Hypospadias in dogs is a rare pathology in the veterinary practice. The manifestation of hypospadias in dogs is diverse, since there is a varying degree of damage to the urogenital apparatus. The owners of a Sheltie puppy at the age of 3 days came to the clinic due to the difficulty of determining sex, the presence of inflammation of the anus and abdominal skin, defecation and urination violations. Clinical examination of the puppy showed a blind-closed preputial sac, absence of the ventral wall of the prepuce and an open urogenital urine trough was located in its place in the abdominal wall area. On examination of the puppy at the age of 28 days, hyperaemia and swelling of the anus were noted, as well as prolapse of the rectum. Findings of the examination at the age of 4 months consisted of drying of the mucous part of the open urogenital canal chute and accumulation of pus in the underdeveloped preputial sac. Bilateral cryptorchidism and the absence of the scrotum were also found out. A decision on the surgical treatment was made. The anus and the opening of the urethra were separated to form a urethrostomy in the scrotum and restore the integrity of the anus. On the 5th post operative day, oedema and stricture of the reconstructed urethra resulted in difficulty urinating, followed by the formation of urinary fistula in the perineal region below the anus opening. As a result of the chosen surgical treatment approach, the problem with contact dermatitis of the perineum and pollakiuria was solved.

Acute appendicitis in puerperium is often diagnosed too late, because clinical signs can be unrelaible. Abdominal wall rigidity is rarely noticed in puerpeium because of weak abdominal wall muscles, laboratory parameters are not enough relaible and atipycal appendix presentation makes difficulties in diagnosis3,4. Knowing clinical signs and symptoms of appendicitis, possible complications and their early detection, make a chance for a good surgical outcome. Measuring of axillar and rectal temperature can take confusion in, and prolong time until surgical treatment. Leucocytosis in puerperium is not valid for diagnosis. We report a case of patient in puerperium with high laboratory infection parameters. Diagnosis of appendicitis is made based on clinical signs and symptoms, that is proved intraoperatively and histologicaly. Appendectomy without perforation carries less risks for mother and fetus.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumour that frequently involves the perineal region with a high risk of local recurrence. This is a case report of a 24-year-old female patient with a genital prolapse. We performed a surgical treatment. Histological examination found an aggressive angiomyxoma. The tumour recurred 1 year after surgery. Long-term follow-up is necessary.

Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized in males by a triad of anomalous genitourinary tract, deficient development of abdominal wall muscles, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Although similar anomalies have been reported in females, by definition they do not full fill the classical triad. Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSM) is a lethal condition characterized by presence of ambiguous genitalia, absent perineal openings (urogenital and anal), and lumbosacral abnormalities. In this original case report, the authors discuss the presentation and management of what would be analogous to a Woodhouse category 1 PBS in a female newborn associated with an overlapping presentation of URSM.

Diverticular perforation is a common complication of diverticulitis and can lead to the creation of abscesses. The presence of such abscesses on the abdominal wall is rare and can lead to misdiagnosis. We present the case of a patient with abdominal pain and the formation of a large left lumbar abscess due to perforation of a diverticulum of the left colon and our surgical treatment of choice with favorable results.

Fibromatosis (desmoid, desmoid tumour) is a tumour belonging to the group of fibrous tissue proliferative diseases. Although the tumour cannot produce distant metastases, it shows local malignancy by invading adjacent tissues, as well as high recurrence rates after local resection. The incidence of fibromatosis is 2-4 cases per 1 million inhabitants per year. Three types of fibromatosis have been distinguished: extra-abdominal, abdominal wall and intra-abdominal type. Although the most common types are sporadic, coexistence with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), known as the Gardner’s syndrome, is observed. Available therapeutic options include surgical treatment, watchful waiting, hormone therapy, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This case report aims to draw attention to the difficulties in selecting an appropriate treatment option, limited surgical treatment, the psychological aspect of the disease, as well as the need to actively search for modern diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. We present a case of a 26-year-old patient who was ultimately diagnosed with a desmoid tumour invading the abdominal wall and internal abdominal organs. The patient presented to a county hospital due to suspected gastrointestinal obstruction. It was found from medical history that the patient had palpated a tumour of the abdominal wall 9 months before admission.

Introduction. Giant lipomas, which are greater than 10 cm, are rare, cosmetically unacceptable, and deteriorate the quality of daily living. Removal of giant abdominal lipomas either by liposuction, excision, or both, can lead to the formation of a loose, pendulous drooping abdomen, and abdominal wall laxity, which is aesthetically displeasing. The objective of this case report is to highlight an easy approach to treat giant abdominal lipoma through therapeutic abdominoplasty. Case History. In this case, a 29-year-old man with a known case of hypothyroidism and HCV was in remission but had a huge abdominal mass on his lower left side; it progressed for 7 years and increased in size and caused discomfort. His BMI was 29.53 and the mass measured about 15×13 cm. All other investigations were normal and showed no malignancies. He underwent excision of the giant abdominal lipoma using a standard abdominoplasty approach. Conclusion. In conclusion, in selected patients, giant abdominal lipomas can be successfully excised along with the redundant abdominal skin.
