hydatid disease (hd) is a parasitic infection that is most commonly caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. unusual location for this disease can cause diagnostic and therapeutic problems. we herein report a case of sacrococcygeal hd at an unusual location in a 30-year-old woman. she was evaluated using computed tomography (ct) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) after t...

congenital cystic lesions of the pancreas are rare findings. furthermore, dermoid cyst of the pancreas is exceptionally uncommon. a review of the world literature showed that only 18 documented cases of dermoid cyst of the pancreas were reported so far. the pre-operative evaluation of this lesion is rather questionable, with definitive diagnosis taking place intra-operatively. herein, we presen...

adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a relatively rare, slow growing lung neoplasm. metastases outside the lung are uncommon. herein, we have reported the case of a patient who presented with a large mass in the right lower lobe of her lung. bronchial biopsy revealed features suggestive of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung with a predominant cribriform architecture. ct abdomen showed feat...

BACKGROUND Large cystic ovarian masses pose technical challenges to the laparoscopic surgeon. Removing large, potentially malignant specimens must be done with care to avoid the leakage of cyst fluid into the abdominal cavity. CASE We present the case of a large ovarian cystic mass treated laparoscopically with intentional trocar puncture of the mass to drain and remove the mass. DISCUSSIO...

Cystic lymphangioma is also known as cystic hygroma, and this is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. Most lymphangiomas are present at birth and they are diagnosed by the age of 2. They are mostly located in the neck or axillary region. The breast as a site of origin is an extremely unusual location, and especially in adults. We report here on a case of cystic lymphangioma in a 3...
