Bladder Malignancy

AbstractA correct preoperative diagnosis of gall-bladder tuberculosis is exceptionally unusual in the absence of pathognomic features both on clinical presentation and on imaging. Herein we present a case of 50 year female who was operated with a provisional diagnosis of gall-bladder malignancy and was found to have tuberculosis of gall-bladder on histopathology.

AbstractCellular angiofibroma (CA)is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. In women, it occurs mainly in the vulvovaginal region, with vulvar location in 70% of the cases. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and similar to several other vulvar tumors of different cellular origins. Thus, its histological and immunohistochemical features allow distinction from other tumors. Cellular angiofibromas have good prognosis, despite some risk of relapse. The authors present the case of a 49-year-old woman with a bulky right vulvar lesion, for which the preoperative diagnosis was a Bartholin cyst, but the histological and immunohistochemical evaluation yielded a CA.

Blunt trauma abdomen leading to gallbladder perforation is a rare event usually recognized on evaluation and treatment of other visceral injuries during laparotomy. The gallbladder is relatively a well-protected organ. Isolated gallbladder perforation is extremely rare. The clinical presentation is variable, early diagnosis and treatment is of extreme importance to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with gallbladder perforation. We report a case of a patient who sustained isolated gallbladder injury following blunt trauma abdomen to emergency department in Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi.

Colon Duplication

Gastrointestinal duplications are extremely rare congenital abnormalities having definite difficulties to be diagnosed preoperatively. Most of them are presented at the oesophagus and ileum and only involve colon from 4% to 18%. We illustrate a case report of an 18-year-old female patient with transverse colon duplication. There were symptom manifestations such as chronic constipation with flatulence accompanied with abdominal pain. We demonstrate this case report due to non-specific clinical presentation and some difficulties to form preoperative diagnosis. The patient underwent surgery. Tubular transverse colon duplication communicated with normal bowel in the proximal part was revealed. We performed transverse colon resection with duplication. The postoperative period was uneventful.

Gall bladder volvulus or twisting is a rare condition and occurs due to rotation of gall bladder. Preoperative diagnosis is exception and usually misdiagnosed as cholecystitis before surgery. It is potentially fatal condition unless diagnosed and treated early leading to gangrene and biliary peritonitis. It has been reported in only about 500 cases in the literature ranging in age given 2-100 years old. We report a rare case of middle aged female 56 years old with volvulus of gall bladder having concomitant cholelithiasis treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract Extradural lymphoma can present as an acute neurosurgical emergency. The clinical presentation and radiological appearance may suggest epidural hematoma or meningioma. Lymphoma should be considered as a rare but possible diagnosis before operation. High resolution computed tomography using direct coronal imaging with and without contrast enhancement may aid in suggesting the correct preoperative diagnosis.

Double Gallbladder

Double gall bladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the Hepatobiliary system with an incidence of 1:4000 due to abnormalities resulting during the embryogenesis during fourth to sixth week of gestation. Boyden was first to describe the duplication of the gallbladder and Harlaftis classification describes three types for the duplication of the gallbladder. Preoperative diagnosis of the duplication of the gallbladder has to be confirmed to minimise the complications during the surgery and post operatively. Sometimes the duplication of the gallbladder is missed preoperatively and hence increasing the risk and complications during the cholecystectomy. MRCP is the investigation of choice for preoperative diagnosis of the duplication and the laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the treatment of choice for the double gallbladder. We encountered a 25 year old girl with duplicate gallbladder who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with removal of both gallbladders successfully.

Isolated liver tuberculosis is still considered a rare condition and its atypical clinical presentation challenges the clinical acumen of the treating physician. There is difficulty in reaching the correct preoperative diagnosis of nodular hepatic tuberculosis that presents as a space-occupying lesion. It is usually unsuspected and confused with primary or metastatic carcinoma of the liver. In this report, we describe a rare case of isolated liver tuberculosis.

Gallbladder tuberculosis (GT) is extremely rare, and it is difficult to differentiate from other gallbladder diseases, such as gallbladder carcinoma and Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis. A correct preoperative diagnosis of GT is difficult. The final diagnosis is usually made postoperatively according to surgical biopsy. Here, we report a case of a patient who underwent surgery with the preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder carcinoma. We reviewed the literature and present the process of differential diagnosis between two or more conditions that share similar signs or symptoms.

Atypical Clinical Presentation

Gall bladder perforation (GBP) is a rare life-threatening complication with a high mortality due to atypical clinical presentation and delay in diagnosis due to atypical clinical presentation. Case report 1, 70-year-old female presented with complaints of pain abdomen, vomiting and blackish pigmentation over abdomen since a week. She was in shock on presentation, with necrotic patch over abdomen and abscess collection at umbilicus. Ultrasound revealed GBP at fundus with thick collection in gastrohepatic recess with overlying abdominal wall cellulitis. CECT was not possible and the patient could not be taken for surgery due to unstable vitals and expired the next day. Case report 2, a 68-year-old male presented with complaints of pain abdomen over right side with vomiting. Abdomen was tender diffusely with guarding in right hypochondrium. Ultrasound showed distended gall bladder (GB) with multiple calculi. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) showed a GBP at fundus with pericholecystic collection extending into hepatogastric recess. He underwent total cholecystectomy and post-operative period was uneventful. Acute cholecystitis has a perforation rate of 2-11% due to cystic duct obstruction, ischemia and necrosis. Our first patient had type-III GBP and was in shock and did not survive due to bad condition on arrival whereas the second patient had type-I GBP and underwent cholecystectomy without any complications. Type-I and type-II GBP as proposed by Niemeier have better outcomes compared to type-III. Rapid diagnosis and surgical intervention are very much necessary for reducing mortality as they rarely present with typical signs and symptoms of perforation.

✓ A case of posttraumatic epidural hygroma is reported. This child presented with occipital injury. Slowly but progressively he developed bilateral Wallenberg's syndrome and retrocollis. Correct preoperative diagnosis was made with the aid of computerized tomography. The case is discussed with emphasis on the mechanism of formation of an epidural hygroma and its clinical presentation.
