Background: Massive cystic degeneration of the uterine myoma might mimic an ovarian tumor, especially a malignant causing misdiagnosis. We present case woman with marked leiomyoma mimicking neoplasm. Case: A 65-year-old (gravida 6, para 6) visited us due to abdominal tumor. Clinical examination and radiology exploration suggested presence tumour. The patient underwent total hysterectomy bilater...

We report a quite rare case of unruptured, isolated giant aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva resulting from medial mucoid degeneration in a young adult woman. A 29-year-old Japanese female diagnosed as having an aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva and severe aortic regurgitation with no clinical findings of Marfan's syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. A modified Bentall's operation was performed s...

Ovarian fibroma is the commonest benign tumor of the ovarian stroma. The cellular subtype accounts for around 10% of ovarian fibromatous tumors. The cellular fibroma is a tumor of uncertain malignant potential that may recur or be associated with peritoneal implants. Usually these are solid tumors, sometimes with small areas of cystic degeneration. This case is reported to highlight an unusual ...

Necrosis, infarction, haemorrhage and cystic degeneration in thymoma are described mostly focally. extensive cystic and necrotic degenerations are reported very rarely. A 38-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital for right chest pain, cough and dyspnea of 3 months duration. Radiological investigations revealed a mass lesion 7x9 cm in diameter located in the anterior mediastinum wi...

The congenital thymic cysts are rare. They have a congenital origin and they are benign. The differential diagnosis of acquired cysts, cystic thymoma and thymic malignancies in cystic degeneration can be particularly difficult. Rarely, they assume clinical relevance for the appearance of symptoms of compression, more typical of malignant lesions, and the association with thymoma was reported in...

An 87-year-old male was admitted with intermittent claudication of the left calf. We performed lower extremity angiography, which revealed stenosis of the left popliteal artery. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image correctly identified the cystic appearance of visualized extravascular hypodensity, causing extrinsic compression of the lumen. We diagnosed the condition as cystic adventitial dege...

A young man of about 24 years of age was admitted into the Seoni Main Hospital on 21st March, 1925, with a tumour about the size of a cocoanut situated in the right parotid and submaxillary regions. On palpation the tumour felt loculated and each loculus gave a fluctuating feeling. The differential diagnosis apparently rested between the following:? (1) Lipoma. (2) Cystic degeneration of endoth...

We herein report a rare case of mesenteric leiomyoma which is remarkable for its huge size in a male individual and cystic degeneration. A 22-year-old man presented with abdominal distention for 3 months. Systematic physical examination revealed abdominal bulge and soft abdomen. Laboratory examination indicated nothing but a slight increase of CA125. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a...

This paper describes a rare case of fibrous dysplasia with cystic degeneration in the mandibular condyle. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations are discussed. A 40-year old woman presented with pain near the region of her right ear. Physical and radiographic examination showed no abnormalities besides the presence of a mixed radiopaque/radiolucent expansive lesion of the right condyle. Path...
