Uterine lipoleiomyosarcoma is a heterologous sarcoma composed of variable proportions of malignant lipoblasts histologically corresponding to well differentiated liposarcoma and malignant smooth muscle cells corresponding to leiomyosarcoma. Finding of benign lipomatous component in a typical leiomyoma (lipoleiomyoma) is not an uncommon, however, lipoleiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor and only very few cases have been reported so far. We report a case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterine corpus in a postmenopausal woman presenting with lower abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Diagnosis of lipoleiomyosarcoma was confirmed by histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimen. This is the first case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterus reported from Nepal. Keywords: Lipoleiomyosarcoma, uterus, histopathology, unusual case.   doi:10.3126/njog.v2i1.1482    N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 67 - 70 May -June 2007

Abdominal pains are one of the major topics of emergency clinics.  Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is one of the rarely encountered causes of abdominal pain and is known as an idiopathic disease with a good prognosis. MP may cause abdominal pain, abdominal mass and intestinal obstruction. Infections, autoimmune diseases and abdominal traumas may trigger MP. The disease may coexist with malignancy and has a high probability of developing malignancy in MP patients. In this case report, a 59-year-old female patient, who came to our Internal Medicine Outpatient Clinic with abdominal pain and who was diagnosed with MP, is presented.

Choledochal cyst, or congenital cystic dilatation of the common bile duct, is a rare anomaly usually presenting in the first decade with pain, jaundice, and an abdominal mass. The following is a report of a child with recurrent abdominal pain who showed clinical and biochemical evidence of recurrent pancreatitis. Investigation revealed a congenital choledochal cyst. The abdominal pain and biochemical abnormalities abated after choledochocystojejunostomy. Case Report J.J., a 4-year-old white girl, was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia because of recurrent abdominal pain. This pain, located in the epigastrium, first started at the age of 1.5 years and was associated with fever, nausea, and vomiting.

A 10-year-old Schnauzer presented with a 1-month history of vomiting, anorexia, and abdominal pain, and a recently detected intra-abdominal mass. The round, soft-tissue opacity masses identified on the radiography in the left mid-abdomen were confirmed as multifocal, cystic masses via ultrasonography. The necrotic masses mimicked an intra-abdominal neoplasia on the initial imaging examinations. The computed tomography (CT) clearly showed encapsulated masses with a necrotic fluid arising from the left limb of the pancreas and extending to the peripancreatic, paracolic, and perigastric regions. Based on the multimodal imaging, surgical exploration, and histopathology, the mass was diagnosed as a walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). CT is an effective diagnostic modality for diagnosing acute pancreatitis in WOPN.

Introduction: Cysts of the spleen are most frequently primary or secondary. If it contained an epithelial lining it is referred to as epithelial or epidermoid cysts  Other common cause is post-traumatic pseudocysts. Non parasitic cause of infective splenic cyst are rare especially those caused by bacterial infection. They may present as symptoms related to their size with gastric compression or pain, an abdominal mass, rupture, or infection with abscess. Case report: We present a case of massive splenic cyst in a 13 year old boy presenting with acute abdominal pain, this was successfully treated with deroofing of the cyst wall while preserving the function of the spleen. Cultures subsequently grew  Aeromonas Salmonicida.  The patient was discharged home well. Issues of diagnosis and dilemma in treatment while preserving the spleen in an adolescent will be discussed.

Choledocal cysts are cystic dilations that can occur in a single or multiple form in the biliary tree. Cysts can be congenital or acquired and are associated with numerous anatomical abnormalities. The presence of pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, jaundice and palpable abdominal mass form the classic triad that is present in 15% to 45% of patients. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman patient, who she was admitted with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea and vomiting, which evolved into  jaundice. When seeking medical care, a large liver cyst and cholelithiasis. Imaging exams revealed liver cyst in segments IV-B,V and VI, lithiasis and biliary polyp.

Introduction: Mesenteric Cystic Lymphangioma (MCL) is a benign malformation of the lymphatic system. MCL seldomly occurs with a very rare incidence of around 1: 250,000. This neoplasm is more common in pediatric patients. Symptoms can appear with various clinical features ranging from asymptomatic abdominal mass to acute abdomen. Case description: Here we report a patient with MCL: that presented with bilious vomiting, abdominal pain, and abdominal mass. The patient underwent explorative laparotomy, mass excision, and  jejunal resection. Discussion: Although benign, MCL can cause other symptoms such as bleeding, torsion, or lymphangioma rupture. Therefore, MCL should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in acute abdominal and abdominal mass cases in children. Conclusion: In conclusion, although sometimes asymptomatic and found incidentally, the MCL should be resected because it has the potential to grow and invade vital organs and cause life-threatening complications.

Gastroduodenal trichobezoar is infrequent. Its diagnosis is easy in the presence of an evocative context. Patients with this condition often have an underlying psychiatric illness and history may not be easily forthcoming. We report a classic case of a 17 year-old patient admitted with acute abdominal pain, vomiting, an upper abdominal mass and anemia. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan suggested the diagnosis of bezoar. Surgical removal of trichobezoar by gastrotomy was performed without complications. Preoperative blood transfusion was admitted, the patient was referred to the department of psychiatry.

Einleitung: Bei der Differentialdiagnose von intraabdominalen Tumoren ist an die mesenterialen Zysten zu denken. Wir möchten mittels Fallbeispiel an diesen seltenen Befund erinnern. Fallbeispiel: Es handelt sich um eine 35-jährige Patientin mit zweiwöchiger Anamnese von progredienten Abdominalschmerzen. Die Abklärung mittels Sonographie und Computertomographie ergab einen 14 x 12 x 3cm grossen zystischen abdominalen Tumor ohne Beziehung zu Uterus, Adnexen oder Oberbauchorganen, worauf die Patientin laparotomiert und die Zyste reseziert wurde. Diskussion: Mesenteriale Zysten sind selten. Die Pathogenese ist unterschiedlich und die klinische wie auch die radiologische Diagnostik schwierig. Die Symptomatik reicht vom akuten Abdomen über unspezifische Abdominalbeschwerden bis hin zum asymptomatischen Zufallsbefund. Mesenteriale Zysten können entlang des gesamten Gastrointestinaltraktes vom Duodenum bis zum Rektum auftreten. Therapie der Wahl ist die Zystenresektion. Schlussfolgerungen: Mesenteriale Zysten sind seltene intraabdominale Befunde. Die definitive Diagnosesicherung und die Therapie besteht in der Resektion.
