Fetus in fetu is a rare condition associated with abnormal embryogenesis in a diamniotic, monochorionic pregnancy, wherein one of the fetus is enclosed within the body of another normally developing fetus. It should be differentiated from a teratoma because of the later’s malignant potential. Here we report a case of 2 months old girl child who presented with complaints of abdominal distension. USG showed a solid cystic retroperitoneal mass resembling an anencephalic fetus. Contrast enhanced Computed tomography (CT) showed similar findings with visualization of bones resembling femur, sacrum and vertebrae. Findings were correlated with MRI and post-op pathology. The preoperative diagnosis of FIF is based on the observation of vertebral column or limbs in a mass on imaging modalities and our case meets the required criteria.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor with malignant potential, and it has been described in many major organs. However, bladder location is very uncommon. We report the case of a 23-year-old women presented with painless gross hematuria last for 2 weeks. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a bladder tumor. The patient underwent a open partial cystectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of bladder. Typical IMTs can be locally aggressive, thus close follow-up is necessary.

Renal pelvis carcinoma associated with staghorn calculus is a clinically rare condition. A 66-year-old man presented with flank pain due to an 8 cm complete staghorn calculus. We performed three lithotomies using endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery and carried out intraoperative biopsy. Histopathological examinations revealed a keratinized lesion. One month later, contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed an advanced renal pelvis carcinoma. These findings demonstrate that even an intraoperative biopsy may be insufficient to diagnose a renal pelvis carcinoma associated with a staghorn calculus. The possibility of RPCa developing when treating a long-standing staghorn calculus should therefore be kept in mind.

Fetus in Fetu (FIF) is a rare condition where a monozygotic diamnionic parasitic twin is incorporated into the body of its fellow twin and grows inside it. FIF is differentiated from teratoma by the presence of vertebral column. An eight year old girl presented with an abdominal swelling which by X-ray, ultrasonography and CT scan revealed a fetiform mass containing long bones and vertebral bodies surrounded by soft tissue situated on right lumber region. On laparotomy, a retroperitoneal mass resembling a fetus of 585 gm was removed. It had a trunk and four limbs with fingers and toes, umbilical stump, intestinal loops and abundant scalp hairs but was devoid of brain and heart. Histology showed various well-differentiated tissues in respective sites. FIF is a mystery in reproduction and it is scarce in literature in such well-developed stage.

We report a case of 33 years old male, presented with colicky pain in left upper abdomen on and off since 15 days, one episode of bilious vomiting and abdominal distension with constipation since 2 days. A case of intestinal obstruction was diagnosed as a Left Paraduodenal Hernia[PDH] on contrast enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen(CECT) and managed with laparoscopic repair. Through this case report, we want to give the message that PDH though rare should be considered as a differential diagnosis in a case of intestinal obstruction and can be managed successfully with laparoscopic approach even in an emergency situation.

Brachiocephalic vein aneurysm is an extremely rare condition of unknown origin. It may be asymptomatic, presenting as an incidental finding or as a result of complications it causes. We report a case of a 54-year-old man who was asymptomatic and diagnosed with an isolated saccular aneurysm of the left brachiocephalic vein using contrast-enhanced computed tomography. The patient underwent aneurysmectomy through a median sternotomy with no requirement for a vascular graft or cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and remained well two months after the surgery.

Ganglioneuroblastoma is a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system in paediatric age group that is intermediate in behavior between ganglioneuroma and neuroblastoma. We present a case of a 3 year old girl who presented with a large long standing abdominal mass. Ultrasonographic features were suggestive of large retroperitoneal mass with calcific foci & extensive vascular encasement consistent with neurogenic tumor. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) performed for staging confirmed these findings while histopathologic diagnosis of ganglioneuroblastoma was achieved by ultrasound guided biopsy. While vascular encasement is known in ganglioneuroblastoma, the scale of vascular encasement in this case is extensive.

Mucinous cystic neoplasm of pancreas are relatively rare >95% occur in the body and tail of pancreas. Majority occur in young and middle aged female containing ovarian type subepithelial stroma. These tumors are either premalignant (MCN with low grade dysplasia) or (MCN with high grade dysplasia) or invasive carcinoma. Differential diagnosis includes pancreatic pseudocyst and pancreatic hydatid cyst. Investigations include ultrasonography (USG), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) supplemented by endoscopic USG with cyst fluid aspiration.

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) is a rare condition, occupying only approximately 1% of all benign lung neoplasms and the description of this disease through a radiological perspective is limited. Only approximately a third of PSP has been correctly diagnosed pre-operatively through contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) thorax. To date, only few radiological features have been described to ascertain this disease and there is still a significant portion of patients being misdiagnosed with a malignant neoplasm.  We report a case of PSP that was initially misdiagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma stage IIA and the histopathological findings of surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of PSP. We try to add some points from this case into the previous radiological description of this uncommon disease with a common presentation.
