Omental and mesenteric cysts are both rare pathologies in children. Children who have omental cysts usually display symptoms of abdominal distension, with or without a palpable mass. The mass can simulate ascites on clinical observation, or tuberculosis on radiological images. The optimal treatment for this condition is complete resection. The presenting symptoms of abdominal distension and the...

The patient is a 92-year-old woman, with no medical-surgical history of interest, who reported abdominal pain and fecal vomiting over the previous 24 h. Upon examination, the abdomen was diffusely painful, with no peritoneal irritation, epigastric tympanites and dullness to percussion in the rest of the abdomen. Computed tomography detected an abdominal cystic mass measuring 22 14 cm that occup...

subject altogether, or merely refer to it briefly. Although it is of surgical, rather than of gynecological interest, the condition has been so frequently mistaken for pelvic tumours, that on this account as well as my having had the experience of a case, I have ventured to bring a note of it before the Society. Between the layers of the mesentery we find connective tissue, fat, lymphatic vesse...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) surveillance of patients with mucinous pancreatic cysts relies on the assessment of morphologic features suggestive of malignant transformation. These criteria were derived from the evaluation of surgical pathology in patients with pancreatic cysts who underwent surgery. Reliability of these criteria when evaluated by EUS in identifying lesi...

The baby was born to a 24-year-old primigravida mother by cesarean section at 36 week gestation and weighed 2420 grams. Antenatal scan at 32 week gestation showed dilated bowel loops and polyhydramnios (Amniotic fluid index: 32 cm) suggestive of intestinal obstruction. He developed respiratory distress soon after birth and was referred to our unit. On examination, the baby had respiratory distr...

INTRODUCTION Enteric duplication cysts presenting in adulthood are rare. Isolated enteric duplication cysts, which lack a connection to the GI tract or the adjacent mesenteric vasculature, have only been cited in six previous case reports. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old female presented with a four-year history of intermittent nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) sca...

A 21-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of intermittent attacks of abdominal distention and abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) and abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a large multicystic mass. After the operation, histopathological findings revealed a lamellated ectocyst and germinal layer with a thick outer, non-cellular membrane in the wall of the cyst, making a d...

Duplication of the alimentary tract is a rare but well-known condition, the aetiology of which is imperfectly understood. The present knowledge and theories are discussed by Willis (1958). Duplications occur on the dorsal or mesenteric aspect of the normal alimentary tract and may or may not communicate with it. Often they do not communicate and the secretions of the epithelial lining lead to c...
