Mesenteric cysts are rare abdominal findings. Due to absent or unspecific clinical presentation, very low incidence, and lack of adequate classification these cysts may sometimes represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. We report a case of 37-year-old man with vague palpatory tenderness in left hypochondrium and paraumbilically and with palpable large intra-abdominal mass in whom mesenteric cyst was diagnosed using US and CT imaging. He was operated and cyst was extirpated in toto. Histopathological examination revealed a thick fibrous cyst wall with the signs of chronic inflammation and without inner epithelial lining, which suggested its traumatic origin. Considering the possibility of malignancy mesenteric cysts should be radically resected (with resection of adjacent organs if necessary) due to their strong relapsing potential and a tendency for sudden, progressive local enlargement if not removed in toto.

Mesenteric cysts are rare benign abdominal tumors, and they can appear anywhere in the mesentery of the gastrointestinal tract, from the duodenum to the rectum. They are generally asymptomatic and may present as an incidental finding. The diagnosis is confirmed by the laparotomy findings and the results of the histopathological examination. Complete surgical (open or laparoscopic) enucleation of the cyst is the treatment of choice. We present a case of a female patient who presented with abdominal pain and a giant palpable abdominal mass. The patient underwent a surgical exploration which showed a giant mesenteric cyst. A complete surgical enucleation of the cyst was successfully performed without the need of bowel resection. The histopathological examination of the cyst was compatible with the diagnosis of chylous mesenteric cyst.

Mesenteric Cysts

Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal benign tumors (1 in 100,000 cases in adults) with various clinical presentations. [1,2] They commonly originate from the small bowel mesentery, although a proportion has been found to originate from the mesocolon, and retroperitoneum. [1,3] The formation of mesenteric cysts depends on the histologic origin, where they could be classified into cysts of lymphatic origin, cysts of mesothelial origin, cysts of enteric origin, cysts of urogenital origin, dermoid cysts and pseudocysts. [4,5] Diagnosis is extremely difficult since. The Mesenteric cyst is usually asymptomatic, but if symptomatic, abdominal pain (82%), nausea and vomiting (45%), constipation (27%) are the most common presenting symptoms. [2,3] The clinical finding of abdominal mass is encountered in more than 61% of the patients. [2,3]. As this condition is very rare and its symptomatology can resemble any other abdominal diseases, diagnosis is extremely difficult and incorrect preoperative diagnosis is often made. Hence, performing physical examination and conducting radiological investigations such as ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) are important in making a correct diagnosis. [2,3] As well as cases of mesothelial cysts, they are typically asymptomatic but occasionally, their symptoms are vague and non-specific. [6,7] As mentioned above, imaging modalities such as USG, CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are great in identifying the character, size, location, surrounding tissues and the wall and content of the cysts. [7] Surgery is the treatment of choice, as a complete resection with negative borders is curative and often prevents recurrence. [3] We report a case of a young female patient who presented with a vague abdominal symptoms and a large cystic mass in lower abdomen. After proper evaluation, surgical exploration revealed a large simple mesothelial cyst.

Introduction Mesenteric cysts are abdominal tumors with a low incidence, the clinical presentation depends on the location and size of the cyst, the recommended treatment is surgical resolution. In next pages. Case description We present the case of a 17-year-old female adolescent with no significant personal pathological history, who initially presented nausea and incoercible vomiting, accompanied by fever and abdominal pain of 5 days of evolution, which caused moderate dehydration and consequently acute kidney injury and later chronic kidney failure that is aggravated by systemic lupus erythematosus that the patient develops during the clinical course. Concomitantly, the patient presents significant abdominal distention, so it is performed a CT scan (Tomography), which reveals the presence of a mesenteric cyst that displaces intra-abdominal organs, so it is made a reference to general surgery. Patient remains awaiting renal biopsy to determine histopathological classification for underlying autoimmune disease. The patient remains awaiting surgical resolution. Conclusion Mesenteric cyst is a rare entity, surgery is the treatment of choice and the only definitive diagnostic method for mesenteric cysts, the patient remains awaiting surgical resolution.

Various clinical presentations from chronic abdominal pain to acute midgut volvulus with ischaemic bowel injury may result from failure of normal intestinal rotation and fixation. A patient having malrotation and internal herniation of gut clinically presented to us with intermittent abdominal pain, bilious vomiting and abdominal mass mimicking mesenteric cyst. This is a very rare and exceptional form of presentation of malrotation of gut. Rarity of the clinical presentation leads us to report this case.

AbstractMesenteric cysts represent rare diseases of the abdominal cavity. The low incidence and the nonspecific clinical manifestations lead to a difficult diagnosis. Most of the time, these are diagnosed in advanced stages when complications arise or by chance following routine imagistic investigations. The ideal treatment for mesenteric cysts is the total surgical removal. The prognostic is favorable in most of the cases.

Background: Mesenteric cysts are exceptional abdominal lesions of childhood. Presentation may vary with broad spectrum of symptoms from asymptomatic mass and nonspecific complaints to an acute abdomen. Objectives of this study were to present a series of patients with mesenteric cysts and to analyze our experience with emphasis on the presentation, management, and outcome.Methods: This observational study included thirteen children were diagnosed and treated for mesenteric cysts. All cases subjected to clinical evaluation, laboratory investigations and radiological studies. The diagnosis was confirmed on laparotomy. Ethics committee approval was obtained. The main data which extracted and analyzed included demographic data, operative finding, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay. Data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows software and P value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.Results: There were 13 patients with mesenteric cyst, 5 girls and 8 boys. The ages ranged from neonate to 8 years. Abdominal mass and pain was the main presenting symptoms. Prenatal diagnosis established in two cases. Laparotomy performed in all cases. Small bowel mesentery is the commonest site. Two patients required urgent surgery. Surgical procedures included cyst excision with or without intestinal resection. Chylolymphatic cyst was documented in 4 cases. Post-operative complications reported in 2 cases.Conclusions: Mesenteric cysts are unusual in children with variable clinical presentation. Complete excision was feasible in nearly all cases, bringing a favorable outcome. The possibility of this disease entity should be considered as the cause of acute abdomen.

The One

Retroperitoneal space is called sometimes no man�s land�and for a good reason: this is disputed anatomical territory for many surgical and medical specialties. Their wide histological diversity and unspecific clinical presentation make them a challenge for the surgeon. In order to improve their detection immunohistochemistry seems to show promising results. Methods of detection have evolved over time to identify as much as possible the histological type of tumor. Because of this extreme variability immunohistochemistry through its various markers is the one that often sets the definitive diagnosis, the simple histopathological examination being insufficient. This paper aims to highlight the main markers used in retroperitoneal tumors. As it can be seen there is a huge histologic areal for these tumors. Some have proven some of them still not. Given the fact that there is a tendency toward personalized therapy it is imperative to identify the histological type of tumor as soon as possible.

Gastric Lipoma

Abstract Gastric lipomas are rare, representing 2–3% of all benign tumours of the stomach. Most of these stomach neoplasms are small and detected incidentally during endoscopic or radiology evaluations. Computed tomography is highly specific imaging for lipoma diagnosis. Endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound are other important diagnostic modalities to confirm the diagnosis. Identifying typical features can avoid biopsy or surgery in asymptomatic patients. In patients with larger lesions, usually more than 2 cm, clinical presentation may encompass haemorrhage, abdominal pain, pyloric obstruction and dyspepsia. As a result of its extreme low incidence, treatment is not standardized, though it is widely accepted that a symptomatic tumour mandates resection. Here, we present the case of a 60-year-old female presenting with abdominal pain and recurrent vomiting due to a giant gastric lipoma (80 × 35 × 35 mm). The patient underwent laparotomy and an enucleation was performed.

Nasosinus metastases from kidney cancer are an unusual clinical presentation although some cases are reported in the literature. Among these cases, sphenoidal metastases are even rarer. Here we report a case of lone sphenoid metastasis in patients with papillary renal cell cancer. Eight months after radical nephrectomy, the patient presented with progressively worsening diplopia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass in the right sphenoid sinus. Histopathological examination of the biopsy sample confirmed diagnosis of sinonasal metastasis from papillary renal cell carcinoma. The patient was declined for surgical management and received stereotactic body radiation therapy. Reassessment MRI at 4 months showed a complete response of the treated sphenoid lesion.

First Case

Abstract Background Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly. The exact etiology is unclear; one of the mostly accepted theories is the occurrence of an embryological insult occurring in a diamniotic monochorionic twin leading to asymmetrical division of the blastocyst mass. Commonly, they present in the infancy with clinical picture related to their mass effect. About 80% of cases are in the abdomen retroperitoneally. Case presentation We present two cases of this rare condition. The first case was for a 10-year-old girl that presented with anemia and abdominal mass, while the second case was for a 4-month-old boy that was diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound. Both cases had vertebrae, recognizable fetal organs, and skin coverage. Both had a distinct sac. The second case had a vascular connection with the host arising from the superior mesenteric artery. Both cases were intra-abdominal and showed normal levels of alpha-fetoprotein. Histopathological examination revealed elements from the three germ layers without any evidence of immature cells ruling out teratoma as a differential diagnosis. Conclusions Owing to its rarity, fetus in fetu requires a high degree of suspicion and meticulous surgical techniques to avoid either injury of the adjacent vital structures or bleeding from the main blood supply connection to the host. It should be differentiated from mature teratoma.
