Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare benign tumor. To the best of our knowledge, there were only 10 reports of this tumor of the pancreas until March 2018. Case Report: Here, we reported a large invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas in a young woman with a complaint of abdominal distension and an epigastric mass about 3 weeks. She was found to have a huge multilocular cystic tumor at the neck and body of pancreas on computed tomography. She was eventually diagnosed with hemolymphangioma of the pancreas after operation. After 2 years of follow-up, there was no signs of recurrence. Conclusion: From our case and literature, we can conclude that hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is uncommon benign tumor, and it is hard to make an accurate diagnosis preoperatively. Radical surgical resection should be performed whenever possible. The prognosis of this disease seems good.

Introduction. Hydatid disease is caused by the tapewormEchinococcus granulosusand is still a matter of public health in many regions of the world, where it is an endemic parasitic disease. Although the liver is the most involved organ, hydatidosis can be found anywhere in the human body. Rare forms of location may lead to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.Case Report. Herein we report a rare case of acute abdominal pain and progressively increasing abdominal distension due to abdominal and multiple splenic echinococcosis in a 72-year-old Caucasian male. We also provide a brief review of the literature.Conclusion. Although hydatid disease is found most often in the liver and lungs, rarely any organ of the body can be involved by this zoonosis. Though rare, the possibility of unusual location of echinococcosis must always be considered by the operating surgeon, when dealing with diffuse abdominal pain in endemic areas, because any misinterpretation may result in unfavorable outcomes.

Pathologic Findings

An infant, 5½ months of age, died after a brief acute illness characterized by irritability and somnolence leading terminally to coma, and by excessive sweating, abdominal distension, tachypnea and tachycardia. Acidosis and azotemia were marked. He was found at necropsy examination to have pathologic findings compatible with both beriberi and Wernicke's encephalopathy. Investigation of the dietary history and analysis of the formula fed the patient confirmed the suspicion of deficient intake of thiamine. This is the first case report in which the coexistence of these two pathologic conditions in a child proven to have had an inadequate diet, has been documented. It lends further support to the thesis that Wernicke's encephalopathy is caused by nutritional deficiency. The importance of vitamin supplementation of restricted diets used in the therapy of infantile eczema is emphasized.

Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group G, a rare human pathogen, has long been implicated in human disease as causing pharyngitis, puerperal sepsis, empyema, and even septicemia. We are reporting a rare, life-threatening, acute illness, primary peritonitis, due to this organism, whose etiological source probably was a family dog. Case Report R.K., a 2-year-old girl, was admitted with the complaints of anorexia, vomiting of three days' duration, and severe abdominal distension of one day's duration. The symptoms started following a burn injury over the face and lips three days prior to admission. Past history was noncontributory. Physical examination revealed an ill child of average size, fully conscious.

Abstract Background: Cerebral palsy is not only a serious neurodevelopmental disease causing significant morbidity in children, but also a traumatic experience leading to psychosocial trauma to the parents or caregivers of the affected children. It is usually caused by prenatal or early post-natal insults to the newborn brain which may be associated with some congenital syndromes like congenital heart disease with transposition of the viscera but rarely a heterotaxy syndrome, a condition characterized with congenitally abnormal arrangement of the thoracic and abdominal viscera.Method: We present a case report of a 12 month old boy with neurodevelopmental delay, recurrent episodes of non-mucoid and non-bloody diarrhea, occasional constipation, bilious vomiting, abdominal distension and fever with associated cough and difficulty in breathing.Results: We discuss an unusual presentation of cerebral palsy and heterotaxy syndrome diagnosed clinically with supporting evidence from both laboratory and radiological tests. We also provide a brief literature review of the incidence and prevalence, causes and risk factors, classification, clinical presentation and associated co-morbidities of heterotaxy syndrome.Conclusion: Diagnosis of heterotaxy syndrome in a child with background cerebral palsy is a great challenge to both physicians and radiologists. This is more so in developing countries due to poor availability of good diagnostic apparatus, therefore, a high index of suspicion is needed. A clear understanding of the clinical features, comprehensive history taking and thorough physical examination are important in making prompt diagnosis. Timely and appropriate imaging is necessary to prevent delays in diagnosis and treatment which lead to poor outcomes.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition defined as extensive intraperitoneal spread of mucus associated with a variety of mucinous tumors. Although appendix has usually been implicated as the primary site, some reports found no cause. This case also describes a PMP with no identifiable primary site. A 52-year-old male presented with an abdominal distension evolving for 3 months associated with diffuse abdominal pain, imaging techniques objective intra peritoneal mucoid materials with septated ascites but it failed to identify the primary site. Exploratory laparotomy with Biopsy confirmed PMP but also failed to found the original site.
