abstracthydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormechinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. it was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

Teratomas are rare germline tumors that originate from one or more embryonic germ cell layers. Teratoma of the kidney is extremely rare, and less than 30 cases of primary intrarenal teratomas have been published to date. We report the main radiologic features of an unusual case of mature cystic teratoma arising from the left kidney in a two-year-old boy. A left-sided abdominal mass was detected...

We present an unusual case of concurrent occurrence of a multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma and a leiomyoma in the same kidney of a patient with no evident clinical symptoms. A 38-year-old man was found incidentally to have a cystic right renal mass on computed tomography. Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was performed under a preoperative diagnosis of cystic renal cell carcinoma. Histolo...

Clinical Features of Cystic Nephroma Cystic nephroma often is found incidentally by radiological examinations for other conditions, but may present as a palpable mass in the flank. or with pain or hematuria. Rarely, cystic nephroma is bilateral. Nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy are curative but incomplete excision has been followed by recurrence. Sarcoma has arisen in cystic nephroma in eigh...

A 13-year-old, obese girl presented with acute abdominal pain with abdominal distension for a year. The physical examination revealed marked abdominal distension with a large well-circumscribed mass sized 13×20 cm. Her body mass index (BMI) was 37.8 kg/m2. An abdominal CT scan revealed a huge multiloculated cystic mass and a left adnexal mass. She had an abnormal fasting plasma glucose and low ...

The authors present an unusual case of atypical iliopsoas bursitis in an 81 years-old female patient. The patient asked for medical advice due to a chronic left hip and lower abdominal pain with no specific characteristics. Physical examination revealed a palpable left-sided pelvic mass. Ultrasound examination demonstrated a purely cystic mass that was presumed to be an ovarian cystic malignanc...

One-third of schwannomas occur in head and neck region, mostly in the parapharyngeal region. Cystic change is seen in only 4% of schwannomas. The diagnosis of such tumors remains a challenge due to the rarity of these lesions and limited utility of fine needle aspiration cytology. When cystic, branchial cleft cyst is an important differential diagnosis more so due to radiological resemblance. W...

Adventitial cystic disease is a rare non-atherosclerotic vascular disease. We report a 36-year-old man with right intermittent claudication by adventitial cystic disease. computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an ovoid cystic mass compressing the right popliteal artery and causing severe stenosis of the lumen. Percutaneous aspiration was performed, which improved...

Fetal cystic hygroma is a rare developmental congenital anomaly of the lymphatic system, characterized by the formation of a multilocular, variably sized cystic mass. The incidence of cystic hygroma is estimated to be 1:6,000 pregnancies, but it is a relatively common anomaly in miscarried fetuses, with a frequency of 1:875 [1]. Among the cystic hygroma, the septate cystic hygroma carry poor pe...

A 35-year-old woman presented with left upper quadrant abdominal pain for one year. There were no gastrointestinal symptoms. Ultrasonography showed a cystic lesion in the left renal area. A computed tomography scan revealed a 10.5 cm × 9 cm × 8.5 cm heterogeneous cystic mass, occupying the superior pole of the left kidney. There were areas of calcification in the lower portion of the cyst. The ...
