Clinical Characteristic

Chronic granulomatous inflammation may develop after injectingforeign oily substances into the penis. The disorder affects mainlythe site of administration, but regional lymphadenopathy or evensystemic disease can occur. We present a 39-year-old man withpetroleum jelly-induced penile lesion and unilateral inguinal lymphadenitis mimicking incarcerated inguinal hernia. At hernioplasty no hernial sac was found, but enlarged lymph nodes suspicious for malignancy were identified. The histopathologic findings of these nodes were consistent with mineral oil granuloma. Paraffinoma of the male genitalia can cause various clinical features posing a differential diagnostic dilemma. Regional lymphadenitis may be the main clinical characteristic. Patient’s history, physical and histopathological examination are required to establish the diagnosis.

Histopathologic Findings

Background. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated cases of patients who had undergone appendectomy in our hospital and aimed to present the efficiency of diagnostic tests and demographic data of cases. Pathological reports were analyzed for the following parameters: age, gender, and pathological diagnosis. In addition, the demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics of patients with unusual histopathologic findings were evaluated in detail, and reanalysis of archived resected appendix specimens was carried out. Methods. Files of 2047 patients (1329 males, 718 females, sex ratio: 1.85, age range: 1-87 years, mean age: 26, 50 years), who had been operated with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis in the emergency department of Bezmialem Vakıf University Medical Faculty from November 2011 to June 2014, were retrospectively evaluated. Results. Cases were separated into 2 groups. Cases with histopathologic examination reported as acute appendicitis constituted group 1 (n = 2013, 98.34%), and cases with pathologic findings other than acute appendicitis constituted group 2 (n = 34, 1.66%). The second group consisted of 8 low-grade mucinous neoplasms, 7 mucoceles, 6 carcinoid, 5 granulomatous inflammation, 4 intraluminal Enterobius vermicularis, 1 endometriosis externa, 1 adenocarcinoma infiltrated to serosa, 1 mesenteric cyst, and 1 low-grade adenocarcinoma formed in mucinous cystic neoplasm background. Conclusion. Acute appendicitis is the most common emergency surgical condition. Although most of the resected appendectomy specimens showed typical histopathologic findings, some (1.66%) showed unusual histopathologic findings. Even if the macroscopic appearance of the specimen is normal or acute appendicitis, we suggest routine histopathological examination.

Work Up

This is a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented with signs and symptoms of an incarcerated inguinal hernia. The patient’s preoperative imaging showed a tubular structure in the inguinal canal and given the patient’s history at presentation, there was a concern for herniation of the appendix, known as an Amyand hernia. On laparoscopy, there was no evidence of appendiceal involvement and a standard open inguinal hernia was completed. On the final pathology of the hernia sac, roundworms were identified with Y-shaped lateral cords suggesting infection by Anisakis spp. On a further interview with the patient, he revealed that he had recently travelled to Alaska and had consumed raw salmon on a fishing trip. This case demonstrates the importance of a thorough social and travel history. One should also have a low threshold to broaden the differential diagnosis when medical work-up deviates from the standard course.

Resumen Antecedentes: la enfermedad hidatídica es una antropozoonosis causada en la mayoría de las ocasiones por el cestodo Echinococcus granulosus (EG), caracterizada por la aparición de quistes que pueden desarrollarse en diversos órganos, fundamentalmente en hígado y pulmones. Sin embargo, la aparición de estos quistes a nivel inguinal es muy infrecuente, con muy pocos casos registrados en la literatura científica. Objetivo: presentar el caso de un paciente diagnosticado de hernia inguinal incarcerada secundaria a hidatidosis peritoneal difusa. Caso clínico: varón de 27 años e intervenido de forma urgente por tumoración inguinal irreductible y dolorosa de 24 horas de evolución. En quirófano se evidencia una hernia inguinal indirecta con presencia de saco herniario que contenía epiplón sin signos de sufrimiento y en su parte distal una tumoración, pétrea y adyacente al teste derecho, la cual fue extirpada en su totalidad. El paciente fue estudiado tras los hallazgos quirúrgicos y anatomopatológicos que informaron de lesión pseudoquística y granulomatosa, por lo que se realizó una tomografía computarizada (TC) que informó de una hidatidosis peritoneal difusa. Conclusión: la presentación de la enfermedad hidatídica peritoneal como una hernia inguinal complicada es extremadamente rara.

Abstract One of the most common urological emergencies encountered in pediatric patients in the emergency department (ED) is the acute scrotum. We present the case of a 4-month-old male that presented to our community ED with scrotal swelling and vomiting of 16-hours duration. He was diagnosed with a functional testicular torsion from an incarcerated inguinal hernia, transferred to a hospital with pediatric urological capabilities and was taken to the operating room ~2 hours later. His hospital course was unremarkable, and he was discharged on day 3, having made a full recovery without any loss of bowel or testicle. There have only been a handful of cases in the literature of a pediatric patient presenting with a functional testicular torsion as a result of spermatic cord compression from an indirect inguinal hernia, with no reported cases of complete salvage at nearly 18 hours since symptom onset.

The incidence of tuberculosis is increasing worldwide, especially in developing countries. The prevalence of abdominal tuberculosis has been found to be as high as 12% in people with extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Peritoneal thickening and intestinal adhesions can occur in patients with abdominal tuberculosis. Inguinal hernias are extremely rare in people with abdominal tuberculosis; only 11 cases have been reported in the English-language literature, half of which involved pediatric patients. No definitive guideline on the management of such cases is available. In this report, we describe the unusual finding of an incarcerated inguinal hernia in an adult with abdominal tuberculosis and propose a therapy to treat this complicated disease based on our successful experience.

Cystic neoplasms of the kidney are rare, and present a unique diagnostic challenge. We report the case of an elderly male who presented with a large cystic neoplasm, which was a diagnostic dilemma clinically and radiologically. Histopathological examination showed a tumour composed of variably sized tubules lined by atypical cells having large round nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Hobnailing was seen at places. Tumour cells were immunopositive for pancytokeratin, vimentin, CD10, CK19 and AMACR, confirming a diagnosis of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (TC-RCC).

Malignancy Potential

Abstract Defined as a tumour with increased malignancy potential in childhood, medulloblastoma was first reported in the literature by Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing in 1925. Scientific studies over the years have shown that this type of tumour represents about 20% of all intracranial tumours encountered in childhood, their percentage decreasing with advancing age. The genetic factor plays an important part in the appearance of medulloblastoma; there are certain diseases, in the patient’s history, that can be associated with this type of tumour. Here, we can specify Turcot syndrome (an autosomal recessive disease, rarely encountered) or basal cell carcinoma syndrome. This article presents the case of a young patient (41-year-old) suffering from a cerebellar tumour formation that turned out to be, after histopathological examination, a medulloblastoma. In practice we can find several types of medulloblastoma (desmoplastic or nodular, anaplastic, classical or undifferentiated). In what follows I will try to highlight a few aspects of a classic medulloblastoma.
