Mesenteric lymphangioma is a rare entity with only case reports and small series available in the published literature. We report a 48 years female patient with non-specific abdominal complaints and a cystic mass identified at CT and US. At laparotomy we found a 5 cm cystic mass developed between the folds of the mesentery of the jejunum and an adhesion between the transverse mesocolon and the ...

We report a case of an adrenal lymphangioma removed by retroperitoneal laparoscopy. A 45-year-old female was referred to the urological ward for an adrenal mass that was incidentally detected by ultrasound examination one month earlier. An abdominal ultrasonography (US) scan revealed a 3.0 cm anechoic cystic mass, while a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 3.0×2.7 cm left adrenal cystic m...

BACKGROUND Mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the pancreas is basically cystic epithelial neoplasm, unilocular or multilocular, occurring almost exclusively in women. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old female presented with a pancreatic mass incidentally found on the abdominal computed tomography. She underwent distal pancreatectomy. The sectioned surface of the pancreas revealed a circumscribed,...

Pelvic schwannoma typically forms a large, well-circumscribed mass in the retroperitoneum or presacral area and frequently undergoes cystic degeneration. It appears as a well-demarcated round or oval mass, often showing prominent cystic degeneration and calcification. Characteristics of these calcifications are punctate, mottled, or curvilinear and are seen along the walls of the mass. Herein, ...

BACKGROUND Isolated retroperitoneal cystic masses are uncommon with an estimated incidence of 1/5750 to 1/250,000. The majority present with size related symptoms, complications, or a mass. Approximately a third of patients are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally. Aetiologies of retroperitoneal cystic masses (RPC) include mesenteric, omental, splenic and enteric duplication cysts. Neopl...

The majority of cystic squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the neck have been shown to be metastatic tumors from tonsillar SCCs associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV). Recent studies have demonstrated cytokeratin (CK)7 involvement in the development of HPV positive SCC, but no report has been issued on its simultaneous expression in primary tonsillar and metastatic tumor with cy...

Introduction: Germ cell tumors account for approximately 30% of all ovarian tumors. Ninety-five percent of germ cell tumors are dermoid cyst (mature cystic teratoma). It is composed of mature tissues derived from 3 germ cell layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm). Malignant transformation in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is a rare event, developing in 1 to 2 % of cases and is associa...

congenial cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (ccaml) is a rare lesion and is characterized by a multicystic mass of pulmonary tissue with an abnormal proliferation of bronchial structures. we report a case of ccaml type i presenting with heart displacement that was diagnosed prenatally.

We report on a 13-year-old girl with a solid cystic tumor of the pancreas. She was referred to our hospital with abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant. Physical examination revealed a firm mass in the abdomen. Ultrasonography showed a clearly demarcated round mass with a mixture of solid and cystic components. Computed tomography confirmed that the mass measured 5 x 5 cm with low density in...

INTRODUCTION Neuroglial heterotopia, heterotopic brain tissue, or differentiated neural tissue outside the cranial vault is uncommon, and these anomalies most commonly occur in the nasal cavity. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of rare pure cystic heterotopic brain tissue in a two-month-old Caucasian baby girl that presented as a large cystic neck mass and was confused with a cystic hygroma...
