A Rare Case of a Huge Retroperitoneal Tuberculous Cystic Mass in an 18 Year Old Ethiopian Female

ABSTRACT Struma ovarii (SO) is a rare special type of monodermal teratoma of ovary that predominantly consists of thyroid tissue (> 50%). In only 5 to 20% of cases hyperthyroidism is seen due to functional SO. We are reporting here a case of unilateral benign cystic SO in a 50-year-old postmenopausal lady presented with pain and heaviness in lower abdomen without any signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Pelvic ultrasonogram showed right side tubo-ovarian mass and was planned for laparotomy. In preoperative investigation subclinical hyperthyroidism was diagnosed. Abdominal exploration showed cystic mass lesion in right ovary. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathological examination diagnosed the mass as benign cystic SO. Patient became euthyroid after surgical removal of tumor. How to cite this article Lata I, Kapoor D.

Cystic hygroma is a benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that occurs in children younger than two years of age. Hygroma commonly presents in head and neck but can be present anywhere. It is rarely seen in adults. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with a huge painless right-sided cystic neck swelling of 11 months duration, associated with progressive dysphagia and difficulty in breathing when lying supine or on her left side. Clinically, the swelling occupied both right anterior and posterior triangles of her neck with impalpable right carotid pulsations. Computed tomography revealed a cystic mass lesion. The mass was excised totally through right supraclavicular incision, after identification of the great auricular, spinal accessory and phrenic nerves. Paraffin section confirmed the diagnosis of cystic hygroma. After an uneventful postoperative period the patient was discharged and has had no recurrence to date.

Adenomatoid tumor of the ovary is rare, and so are collision tumors in this location. The most common histological combination of ovarian collision tumors is the coexistence of mature cystic teratoma with ovarian cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. Presented herein is a rare case of ovarian adenomatoid tumor found incidentally and coexisting with mature cystic teratoma. A 44-year-old woman presented with a one-year history of intermittent right-sided pelvic pain. Ultrasound evaluation revealed a heterogeneous cystic mass in the right ovary, and a clinical diagnosis of teratoma was made. The patient subsequently underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy. Pathological examination revealed a mature cystic teratoma and coexistent adenomatoid tumor. The two tumors were separate and no transitional features were recognized histologically. To our knowledge, no previous report of coexistence of these two tumors has been reported. Both tumors are benign and completely excised; therefore no adverse consequences are expected.

Lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is the most commonly encountered congenital neck pathology in the lateral part of the neck. A 66-year-old woman presented to the ENT clinic due to difficulty in swallowing persisting for approximately 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass at right tonsil. Surgery was performed due to this unilateral tonsillar mass, which was excised together with the right tonsil. LEC was diagnosed at histopathological examination. LEC in the palatine tonsil is rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a rare case of LEC in the palatine tonsil.

We are presenting the case of a 26-year-old female patient who presented with a large swelling in the left thigh anteromedially. She was preoperatively diagnosed as a case of intramuscular hydatid cyst radiologically, and then cyst was removed and pathology proved the diagnosis. This case illustrates that echinococcal disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of every cystic mass in any anatomic location, especially when they occur in areas where the disease is endemic.

Incidental extracardiac findings (ECFs) are commonly noted on cardiac imaging. The majority of the ECFs are noticed on computed tomography (CT), cardiac magnetic resonance scanning, and myocardial perfusion imaging. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a widely used cardiac modality, there is scarcity of data describing ECF on TTE. ECFs have the potential to alter patient management. We present a rare case of a cystic mass seen in the posterior mediastinum on TTE, which led to further evaluation and diagnosis of esophagitis with ulceration.

Abstract Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is an uncommon and benign mesodermal tumour that arises from the retroperitoneal lymphatics. Notably, it is a rare occurrence in adults, where <200 adult retroperitoneal lymphangioma cases have been published in the literature. Additionally, retroperitoneal lymphangioma is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively and formal diagnosis is frequently determined following surgical exploration. Here, we describe a rare case of retroperitoneal lymphangioma in a 74-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of intermittent fresh per rectal bleeding with an incidental non-tender left iliac fossa firm mass on examination. Computed tomography scan established a retroperitoneal cystic lesion abutting the aorta and left common iliac vessels. Surgical exploration revealed a large cystic mass and a clean plane of dissection was performed, where the mass was completely excised with all the key structures preserved. Histology was consistent with a retroperitoneal lymphangioma.
