Adenomatoid tumour accounts for less than 1-2 % of all intrascrotal neoplasms which usually presents incidentally. It is a non-hormone dependent, uncommon benign mesothelial neoplasm, usually localized in the epididymis. Presenting a case of a 38 years old male requesting for consultation regarding a small lump that he palpated three years ago in his left hemiscrotum during self-examination. U/S examination of the scrotum with Doppler and cytopathology report revealed a benign adenomatoid tumour arising from the left epididymis. Surgical treatment was decided and a left scrotal exploration with excision of the mass was performed with annual follow up. We report here an interesting case of an adenomatoid tumour of the epididymis from our institution, owing to its sheer rarity, even today.

There are very few reported cases of regression of large cervical disc herniation without any intervention—the so-called spontaneous regression, demonstrated using MRI. We report a rare and interesting case of MRI that demonstrated near complete regression of a large herniated cervical intervertebral disc, without any surgical treatment.

We report a rare case of three leiomyomas of the spermatic cord and testis in a 73-year-old man. Indirect, large, painful, non-reducible inguinal hernia was diagnosed at admission. During surgery, the hernia was revealed. Furthermore, two tumors were found, both attached on the spermatic cord, and a third tumor close to the testis. All the tumors were carefully removed and no orchidectomy was performed. Hernia repair was performed and the removed tumors were sent to the Pathology Department. All tumors were benign. At the first follow up, chromosomal analysis was also performed. Chromosomal lymphocyte analysis revealed increased fragility at site 4q31. Two years after surgery, the patient was admitted again with a new similar tumor, and underwent a new surgical treatment. In the case of large non-reducible inguinal hernias, surgeons have to consider tumors in the inguinal area in their differential diagnosis.

Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is most commonly seen in patients with spinal trauma and extramedullary spinal neoplasm. Pure BSS caused by cervical disc herniation is extremely rare. Operative treatment is generally recommended those patients with BSS to improve neurological function. Here, we report a rare case of spontaneous healing of BSS caused by cervical disc herniation. Two years follow-up showed complete disappearance of symptoms without recurrence. To our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported before. Therefore, for appropriate patients, conservative treatment can be considered for a few months before deciding on surgical treatment.

Abstract A rare case of a symptomatic venous anomaly of the parotid gland is described in a 14-year-old female patient who presented with Turkey Wattle sign. A definitive diagnosis of this disorder requires venographic studies. Surgical treatment was successful, with a follow-up of four years.

ABSTRACT Metastases to the pancreas are rare in general and scares in cases of lungs primary lesion. They are discovered incidentally in most cases. Data on their incidence, diagnosis, prognosis and management remain insufficient. The discovery is usually made at an advanced stage of lung cancer with the presence of metastases to other organs. We reported the case of a patient undergoing oncology follow-up for lung adenocarcinoma with discovery of adrenal gland metastases and a solitary pancreatic metastatic mass. His management remains palliative chemotherapy. Surgical treatment is not yet codified in these cases and remains at the discretion of the multidisciplinary oncology teams.

Abstract Here, we report surgical treatment of a patient presenting with pancreatic metastasis (MTS) of renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) 11 years after nephrectomy. RCC is one of few cancers that metastasise in pancreas. Jaundice, abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding can develop; however, asymptomatic MTS can be discovered by follow-up after removal of the primary tumour. The patient, 67-year-old female was radiologically diagnosed with a clinically silent mass in the pancreatic body and underwent distal pancreatic resection. The postoperative period was smooth. Four months after the surgery, there were no signs of disease progression.
