BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal lipoma is an extremely rare neoplasm. AIMS: The authors report a case of giant retroperitoneal lipoma in a 32-year-old white female, with a history of pain and an abdominal mass over a 2-year period. Total abdominal ultrasonography and barium enema showed a large mass located in the retroperitoneal space behind the ascending colon. Laparotomy showed a large encapsulated tumor measuring 20 x 13 x 10 cm and weighing 3.400 g. The histological study revealed a benign neoplasm of fatty cells. CONCLUSION: The patient remains well 17 years after surgery, without recurrentce of the disease.

Toxocariasis is an extensive helminthic infection that leads to visceral larva migrans in humans. A 2.5-year-old girl referred for abdominal mass. She had history of pharyngitis for two weeks. There were no other symptoms. Abdominal examination revealed an irregular solid mass in right lower quadrant (RLQ). Abdominal ultrasonography revealed an echohetrogenic large mass in RLQ, liver, and retroperitoneal area. Abdominal CT scan showed a huge mass. At laparotomy a large retroperitoneal mass that involved right liver lobe, bladder, ileocecal valve, small and large intestines was found. At histopathology diagnosis of toxocariasis was made.

The familial nature of "neonatal hepatitis" has been known far some years. The present paper reports on the occurrence of this condition in one of dizygotic twins. Case Report A.B., a white female, was first admitted to the Children's Memorial Hospital at the age of 2 months with a history of persistent jaundice. She was the first born of a twin pregnancy with a birth weight of 5 lb (2.3 kg). Jaundice was first noted within a few hours after birth and increased in intensity as the child grew older. The stools were light and the urine dark. Despite a good appetite, the weight gain had been poor.

Abstract Metastatic liposarcomas to the brain are rare. The authors describe a patient with a 20-year history of liposarcoma originating in the thigh and metastatic to the brain 18 years later. The brain metastasis was removed by surgery. Nine months later, the patient developed metastases to the retroperitoneum and liver. At that same time, she had recurrent brain metastasis. She was then treated with chemotherapy. The abdominal mass shrank considerably in the beginning, and the recurrent brain metastases totally disappeared. The patient eventually succumbed to widespread liposarcoma. Autopsy revealed extensive liposarcoma involving the retroperitoneum, liver, and lung, but no trace of tumor was found in the brain.

Testicular cystadenoma is ranked the second commonest benign neoplasm. Other benign epididymal neoplasms include adenomatoid tumor (most common), leiomyoma, serous (nonpapillary) cystadenoma, cavernous hemangioma, and melanotic neuroectodermal tumor. Adenocarcinoma, mesothelioma, and metastatic renal cell carcinoma are malignant tumors that can affect the epididymis. A 24-year-old male undergraduate with a 3-month history of mildly tender right testicular swelling histologically diagnosed as papillary cystadenoma is presented. This case is presented from our locality as the first of its’ kind; and because it can be a possible manifestation of other diseases like von Hippel- Lindau (VHL) disease.

AbstractHemangioma is a benign neoplasm that may affect the vulva, and it can cause functional or emotional disability. This article reports the case of a 52-year-old female patient with a history of a genital ulcer for the past 3 years and who had undergone various treatments with creams and ointments. The patient was biopsied and diagnosed with vulvar hemangioma and was subsequently submitted to surgical excision of the lesion. We emphasize the importance of following the steps of the differential diagnosis and proceeding with a surgical approach only if necessary.

Splenic Lymphangioma is a rare, benign, cystic lesion arising from malformations of splenic lymphatic channels. They are usually found in paediatric population and rarely in adults. Isolated lesions are asymptomatic and detected incidentally. However larger lesions present with abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite or a palpable mass. Surgical removal of spleen remains the treatment of choice. A 25-year-old, unmarried female presented 2 months history of pain epigastrium. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a well defined hypoechoic area in relation to the lower pole of spleen with normal splenic and portal vein. Computed tomography with contrast enhancement showed mild splenomegaly with multiple hypodense lesions with peripherally enhancing rim and decreased central attenuation with likely possibility of angiosarcoma of spleen.

It is well recognized that a paralyzed limb may be spared from the effects of joint disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA),1 osteoarthritis,2,3 and gout.4 The paralysis may result from upper or lower motor neuron lesions.5-7 The striking freedom from lower extremity joint involvement in a child with polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) represents a further example of this association, the first reported in a child. CASE REPORT An 8½-year-old girl had a 2-year history of pain in the metacarpophalangeal joints, hands, neck, and shoulders. She had noted decreased upper limb strength, inability to extend her elbows fully, and a recent diminution of range of motion in her wrists and shoulders.

Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair

Primary splenic torsion in dogs is uncommon and can occur in acute or chronic form. The chronic form is difficult to diagnose because the clinical signs are vague and sometimes intermittent. A dog with a history of diaphragmatic hernia repair two years previously presented with chronic, vague clinical signs and an abdominal mass. The mass was revealed to be spleen on ultrasonography. On exploratory laparotomy, the dog was found to have a splenic torsion of approximately 180 degrees with mature, fibrous adhesions retaining the spleen in a torsed position. A splenectomy was performed, and the dog recovered uneventfully with complete resolution of prior clinical signs. Prognosis for dogs with splenic torsion is good, although complications are relatively common.

Background: Elephantiasis is a well-known condition in dermatology usually affecting the legs and external genitalia. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and obstruction of the lymphatic channels and by hypertrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The etiology is either idiopathic or caused by a variety of conditions such as chronic filarial disease, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and chronic recurrent cellulites. ObjectiveElephantiasis of the abdominal wall is very rare. A complete review of the English and French literature showed only two cases reported in 1966 and 1973, respectively. We report a third case of abdominal elephantiasis and we briefly review this entity. Methods: We present the case of a 51-year-old woman who had progressively developed an enormous pediculated abdominal mass hanging down her knees. The skin was thickened, hyperpigmented, and fissured. She had a history of multiple abdominal cellulites. ResultsShe underwent an abdominal lipectomy. Histopathology of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of abdominal elephantiasis. Conclusion: Abdominal elephantiasis is a rare disease that represents end-stage failure of lymph drainage. Lipectomy should be considered in the management of this condition.
