Inguinal localization of ectopic adrenal tissue is a rare condition in literature. We report an unusual case of a 28-year-old male patient with ectopic adrenocortical tissue, which was noticed coincidentally as a orangeyellowish nodule during surgery of inguinal hernia and resected for patological examination.

Abstract Aim Repair of inguinal hernia is one of the most common operations in general surgery in industrialized countries. Isolated spermatic cord liposarcoma is a very rare soft tissue tumor. Despite standardized diagnostic algorithms for inguinal hernia, it could be difficult to predict such a rare finding. Material and Methods We report a case of inadvertent inguinal liposarcoma excision during hernia surgery in a 72-year-old male patient. Except for polyposis coli there were no further illnesses. Results After a minimal invasive transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of a symptomatic inguinal hernia last year a persistent scrotal swelling developed. Computed tomography (CT) showed a protrusion of fatty tissue into the scrotal sac. Diagnosis of scrotal hernia was made. We performed an open Lichtenstein procedure. The final pathologic examination revealed a highly differentiated liposarcoma. Staging was completed and the case was presented to a multidisciplinary sarcoma tumor board at our institution. As recommended, a inguinal reoperation was performed with wide excision. Conclusions Although a very rare condition, spermatic cord liposarcoma should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis for inguinal hernia surgery.

Fungal infection of the kidneys is a rare condition that has been reported in premature babies and in diabetic or immunocompromised adult patients. Candida spp. is the most frequent micro-organism involved. This paper reports a case of an immunocompetent newborn with a bladder exstrophy who suffered from an acute renal failure caused by bilateral renal aspergilloma (Aspergillus flavus). The newborn was treated with amphotericin B urinary tract irrigation through bilateral nephrostomy catheters, combined with liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole therapy, which improved his renal function. However, due to persistent fungal colonization, a long antifungal treatment and permanent ureterostomies were necessary to deal with new episodes of ureterorenal obstruction. As of November 2009, despite the renal injuries, renal function had been conserved. The management of the mechanical obstruction and the choice of antifungal drugs are discussed in this unusual case.

Psoriasis is known to cause chronic inammatory disorder of the skin through an immune mediated mechanism, it may be complicated by different types of glomerular lesions. Three different mechanisms have been implicated by which psoriasis can cause renal damage: immune-mediated renal damage, drug-related renal damage and chronic renal damage. This report presents a case of 35 years old male patient with extensive psoriasis, who presented to our hospital with nephrotic syndrome

We describe an unusual case of an odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) associated with an ungrafted left-sided alveolar cleft in a 10-year-old male patient. There is no previous report in the literature of OKC or other dental cysts associated with an alveolar cleft. We discuss the management of the OKC prior to secondary bone grafting and present this case to highlight the difficulty in the management of OKC concurrent with grafting of the alveolar cleft site, the proximity of unerupted permanent teeth, and possible treatment modalities.

We report a case involving the concomitant presentation of two rare conditions: heterotopic adrenal tissue in the pelvic peritoneum and serous surface papillary carcinoma. A postmenopausal woman with an abdominal cystic mass and generalized ascites underwent laparotomy with the suspicion of ovarian carcinoma. Final histopathological analyses revealed serous surface carcinoma with metastasis to the endocervical canal, bilateral fallopian tubes, omentum, and para-aortic lymph nodes. Heterotopic adrenal tissue was also detected in the peritoneum. Serous surface carcinoma of the peritoneum should be considered in the differential diagnosis when ascites, omental caking, and peritoneal nodules are observed in a patient with or without an ovarian mass. Heterotopic adrenal tissue is another rare condition in adults and can be detected incidentally in the peritoneum.

Adenomyosis, also known as endometriosis interna, is the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Its localised form is called adenomyoma and mimics a leiomyoma. Rarely, adenomyomas are located outside the uterus and some of them form uterus-like masses with a thick muscle wall and an endometrium-lined central cavity. They are generally located in the ovary or broad ligament, and, although they are closely related to endometriosis, their pathogenetic mechanisms are different from each other. Müllerian duct fusion defect and subcoelomic mesenchyme transformation theory are two possible pathogenetic mechanisms for this rare entity. Here we report abscessed uterine and extrauterine adenomyomas forming uterus-like masses in the left and right broad ligament and an ectopic adrenal tissue in the left paraovarian region in a 56-year-old woman. Although there is a reported abscessed adenomyosis in the literature, this is the first abscessed extrauterine uterus-like masses with synchronous pelvic pathologies like endometriosis, leiomyomas, adenomyosis, an endometrial polyp, an endocervical polyp, and an ectopic adrenal tissue. This benign lesion gives the impression of leiomyoma, a uterine malformation, or even malignancy preoperatively. Frozen section helps in differential diagnosis.
