One of the most common problems experienced in surgical practice, which challenges the surgeon and needs the ability to diagnose through knowing the anatomy and pathological process that can occur inside the abdomen, is a mass in the right iliac fossa. The purpose of this research was to examine clinical appearance, differential diagnosis and treatment methods for patients with the right iliac fossa.Study was carried out in the Dept. of General Surgery at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Sawangi (M), Wardha , Maharashtra , between August 2018 to December 2019. 43 patients with signs and symptoms of right iliac fossa mass were studied by taking detailed clinical history, physical examination, and were subjected to various investigations.In the present study appendicular mass constituted 60.46%, appendicular abscess 09.30% ,ileocaecal tuberculosis 06.97 % , carcinoma caecum 13.95 % , intussusseption02.32%. Patients presented with constitutional symptoms like pain , fever , vomiting , weight loss.Appendicular lump remains the most common entity in right iliac fossa mass patients. Ileocaecal tuberculosis is one of the most common differential diagnosis to be considered for pain abdomen evaluation in rural population. Conservative treatment followed by interval appendicectomy remains the main management modality in appendicular lump. The rare cause of mass in right iliac fossa as intussusception should be kept in mind.

Mediastnal abscess is rare, yet it could be a life threatening infecton. A precise diagnosis followed by adequate treatments need to be quickly established. Clinical informaton is usually not diagnostc. Therefore, radiological examinatons have important role.We report a ffy-one years old female with clinical history of sore throat, cough and neck-facial edema since fve days before admission. Laboratory examinatons revealed leukocytosis and ESR elevaton. Chest x-ray depicted a homogenous consolidaton in the right paratracheal region which deviated trachea to the lef. On enhanced chest CT examinaton, we found a cystc mass in the right paratracheal region, extending to the right supero-anterior mediastnum, with peripheral enhancement, air-?uid level and minimal right pleural e?usion, suggestve for mediastnal abscess. Bronchoscopy found no abnormality.Several days later, mediastnal abscess was confrmed surgically and drained through thoracotomy. Although culture of pus failed to grow any bacteria, histopathological examinaton confrmed a non-specifc chronic in?ammaton with no sign of malignancy. The main purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of enhanced chest CT in evaluatng patent with tumor mimicking mediastnal abscess.

Abstract Gastric volvulus is a rare abnormal rotation of the stomach along its axis. It is a surgical emergency, hence requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent life-threatening gangrenous changes. Hence, a high index of suspicion is required in any patients presenting with an acute abdomen in emergency. The entity can present acutely with pain abdomen and vomiting, or as chronic with non-specific symptoms. Chest X-ray findings to diagnose it may be overlooked in patients with acute abdomen. Here, we report three patients with gastric volvulus, where the diagnosis was based on the chest X-ray findings, confirmed with computed tomography, and managed successfully with surgery.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema are rare complications of labor, especially in the late pregnancy period, but they are usually self-limiting. Management includes avoidance of exacerbative factors and close observation with supportive treatment. A 19-year-old primi gravida at 36 weeks pregnancy presented with swelling over the right side of the face, neck and chest. Her general examination was normal. Systemic examination revealed swelling with palpatory crepitation over the right side of chest, neck and face, and other examination findings were normal. Chest X-ray revealed subcutaneous emphysema without pneumothorax. The patient left hospital against medical advice. Keywords: Pregnancy; subcutaneous emphysema; pneumomediastinum.

Background: The etiological diagnosis of pneumonia is often difficult because of the impossibility of microbiological confirmation most of the time. Therefore, chest X-ray is still essential for a positive diagnosis and etiological orientation. The main objective of our study was to describe the radiographic aspects of acute community-acquired pneumonia and tubercular pneumonia in children.Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective study conducted at the university hospital mother and child of Tsaralalana from January 1st to July 31st, 2017.Results: Sixty-nine cases of pneumonia were included, including 13 cases of TB pneumonia and 46 cases of acute community-acquired pneumonia. The average age was 36.68 months with a male predominance. Clinically, respiratory functional signs predominated in both cases. Alteration in general condition was mainly observed in tubercular pneumonia (26.08%). Alveolar syndromes were present in 43.47% of TB pneumonias and 36.94% of acute community-acquired pneumonia. With regard to the radiographic images, alveolar involvement was common to both types of pneumonia; the nodular image was present in 8.69% of the tubercular pneumonias and 2.17% of the acute community-acquired pneumonia; the cavity image was present only in the tubercular pneumonia (p=0.04); the right-sided location predominated in both cases.Conclusions: X-ray images were common to both TB pneumonia and acute community-acquired pneumonia; some images were specific to TB pneumonia. However, the etiologic orientation of pneumonia is based on a combination of epidemiologic, clinical, and radiographic evidence.

Fat Stranding

A 39-year-old multiparous Afro-Caribbean woman attended the emergency department with sudden-onset severe right iliac fossa pain. Her inflammatory markers were mildly elevated. Computerised tomography of the abdomen demonstrated features of fat stranding in the right iliac fossa suspicious of acute appendicitis. The scan also noted uterine leiomyomas. The patient was taken to theatre for an emergency diagnostic laparoscopy where her appendix was found to be macroscopically normal. A necrotic heavily calcified parasitic leiomyoma was seen in the right adnexa, free of the uterus and adherent to the greater omentum on a long torted pedicle. The parasitic leiomyoma was successfully removed piecemeal laparoscopically. Complications of leiomyomas, namely, torsion and necrosis, are important differentials in women presenting with sudden-onset lower abdominal pain. A history of sudden-onset severe lower abdominal pain with a background of known leiomyoma should prompt the clerking surgeon to consider a complication of leiomyoma as part of the differential diagnoses.

A previously well 48-year-old man presented with presyncope and was found to be in complete heart block. Blood tests, echocardiography and coronary angiography were reported as normal, and a dual chamber permanent pacemaker was inserted. Six months later he re-presented with breathlessness. His chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly and echocardiography revealed a 4.4 cm pericardial effusion. A CT thorax revealed a mass originating from the intra-atrial septum, extending into the right atrium and ventricle. There were multiple pulmonary lesions suspected to be metastases. Histology demonstrated high-grade B-cell lymphoma. He was treated with eight cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy and showed good radiological and clinical improvement. Post-treatment echocardiography found severe left ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of <20%. Heart failure medical therapy was optimised and the pacemaker was upgraded to a resynchronisation device. A repeat scan 6 months post device upgrade showed an improvement in ejection fraction to 45%–50%.

Pericardial masses include cysts, pericardial tumours, and pericardial haematomas. Pericardial cysts are benign lesions commonly located in the right cardiophrenic angle that remain typically asymptomatic and are incidentally found in chest X-ray or chest computed tomography but might cause pressure symptoms or become infected, thus requiring surgical management. Hydatid cysts due to echinococcosis are the most common acquired pericardial cysts, characterized by wall calcification, and indicate surgery.
