We report a unique case of hydatid cyst in iliopsoas muscle in a 65-year-old postmenopausal female. She presented with lump abdomen. On performing exploratory laparotomy, we discovered iliopsoas hydatidosis. This case reports the diagnostic dilemmas that a hydatid cyst can pose and the implications it has on management.

Management of a ruptured hepatocellular adenoma during pregnancy is a rare and potentially life-threatening entity. Few case reports have described management of the pregnant patient who presents in haemorrhagic shock secondary to a ruptured liver adenoma. A 30-year-old primigravid woman at 31 weeks pregnant presented with abdominal pain and fetal bradycardia. After stat caesarean delivery of the infant, she had continued hemoperitoneum and was in shock secondary to an undiagnosed ruptured liver mass. General surgery was consulted intraoperatively and performed an exploratory laparotomy, packing and temporary closure. She was subsequently taken to interventional radiology (IR) for angioembolisation of the left hepatic artery. After stabilisation, she underwent formal abdominal closure. Management of a ruptured hepatocellular adenoma in pregnancy requires urgent multidisciplinary care including obstetrics gynaecology, general surgery and IR.

Hepatic Hydatid

Hydatid cyst rupture into abdomen is a serious complication in cystic hydatid disease of liver. Both microscopic or macroscopic rupture can occur and it is fatal without surgery. It is primarily caused by tapeworm (ECHINOCOCCUS GRANULOSUS) and occurs worldwide with an incidence of 200/100,000in endemic areas. This is a case of 28 yr. female presenting with sudden onset pain abdomen since 4 days. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrates ruptured hepatic hydatid cyst with free peritoneal fluid. She was managed in emergency operation theatre due to her clinical condition and exploratory laparotomy with omentopexy and toileting were done after fluid resuscitation, antihistaminic and corticosteroid treatment. Postoperatively she received antihelminthic treatment with Albendazol. She made a good recovery following surgery.

We present a unique case of metachronous adrenal and hepatic myelolipomas in a 62-year-old man. Myelolipomas are most commonly found in the adrenal gland, with extra-adrenal sites such as the lung, retroperitoneum and liver reported. They are a form of benign mesenchymal tumour, with only 25 case reports of a hepatic location published to date. The are no guidelines to its management. Our patient underwent resection due to pain, and after a complicated postoperative period is pain free.

Broad Ligament Defect

Internal hernias are a rare cause of bowel obstruction (1%) and can be caused by broad ligament defects in 4% to 7% of the cases. These defects may be congenital or acquired and are classified according to its anatomical location. This paper reports three cases of small bowel obstruction by broad ligament hernia. The patients, three women aged from 35 to 51 years old, were admitted to the emergency department with small bowel obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy was performed during which an internal hernia through a broad ligament defect was identified. In all cases the hernia content was reduced and the defect closed. One of the patients required a segmental enterectomy. All patients had a favorable outcome. This paper aims to raise awareness about the broad ligament hernia as a cause of bowel obstruction, namely in middle-aged women with no surgical history.

Objective: Immunotherapy is a novel treatment that can cause autoimmune diabetes in rare cases. More cases occur following use of the inhibitor to the protein programmed cell death-1 rather than the inhibitor to programmed cell death-ligand 1. Methods: We report a unique case of autoimmune diabetes following atezolizumab use. Results: A 55-year-old, Aboriginal Australian female with no prior history of diabetes was commenced on atezolizumab for recurrent squamous cell lung carcinoma. Two months following its commencement, there was the onset of fatigue, polyuria, polydipsia, and new hyperglycemia. Subsequently she was found to have a borderline-low C peptide level of 0.6 nmol/L (reference range is 0.5 to 1.0 nmol/L), and positive zinc transporter-8 antibodies. Following the diagnosis of autoimmune diabetes, 5 units of glargine insulin was commenced which maintained euglycemia and resolved her symptoms of hyperglycemia. Conclusion: There are few case reports of atezolizumab-induced autoimmune diabetes. We present the first case associated with zinc transporter-8 antibodies, and a unique case of autoimmune diabetes in a patient of Aboriginal Australian background.

Rare Tumors

Paragangliomas of the organ of Zuckerkandl are rare tumors with only several case reports noted in the literature. Synchronous paraganglioma occur sporadically, and on occasion, in association with several genetic syndromes. Paraganglioma of the organ of Zuckerkandl with synchronous carotid body paraganglioma is described herein. Traditionally, surgical resection of abdominal paraganglioma involved an exploratory laparotomy. In this manuscript, we describe one of the first reported laparoscopic resections of this tumor and review the literature on multiple paragangliomas and their associated genetic syndromes.

Microglandular Adenosis

Microglandular adenosis (MGA) of the breast is exceedingly rare, with only a few case reports and series published to date. Previous studies have elegantly demonstrated the progression of benign MGA to atypical MGA to MGA-in situ carcinoma to invasive carcinoma and therefore suggest MGA as a possible non-obligate precursor lesion to a subset of breast carcinomas. Immunohistochemically, MGA is negative for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2-neu oncoprotein expression, and carcinomas arising in the setting of MGA are often reported to be triple negative. In this article, we present a unique case of an ER+/PR+/HER2− invasive carcinoma associated with MGA and atypical MGA. Our case highlights the diagnostic pitfall of MGA and suggests that MGA is a heterogeneous group of lesions with potential for either luminal-type or basal-type differentiation during progression to breast carcinoma.

 Primary pelvic hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic parasitic disease most frequently caused by Echinococcus granulosus or Echinococcus multilocularis. Primary pelvic hydatid cyst is a rare entity. A 39-year-old, para 3 living 3 presented to casualty with acute pain abdomen and a suprapubic mass. Patient gave history of acute lower abdominal pain since 4 days associated with vomiting. On examination, a palpable mass around 18 weeks size, firm to hard in consistency with ill-defined margins and restricted mobility and suprapubic tenderness. Lower limit could not be reached, extending from right iliac fossa to midline. Per vaginum findings suggestive of mass deviated to right side with fullness in right fornix. No cervical motion tenderness. The pre-operative tumor marker levels were as follows: CA125=12.44 U/mL (normal=0-35), CEA=0.09 ng/mL (normal=0-2.5). CA19.9=16.79 U/mL (normal=1.2-30). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was found to be 82 mm in the first hour. Transabdominal ultrasound suggestive of adnexal mass? ovarian with moderate ascites. Urinary bladder seen separately. Contrast enhanced computed topography (CECT) suggestive of complicated right para-ovarian /ovarian cystic mass like cystadenoma. Exploratory laparotomy was done and specimen (uterus, cervix, omental biopsy and peritoneal washings) was sent for Histopathological report. Histopathological examination of the haematoxylin and eosin-stained section revealed ruptured brood capsule releasing daughter cyst. Post-operative period was uneventful. Patient received full course of anti-helminthic treatment.
