BACKGROUND Mucocele of the appendix is a rare condition, the pathological classification and management strategy of which have not been standardized yet. AIM To report on our management of appendiceal mucocele, highlighting the pitfalls and possible means for avoiding them. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our registries were reviewed to retrieve cases of appendiceal mucocele, encountered in the perio...

Cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare and their diagnosis and treatment can be difficult. This report details 7 patients who had histologically proven serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma and cystadeno carcinoma. Computed tomography and sonography allowed excellent preoperative assessment but to attempt a distinction between the histological variants may be hazardous. Two tumours were o...

We report here on a case of extrahepatic biliary cystadenoma arising from the common hepatic duct. A 42-year-old woman was evaluated by us to find the cause of her jaundice. Ultrasonography and CT showed a cystic dilatation of the common hepatic duct and also marked dilatation of the intrahepatic duct. Direct cholangiography demonstrated a large filling defect between the left hepatic duct and ...

CONTEXT Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging is an emerging imaging modality. The study of the pancreas is a new and promising application of ultrasound acoustic radiation force impulse imaging. CASE REPORT We present the first case of pancreatic serous cystadenoma which mimics a solid neoplasm at conventional imaging (US and CT), correctly diagnosed as cystic at ultrasound acoustic radia...

Introduction. Hepatobiliary cystadenomas are rare benign cystic tumors and have a potential for recurrence and malignant transformation. The diagnosis may be very difficult because of absence of typical imaging feature in some cases. Case Presentation. In this paper, the authors discuss a 57-year-old woman who presented a jaundice related to hepatobiliary cystadenoma. Biological and radiologica...

Mucinous cystadenomas may reach a large size and may also tend to be hormonally responsive during pregnancy. A 25-year-old woman was presented with the labour pain at 40 weeks of gestation. Sonographic examination demonstrated a multiloculated, 38 cm in diameter, huge cystic mass at the right side of the uterus. After delivery of baby with cesarean section, ovarian cystectomy was performed. His...

Collision tumors are rare neoplasms defined by the presence of two distant in same organ without any histological intermixing. Each component collision tumor occur coincidently and no connection is found between tumors. Our case a ovary composed mature cystic teratoma Mucinous cystadenoma.
