Decisional Algorithm

Background: Malformations related to the gallbladder are uncommon, with an incidence lower than 0,1%. The majority of them are asymptomatic, however when symptoms appear are non-specific with a similar presentation to biliary colic. Methods: We report a case of a 29-year-old woman with persistent upper right abdominal pain and no visualization of the gallbladder in the ultrasound (US), CT scan or in the magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Results: A laparoscopic exploration was performed due to persistent abdominal pain which confirmed an hypoplasic gallbladder. After cholecystectomy, symptoms were relieved. Herein we propose a decisional algorithm when suspecting a gallbladder with agenesis or hypoplasia. Conclusion: Surgeons need to take into consideration congenital anomalies of the gallbladder. Performing imaging techniques is important in order not to misdiagnose hypoplasia.

Rare Congenital Anomaly

The gallbladder hypoplasia is a rare congenital anomaly. We present a case of a 38-year-old man who was referred to us for surgical management of gallbladder disease. The patient presented abdominal pain compatible with repeating biliary colic as the first clinical manifestation. Preoperatively, the magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography imaging was useful to study thoroughly the biliary tract in order to avoid any iatrogenic injury. Intraoperatively, laparoscopy revealed a rudimentary gallbladder and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hypoplasic gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was successful and the patient did not present abdominal pain again.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as a novel treatment in a wide variety of malignancies; however, it is associated with a distinctive array of side effects known as immune-related adverse events. Hyperprogression is defined as an accelerated growth of disease burden in patients treated with immunotherapy. Limited literature is available regarding hyperprogression in hepatocellular cancer. We report a case of a 36-year-old male with no past medical history who presented with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with unresectable hepatocellular cancer and thereby started on atezolizumab and bevacizumab. The patient got only 1 cycle of treatment and unfortunately had hyperprogression of disease.

Background. Fascioliasis is a disease caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica. Cholangitis is a common clinical manifestation. Although fascioliasis may show various radiological and clinical features, cases without biliary dilatation are rare. Case report. We present unique ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings of a biliary fascioliasis case which doesn’t have biliary obstruction or cholestasis. Radiologically, curvilinear parasites compatible with juvenile and mature Fasciola hepatica within the gallbladder and common bile duct were found. The parasites appear as bright echogenic structures with no acoustic shadow on US and hypo-intense curvilinear lesions on T2 weighted MRCP images. Conclusions. Imaging studies may significantly contribute to the diagnosis of patients with subtle clinical and laboratory findings, particularly in endemic regions.

Diffuse Abdominal Pain

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition defined as extensive intraperitoneal spread of mucus associated with a variety of mucinous tumors. Although appendix has usually been implicated as the primary site, some reports found no cause. This case also describes a PMP with no identifiable primary site. A 52-year-old male presented with an abdominal distension evolving for 3 months associated with diffuse abdominal pain, imaging techniques objective intra peritoneal mucoid materials with septated ascites but it failed to identify the primary site. Exploratory laparotomy with Biopsy confirmed PMP but also failed to found the original site.
