Caecal desmoid tumour – A rare tumour at uncommon location and review of literature

A 49-year female presented to surgery outpatient clinic with the awareness of a right lower abdomen asymptomatic lump for one week. Contrast enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated a 10x11x15cm heterogeneous lesion anterior to the ileocecal junction with the possibility of leiomyosarcoma. Patient was prepared for laparotomy and intraoperative there was a large tumour arising from the medial wall of cecum. Right hemicolectomy was performed, and histopathology came as a desmoid tumour of the cecum. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and is well on one year follow up.

Objectives Cystic adventitial disease is an extremely rare vascular disorder and is often misdiagnosed. In order to improve the knowledge and treatment of this disease, a case of venous cystic adventitial disease was reported. Methods The whole processes about the diagnosis and treatment of one patient with venous cystic adventitial disease was retrospectively studied. Results This case of venous cystic adventitial disease was diagnosed accurately by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and treated successfully by surgical resection. No complications were detected after one-year post-operative follow-up. Conclusions Surgical resection is a safe and effective method for the treatment of venous CAD.

Atypical leiomyoma or leiomyoma with bizarre nucleus is diagnosed on histopathological examination characterized by severe cytological atypia in the form of nuclear enlargement, multi nucleation, hyperchromasia, coarse chromatin and prominent nuclei. These tumours do not have typical features of necrosis or mitotic figures to characterize them as leiomyosarcoma. There are 2% risk of these tumours to convert to leiomyosarcoma. 50-year P3L3A1 postmenopausal for past 6 years presented to gynaecology outpatient department (GOPD) with complains of pain in lower abdomen for past 1 year. Patient was examined and investigated. On clinical examination there was no apparent finding. On radiological examination a well-defined hypoechoic lesion of 6.4×5.7 cm2 was found arising from uterus. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) abdomen showed heterogenous mass involving endometrium and myometrium likely neoplastic. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophrectomy was done. Histopathological examination (HPE) report revealed features of atypical leiomyoma. Patient is under follow up in GOPD.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clip-assisted endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection for gastric varices with a gastrorenal shunt. Methods Records were reviewed of patients with gastric varices and concomitant gastrorenal shunts who underwent clip-assisted endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection at three tertiary centers between April 2016 and October 2018. The assessed outcomes were technical success rate, eradication of gastric varices, cyanoacrylate embolization, and all-cause rebleeding. Results A total of 61 patients were analyzed. The procedure was successful in all patients (100 %). Gastric varices were eradicated in 30 of 33 patients (90.9 %) according to contrast-enhanced computed tomography re-examination within 1 month after the procedure. No symptoms or signs of cyanoacrylate embolization related to the procedure were observed. Four patients (6.6 %) were lost to follow-up. All-cause rebleeding occurred in 13/57 patients (22.8 %) during a median follow-up period of 225 days (interquartile range 114 – 507 days). Conclusions Clip-assisted endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection appeared to be a safe procedure that was convenient and efficacious in the treatment of gastric varices with concomitant gastrorenal shunt.

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.

Purpose: To report the successful endovascular occlusion of a persistent endoleak owing to collateral perfusion in a 1-year-old bifurcated aortic endograft. Methods and Results: An 81-year-old man underwent endovascular repair of a 5.5-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a bifurcated stent-graft in 1995; collateral perfusion of the excluded aneurysm by retrograde filling of the patent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) was noted postoperatively. At his 1-year follow-up, the mid-sac endoleak persisted on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Using the superior mesenteric artery for access, the stump of the IMA was successfully embolized with glue. Conclusions: This case, which highlights the importance of documenting a patent IMA prior to AAA endografting, illustrates one option for the management of persistent collateral perfusion of endovascularly excluded aneurysms.

Introduction The article describes the first experience of performing percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided cryoablation of renal tumor and assesses the safety and short-term results of treatment. Materials and Methods Twelve patients were subjected to US-guided cryoablation of renal tumor in 2015. The tumor size in 11 patients was up to 3.0 cm (T1а); in one female patient, 4.5 cm (T1b). Tumors were assessed according to the PADUA score. In eight patients, it was 6-7 (low); in three patients, 8-9 (average); in one, 10 (high). All the patients underwent US examination using a FlexFocus 800 apparatus with convex abdominal transducers. Before surgery and 6 months later, all the patients underwent renal Doppler US and contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Results The average cryoablation time was 60 min. Seven operations were performed under spinal anesthesia and five operations under local anesthesia. The follow-up period lasted 8 months on average. According to the ultrasonography and Doppler findings, after 6 months, the tumor (T1a) in 11 patients reduced in size by an average of 7-8 mm and had no blood supply. T1b patient's mass size reduces from 4.5 to 3.7 cm; however, a 1.5 cm area with a high attenuation gradient of the contrast medium was visualized. Later, the patient was subjected to laparoscopic renal resection. Histological finding revealed clear-cell carcinoma. Conclusions We consider percutaneous US-guided cryoablation as a method of choice for patients with stage T1a renal tumor localized on the posterior or lateral surface in the inferior or middle segment without sinus involvement and PADUA <9.
