A 28 days old neonate presented with high fever, abdominal distension, poor feeding and lethargy. Sepsis screen was positive; ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated a multiloculated hepatic abcess in the right lobe of the liver. The baby was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 6 weeks and percutaneous aspiration of the abcess, resulting in excellent recovery.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.14(3) 2015 p.299-301

Adrenal hemangioma is an extremely rare benign and non-functioning neoplasm of the adrenal gland. We report a case of a 71-year-old woman admitted for intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal distension associated with vomiting and chronic constipation for 5 years. Physical examination revealed a large abdominal mass. Both computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging suggested hemangioma in the right lobe of the liver. Laboratory examinations and tumour markers were within normal limits, except for hypochromic microcytic anemia. The mass was removed intact by conventional surgery and histopathology revealed a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland with no signs of malignancy. Surgical resection was curative, with no recurrence at the 2-year follow-up.

Introduction. Cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a parasitic disease, zoonosis, and is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. It mainly occurs in endemic areas. The most common localization is the liver. Case outline. In this paper, we will present our experience with a 67-year-old female patient diagnosed with an echinococcal cyst in the right lobe of the liver, as confirmed by computed tomography examination of the abdomen. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial pericystectomy with omentoplasty. The operation went without complications, as well as the postoperative period. Conclusion. Laparoscopic partial pericystectomy is a safe and effective treatment of available hepatic hydatid cysts. Considering all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic partial pericystectomy of hepatic hydatid cysts may be the treatment of choice, over the classical open surgery approach.

Haemangioma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare. We report a case of a cavernous haemangioma of the neck that was located both inside and outside the thyroid gland of a 21-year-old man. Ultrasonography of the neck revealed numerous calcified nodules. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large calcified soft tissue mass in the right lobe of the thyroid. Based on the imaging findings a papillary thyroid carcinoma was suspected, but examination of the surgical specimen revealed a huge cavernous haemangioma containing numerous phleboliths.

AbstractAdrenal myelolipoma is a rare condition. Although benign in nature, these tumors can increase in size and cause a mass effect to nearby structures presenting as abdominal distension and pain. In 90% of cases, adrenal myelolipomas are unilateral. However, the real challenge in management is when bilateral adrenal myelolipoma is present. Herein, we present a case of a 51-year-old male Caucasian patient with bilateral adrenal myelolipoma. The patient had a large left adrenal myelolipoma (23 × 13 cm) and a small one on the right (4.4 × 4 cm). We opted for an open left adrenalectomy due to classical features on computed tomography scan and the mass effect of the tumor.

AbstractGiant mesenteric cyst is a rare benign abdominal tumor. It usually arises from the mesenteric side of the small bowel. Right side syndrome is the term used for congenital absence of right kidney and right testis. We report on a 15-year-old male who presented with progressive abdominal distension, early satiety, and difficulty walking or running. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) revealed a giant mesenteric cyst, absence of the right kidney, and left moderate hydronephrosis. After excision of the cyst, the patient was fully recovered. Our report shows that both conditions may occur in the same patient and therefore an association of these two diseases cannot be excluded.

Abstract Background Mesenchymal hamartoma is the second most common benign liver tumor in children, with 20% of the cases diagnosed during the neonatal period. The exact etiology in still unclear, and most investigators believe that it is a developmental anomaly rather than a true neoplasm. The presentation of these tumors is highly variable depending on the lesion’s size, ranging from small asymptomatic lesions to very large tumors with life threatening complications. Radical surgical excision, whenever possible, is the gold standard for treating these lesions to avoid the problems of local recurrence and possible malignant transformation. We present the rare occurrence of an entirely solid, giant hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma in a 3-week-old male newborn and discuss the mode of presentation, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Case presentation A 3-week-old male newborn was referred to our institution with huge abdominal distension and respiratory distress. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of a very large solid intraabdominal mass occupying the majority of the abdominal cavity and abutting the inferior aspect of the right lobe of the liver, but did not reveal the diagnosis. At laparotomy, a huge solid mass was found attached to the right lobe of the liver. Complete excision was done, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mesenchymal hamartoma. Conclusion Although rare, mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver can present as a neonatal surgical emergency. Emergency intervention is required in symptomatic patients. Radical surgical intervention is possible and is the treatment of choice to relieve the patient’s symptoms and avoid future complications.
