Our purpose is to show the Multi-Detector CT (MDCT) findings of an intra-abdominal giant cystic lesion with midgut volvulus and to share our experience with giant lymphangiectasis mimicking a mesenteric cyst or a cystic mass. The pathological evaluation indicated that the cyst contained abdominal lymphatic material. Malrotation is usually detected in infants and children, but rarely in adults. ...

Gallbladder cyst is a rare entity. We herein report a case of gallbladder cyst with an anomalous junction of the cystic duct and review the literature. A 49-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with cholecystolithiasis. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography showed a few stones in the gallbladder. Multi-slice CT cholangiography showed an anomalous junction of the cystic duct which ...

Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst is detected extremely rarely and often masquerades as other diseases. Here, we report 2 cases of retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst mimicking pancreatic mucinous tumor. Histologically, both cysts were composed of ciliated respiratory-like epithelium with abundant mucin content, smooth muscle bundles and mature cartilage, compatible with the diagnosis of retroper...

We report two cases of intraosseous lipoma in the calcaneus of a 38 year old man, complaining about heel pain and a 27 year old woman with no pain. Plain radiographs showed a well-defined cystic lesion in the calcaneus with sclerotic margins. Computed tomography (CT) detected a well-defined, low-density lesion with attenuation values equal to adipose tissue. Magnetic resonance (MR) findings sho...

Migration of intraocular silicone oil, used in the treatment of complicated retinal detachment, has been rarely described, but when it happens it can arise with a differential diagnosis with scleral buckling extrusion, tumor, dermoid, ocular cysticercosis, and abscess. The presence of silicone oil in the eye gives very ugly echographic pictures, but these kinds of pictures can be very useful in...

A 20-year-old male presented to the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi complaining of intermittent fever of two-month duration. There was no history of abdominal pain, jaundice, anorexia or weight loss. Physical examination revealed an ill-defined epigastric lump. The patient was evaluated with an ultrasound and CT scan of the abdome...

A 16-year old female presented to hospital with abdominal pain. Features on computed tomography raised the possibility of biliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. She underwent a liver resection, and histopathology confirmed a serous biliary cystadenoma. This case is presented to highlight the radiological features of this uncommon pre-malignant condition as well as to summarize a management ...

Squamoid cyst of the pancreas is a very rare disease and it has been proposed only recently as a distinct pathologic lesion. We herein present a case of pancreatic squamoid cyst in a patient who underwent laparoscopic resection. A 60-year-old woman had an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan for a routine check-up, and a multi-cystic lesion of 1.8-cm in size was incidentally found in the tai...

A case of isolated parenchymal venous varix not seen on angiography is reported. CT demonstrated a well-defined cystic lesion with peripheral enhancement deep within the left temporal lobe. MR demonstrated a high-signal-intensity lesion with hemosiderin rim.

CONTEXT Enteric duplication cysts are rare lesions of uncertain incidence and natural history. Pre-operative confirmation of diagnosis can be difficult. This case reports an adult duodenal duplication cyst presenting with grossly elevated intra-lesional levels of tumour markers. CASE REPORT A 57-year-old female was found to have a complex cystic lesion of the head of the pancreas. Intra-lesio...
