. Physical examination revealed a large abdominal mass. Both computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging suggested hemangioma in the right lobe of the liver. Laboratory examinations and tumour markers were within normal limits, except for hypochromic microcytic anemia. The mass was removed intact by conventional surgery and histopathology revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland with no signs of malignancy. Surgical resection was curative, with no recurrence at the 2-year follow-up.

History Of

Cases of neonatal gastrointestinal system (GIS) obstruction are quite complex for pediatric surgery clinics. A rare cause of intestinal obstruction is the duplication cyst (DC). A three-day-old male patient presented at our clinic with a history of abdominal distension and bilious vomiting on the second day following birth. Although pathology had not yet been determined from observation and examination, surgery was performed when the patient could not tolerate oral feeding. An ileal DC forming an incomplete obstruction was observed. Ileoileal anastomosis was performed on the patient. Because DCs can present with different clinical symptoms, it is quite difficult to diagnose them in neonate patients. Lacking an imaging method that can provide an exact diagnosis, the diagnostic laparotomy is a suitable approach for both diagnosis and treatment to avoid delays in treatment.

Chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage and fertility preservation in young patients with cancer are emerging disciplines. The mechanism of treatment-related gonadal damage provides important information for targeting prevention methods. The genomic aspects of ovarian damage after chemotherapy are not fully understood. Several studies have demonstrated that gene alterations related to follicular apoptosis or accelerated follicle activation are related to ovarian insufficiency and susceptibility to ovarian damage following chemotherapy. This may accelerate follicular apoptosis and follicle reservoir utilization and damage the ovarian stroma via multiple molecular reactions after chemotherapy. This review highlights the importance of genomic considerations in chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage and multidisciplinary oncofertility strategies for providing high-quality care to young female cancer patients.

Uncommon Tumor

Adrenocortical carticnoma (ACC) is an uncommon tumor with an incidence of 1-2 cases/million/year. It has two peak incidences; the first one in the first decade and the second one in the fourth decade. Most patients present with features of steroid hormone excess or abdominal mass effects, but about 15% of ACC are diagnosed incidentally. It is hormonally functional in 80 - 100% patients and the predisposing lesions include congenital adrenal hyperplasia and adenoma. ACC has significant syndromic and genetic association. Surgery offers the best chance of cure, especially in localized disease. Here, we present the case of virilization in a young female child secondary to a functioning ACC. The child had classical hormonal and imaging features of functioning ACC and underwent resection of the tumor (Adrenalectomy) with good outcome.
