Introduction. In the available literature, we could not find any description on the combined pathology consisting of a volumetric formation in the form of a dermoid cyst and malformation of the abdominal cavity in the form of an isolated duplication of small intestine with localization in the retroperitoneal space. Purpose. To present a curative and diagnostic algorithm for a rare pathology in the retroperitoneal space in a 15-year-old child. Material. A 15-year-old girl who was operated on for a dermoid cyst and an isolated doubling of small intestine localized in the retroperitoneal space and having no clinical manifestations. Results. When performing the spiral computed tomography (SKT) of the patient’s abdomen because of polytrauma, a cystic mass localized in the left half of the abdomen was accidentally revealed. Due to the critical state of the girl, it was decided to observe the child’s state and to make a decision on surgical treatment after her recovery. Later, at the preoperative thorough examination (ultrasound, CT, MRI), a retroperitoneal formation (dermoid cyst?) was suspected, and a part of small intestine isolated from the gastrointestinal tract but adjacent to this formation was visualized. Laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis, and both formations were successfully removed from the retroperitoneal space. conclusion. Modern imaging techniques have the potential to make accurate diagnostics in rare surgical diseases before surgery, to determine surgical tactics and minimize surgical aggression due to minimally invasive technologies.

Introduction. Gastric duplication cyst is a rare clinical observation. More often, these cysts are localized in the fundus or body of the stomach and have a common muscle layers and blood supply. Even more rarely, duplication cysts are not anatomically connected to the stomach and are located in other parts of the abdominal cavity or in the retroperitoneal space. Cystic duplication of the gastrointestinal tract, which are localized in the pancreas, is extremely rare. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the possibility of using laparoscopy for this disease. Materials and methods. The paper describes three rare clinical observations of gastric duplication cyst topographically associated with the pancreas. In the first clinical observation, gastric duplication cyst was combined with mediastinal duplication cysts, an esophageal bronchial fistula, and extralobar pulmonary sequestrations. In the second observation, a duplication cyst had communication with the pancreatic duct system and was clinically manifested by recurrent bleeding. In the third case, a duplication cyst is diagnosed behind the body and tail of the pancreas. Results. In all cases, surgical treatment was carried out by the laparoscopic method, leading to complete recovery. Histological examination in all the described observations confirmed the gastric type of epithelium of the mucous membrane of the cysts. The article provides a review of the literature. Conclusion. Thus, the efficiency of laparoscopic interventions in children with gastric duplications topographically associated with the pancreas was demonstrated. The described rare clinical manifestations, a combination of defects, as well as the possible presence of heterotopy of the mucous membrane of the duplication cyst confirm the need for surgical correction of the disease.

Intestinal resection is one of the most common surgeries performed on urgent indications, the most difficult is the decision in favor of the formation of primary anastomosis in the case of primary infection of abdominal cavity, multiple defects of the intestinal wall, as well as the general serious condition of a patient. In order to improve the methods of diagnosis and prevention of post−surgery complications, as well as personification of surgical tactics of treatment in the patients undergoing anastomotic surgeries in intestine, the results of treatment of 96 patients were analyzed. The level of serum cryoglobulins was determined by the method of A. E. Kalovidoris with modifications. The results of surgical treatment were evaluated according to the classification of D. Dindo et al. (2004). The use of cryoglobulin levels before surgery can significantly affect surgical tactics: at a low degree it is possible to perform resection of a segment of small intestine with the formation of primary small intestinal anastomoses; at average − it is possible to perform small−intestinal anastomoses with unloading intestinal stoma or with the location of the anastomosis extraperitoneally (if possible) and decompression of the anastomosis with an incubation probe; at high − it is expedient to supplement performance of an anastomosis with a variant of an enterostomy or "delayed" anastomoses, at a severe general condition of patients it is expedient to form final small intestinal stoma. Determining the level of cryoglobulinemia as a marker of the prognosis of failure of the sutures of intestinal anastomoses and the use of differentiated surgical tactics depending on the level of this index contributes to a significant improvement in direct results of surgical treatment of the patients undergoing resection of small intestine segments. The proposed tactics virtually eliminate the implementation of multi−stage surgical interventions and helps to reduce the duration of treatment of patients, reduce the level of post−surgery complications and mortality. Key words: cryoglobulinemia, surgical treatment, small intestine, anastomoses.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are one of the most common mesenchymal tumors that originate from the intestinal cells of Cajal. The most common localization of GIST is the gastrointestinal tract, however, extragastrointestinal forms are sometimes found. Most GISTs are small in size, which most often does not exceed 5 - 8 cm in maximum dimension. This article describes the case of a patient with a non-metastatic giant tumor of the stomach without any clinical manifestations. The tumor was localized in the abdominal cavity, occupying almost all of it, squeezing and displacing the surrounding organs. Due to the cystic-solid structure, its gigantic size and intimate adherence to the surrounding organs, it was not possible to carry out an accurate differential diagnosis before surgery. Intraoperative imaging of the tumor, further histological and immunohistochemical (CD117, CD34, S100, CD45, PanCK; Ki-67) studies made possible to establish the diagnosis of gastric GIST T4N0M0 stage II. Based on the data obtained, despite the gigantic size, the prognosis of the disease was considered favorable (low mitotic index, no metastasis). During the period of clinical observation, within 1.5 years after surgery, no relapse or disease progression was recorded, which indicates a favorable prognosis for the patient.

Creation of anastomoses between hollow organs of the abdominal cavity, retroperitoneal space and the small intestine always raises the question of the prevention of reflux from the small intestine into the cavity drained the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, liver outer duct cysts of the liver and pancreas. After surgery, any reflux becomes pathological. Reflux – is an obligate precancer. So, throw the bile and pancreatic juices in the stomach, the stump of the stomach, esophagus contributes to reflux esophagitis, reflux gastritis, ulcers and gastric cancer, or a stump. After an internal drainage of cavity formation in the small intestine develops postoperative reflux disease, which is caused by the actions of the surgeon who tried sincerely to help the patient. It is possible to give the definition of such states “Iatrogenic Postoperative Reflux Disease”.The aim of this work was to develop and put into practice a “cap” on the afferent loop of the small intestine, do not migrate into the gut lumen, with an internal cavity drainage structures of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space and to evaluate clinical outcomes. As a result, the authors have developed a way to create a “cap” on a loop of the small intestine, which is used for the drainage of cavity formation, conducted research on its safety, proper functioning, accessibility, analyzed the clinical situation offers. For drainage of cavernous fistula formation impose between him and a loop of small intestine 40–50 cm from the Treitz ligament. Form a intestine anastomosis by Brown.Above this junction length leads to the formation of the drained portion of the small intestine is about 10 cm, in the middle of which impose a “stub”. Length of discharge from the drainage area of education of the small intestine to interintestinal Brownian anastomosis is about 30 cm. To form a “plug” free land use of the greater omentum, through which by puncture-poke perform ligature of non-absorbable polypropylene material. The developed method for forming a “plug” does not cause drastic changes in the ischemic zone of operation, followed by necrosis of the bowel wall and migration "stub" into the lumen, and its efficiency is demonstrated by clinical observation of microcirculation studies, the results of the water sample, and radiological studies. Way to create a “stub” is promising for internal drainage of abdominal structures of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space, to form a nutrient anti reflux eyunostomy.

A clinical observation of the combined endometriotic lesion of the small intestine and the appendix is given below. Extragenital endometriosis is a rare pathology in which endometrioid heterotopies develop outside the reproductive system organs. At about 1825% of women suffering from the pelvic organs endometriosis, the intestines are involved in the pathological process. In this regard, it is believed that in most cases its lesion is secondary while the primary lesion of the intestine with endometriosis is rarely observed and occurs as a result of hematogenous introduction of endometrial elements into the intestinal wall. Of all parts of the intestine, endometriosis most often affects the rectum and sigmoid colon (7080%), then the jejunum, less often the cecum. The most rare gastrointestinal tract endometriosis localization is the appendix, the frequency of its lesion is 0.8%. It was carried out in a clinicopathologic analysis of 14 endometriosis cases in various parts of the intestine (4 cases of the small intestine lesions, 2 rectosigmoid part of the large intestine, 2 rectum, 2 sigmoid colon, 3 appendix, 1 combined lesion of the small intestine and the appendix). In most cases, the clinical diagnosis of extragenital endometriosis is difficult, and as a rule women come with complaints typical of acute surgical pathology: intestinal obstruction, appendicitis. An important role in differential diagnosis is given to the ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and abdominal cavity, magnetic resonance imaging, endoscopic research methods, as well as the connection of clinical symptoms with the menstrual cycle.

Abstract Background: Primary abdominal cocoon is a special peritoneal disease and easily cause misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Few cases have been reported primary abdominal cocoon with intra-abdominal cryptorchidism in the literature.Case presentation: We admitted one case of a 41-year-old male patient with primary abdominal cocoon and right intra-abdominal cryptorchidism. The main symptom of this patient was intermittent abdominal pain for more than one month, preoperative CT results showed that part of the small intestine folded into a mass, which was suspected of abdominal cocoon. Part of the small intestine was wrapped by fibrous membrane and the right testicle were observed in the abdominal cavity during the operation. Intestinal adhesion release and right cryptorchidectomy were performed successfully. Pathological results revealed that the membranous material was fibrous connective tissue with chronic inflammatory cell infiltration and no spermatogenic cells and sperm were observed in the seminiferous tubules of the testicular tissue. Conclusion: This article reports one case of primary abdominal cocoon with right intra-abdominal cryptorchidism. Primary abdominal cocoon lacks specific clinical manifestations, part of patients may have cryptorchidism and the diagnosis is difficult. We should improve the understanding of primary abdominal cocoon to better save the life of patient.

Short bowel syndrome is a pathological symptom complex that occurs after removal (resection) of the small intestine (more than 25% of its length), or when there is a signifi cant violation of its function. The most common cause of short bowel syndrome is adhesions of the small intestine that occur after surgical interventions on the abdominal organs. A description of the clinical observation of short bowel syndrome with severe manifestations of enteric insufficiency in a 41-year old patient is given. The patient was admitted to the surgical Department of FGBUZ Central clinical of the hospital Russian Academy of Sciences with com-plaints of General weakness, pain, spastic nature in the abdomen without clear localization, pain in the area of operational wound (for 4 months had 4 surgery for adhesive intestinal obstruction), abdominal distention, thirst, dry mouth, semiliquid chair 3–4 times a day, weight loss for the last 7 months before the hospitalization at 22 kg, the body mass index was 17.3 kg/m2. After the last surgical intervention, ileostomy of the ascending colon was applied using the Brooke method in connection with adhesive small bowel obstruction. The functioning segment of the jejunum was anastomosed with the ascending colon and was 22 cm long. At admission, the state of moderate severity, moderately emaciated, dehydrated. Liquid stool up to 6 times a day, without pathological impurities. MSCT of abdominal organs from 03.05.2018 with contrast: in meso — and hypogastria (mainly on the left), expanded loops of the small intestine (up to a maximum of 37–38 mm) fi lled with liquid content were visualized, the contrast preparation in the above described loops of the small intestine was not visualized. Additionally, non-expanded loops of the small intestine were visualized in the hypogastria and did not contain contrast. Non-functional loops of the small intestine in the meso — and hypogastrium. Liver, biliary system, pancreas, spleen — without features. On the background of complex therapy, the stabilization of clinical and laboratory indicators was achieved, which allowed to plan surgical treatment-laparotomy, closure of ileostomy, imposition of small intestine anastomosis in the large intestine. A laparotomy was performed with the right pararectal access. Continuous viscero-visceral and of viscero-peritoneal splices were found in the abdominal cavity. With technical difficulties caused by fi brous-calcifi ed splices, it was possible to separate the ascending colon and the part of the jejunum that goes to the anterior abdominal wall to the site of the bred jejunostomy. The intersection of the jejunum stoma was performed in close contact with the anterior abdominal wall. A double-row “end-to-side” anastomosis was formed with the middle third of the ascending colon. When performing laparotomy with left pararectal access under conditions of a pronounced adhesive process, it was possible to isolate a section of the sigmoid colon and a loop of the small intestine that was previously disabled (during the previous operation). Ileosigmoidostomy formed a double row “side to side”. The preserved portion of the small intestine was 85 cm. In the postoperative period, there were signs of endogenous intoxication. Against the background of intestinal paresis and severe intoxication, there was an increase in the markers of infl amemation and pancytopenia. Complex therapy with parenteral mixtures, prebiotics and antimicrobial drugs stopped the symptoms of intoxication, the activity of infl ammation, and improved laboratory parameters, which allowed us to gradually switch to oral food intake. Semi-formed stool 1–2 times a day. She was discharged on the 10th day after the operation for outpatient treatment under the supervision of a surgeon and gastroenterologist. One-year rehabilitation period with a positive effect, which indicates the uniqueness of this clinical observation.

We present a case of combined celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery embolism in a 70-year-old patient that was examined in emergency department for atrial fibrillation and diffuse abdominal pain. Standard abdominal x-ray showed air in the portal vein. CT scan with contrast showed air in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine, bowel distension with wall thickening, and a free gallstone in the abdominal cavity. Massive embolism of both celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery was seen after contrast administration. On laparotomy, complete necrosis of the liver, spleen, stomach and small intestine was found. Gallbladder was gangrenous and perforated, and the gallstone had migrated into the abdominal cavity. We found free air that crackled on palpation of the veins of the gastric surface. The patient’s condition was incurable and she died of multiple organ failure a few hours after surgery. Acute visceral thromboembolism should always be excluded first if a combination of atrial fibrillation and abdominal pain exists. Determining the serum levels of d-dimers and lactate, combined with CT scan with contrast administration can, in most cases, confirm the diagnosis and lead to faster surgical intervention. It is crucial to act early on clinical suspicion and not to wait for the development of hard evidence.

Background and Objective: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) are usually misdiagnosed because of rarity and nonspecific clinical and radiological features. The aim of our study is to explore the clinical and imaging characteristics of RDD to improve diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Clinical and imaging data in 10 patients with RDD were retrospectively analyzed. 7 patients were underwent CT scanning and 3 patients were underwent MR examination. Results: 8 (8/10) patients presented with painless enlarged lymph nodes (LNs) or mass. 3 cases were involved with LNs, 5 cases were involved with extra-nodal tissues, and the remaining 2 cases were involved with LNs and extra-nodal tissue simultaneously. In enhanced CT images, enlarged LNs displayed mild or moderate enhancement, and 2 cases showed heterogeneous ring-enhancement. MR features of 3 patients with extra-nodal RDD, 2 cases showed a mass located in the subcutaneous and anterior abdominal wall respectively, and 1 case showed an intracranial mass. Besides, all lesions showed high signal foci on DWI images, and were characterized by marked heterogeneous enhancement with blurred edge. The dural/fascia tail sign and dilated blood vessels could be seen around all the lesions on enhanced MRI. Radiological features of 2 cases with LN and extranodal tissue involved, one case presented with the swelling and thickening of pharyngeal lymphoid ring and nasopharynx, meanwhile with enlarged LNs in bilateral submandibular area, neck and abdominal cavity, and also companied with osteolytic lesion in right proximal humerus. All these LNs displayed mild and moderate enhancement on CT images. Another case showed enlarged LNs in bilateral neck accompanied with soft tissue mass in the sinuses. Conclusions: RDD occurred commonly in young and middle-aged men and presented with painless enlarged LNs or mass.RDD had a huge diversity of imaging findings, which varied with different location. The radiological features, such as small patches of high signal foci in the masses on DWI images, heterogeneous enhancement and blood vessels around the masses, are helpful in diagnosis of extranodal RDD.
