Bronchogenic cysts are congenital lesions developing during early embryogenesis. The intradiaphragmatic location is extremely rare. We present a giant bronchogenic cyst arising from the left crus of diaphragm. Based on our literature review results, intradiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts have the following characteristics: 1) they are more common in female patients; 2) the patients are usually asymptomatic, or present with symptoms of chest pain, abdominal pain, and hiccups; 3) the cysts located in the left diaphragm are more than those in the right diaphragm, most of which are located in the area of the left diaphragm crus.

Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of two distinct vasa deferentia within one spermatic cord, with only 28 cases reported worldwide since 1959. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a duplicate vas deferens, presenting with abdominal pain from bowel obstruction secondary to incarcerated inguinal hernia. Spermatic cord dissection during hernioplasty revealed duplication of the vas deferens within the right spermatic cord. Doppler ultrasonography confirmed absence of waveforms in both vasa deferentia with arterial signal in the accompanying vessel. The hernia was repaired without complication. This report emphasizes recognition of duplicate vas deferens in avoiding iatrogenic injury and optimizing surgical outcome.

Abstract Background 46XY partial gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) is a rare subtype of disorder of sex development (DSD). 46YY PGD is a congenital disease with atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex development. The patient in this case report had male and female genitalia simultaneously. We created a flowchart of the differential diagnosis for clinicians. Case presentation A 41-year-old male was admitted to the hospital complaining of lower quadrant abdominal pain for 1 day. Physical examination revealed that his penis size was normal, but a urethral orifice was located in the perineum area between the scrotum and anus. One small testicle was in the left scrotum, but no testicle was present on the right. The patient’s abdomen was bulging, and he had lower abdominal pain. According to the emergency CT scan, a lesion (74*65 mm) was found in the right pelvis between the bladder and rectum. The lesion showed an unclear boundary and hematocele appearance. The lesion was removed by emergency surgery, and the pathology report indicated a mixed germ cell tumor with a seminoma and yolk sac tumors. Conclusion This article is a case report of germ cell tumors in 46XY PGD patients. The literature review summarizes the clinical diagnosis, and a flowchart is provided for physicians in future practice. The importance of this report is that it will help acquaint physicians with this rare disease and make the right initial clinical decision quickly through the use of this flowchart. However, the variants of special subtypes of 46XY DSD are myriad, and all the diagnoses could not be covered in one flowchart.

AbstractBackground:Neck abscesses can originate from congenital cervical cysts. Cervical cysts of bronchogenic origin are rare and often asymptomatic. Common symptoms of bronchogenic cysts are stridor, dyspnoea and dysphagia. The reported patient represents the second published case of a bronchogenic cyst causing a neck abscess in an adult.Case report:We report a case of a cervical bronchogenic cyst presenting as a recurrent supraclavicular abscess in a middle-aged woman. During extirpation, a fistula was demonstrated to the right upper lobe of the lung, suspected because the cyst inflated synchronously with respiration.Discussion:The symptoms of bronchogenic cysts are due to the effects of compression or fistulas. In the majority of these cysts, a thorough investigation involving history, examination and radiological imaging does not clearly demonstrate a fistula. Therefore, extirpation is both diagnostic and therapeutic.Conclusion:A bronchogenic cyst is a very rare cause of a recurrent deep neck abscess. Total extirpation is the treatment of choice.

Bronchogenic cysts frequently occur in the mediastinum. They may be rarely encountered in the abdomen and retroperitoneum. Bronchogenic cysts can in fact mimic hydatid cysts. We report a case of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst below the right hemidiaphragm mimicking a hydatid cyst of the liver in a 30-year-old female.

We aimed to present how to approach to the postmenopausal torsional adnexal masses, accompanied by a case report and literature review. A 90 year-old geriatric age woman with G5P5 admitted to emergency department with complaints of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. We detected a tumoral mass with solid component and irregular surface suspected malignancy in the midline of the pelvis. Laparotomy was performed due to the suspicion of torsion and malignancy. We detected a approximately 25 cm torsional blue-purple colored tumoral mass originating from the right ovary and performed total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oferectomy. Pathology was reported as a sex cord stromal tumor with torsional. The patient was discharged with complete recovery on the 3rd postoperative day. Adnexal torsion is a gynecologic emergency. It should be considered in postmenopausal women who present with abdominal pain and adnexal mass.

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.
