A 45-year-old man complained of a palpable mass in his left abdomen. Computed tomography showed a horseshoe kidney with a Bosniak type II complicated cyst from a left segment. Three years after his initial examination, due to the growing cystic lesion and the compression imposed on the urinary collecting system and surrounding organs, we performed a left heminephrectomy. The diagnosis was mucinous cystadenoma of the kidney. No recurrence was observed 6 months after surgery. The histopathology was unique since the inner surface of the cyst was covered by a mucin-positive columnar epithelium connected to a urothelium, with continuous transition between the two. This suggests that the mucinous tumour may have originated from a sequestered segment of the renal pelvic epithelium in the renal parenchyma.

Treatment of nephrolithiasis in horseshoe kidneys can be challenging due to anomalies in renal position, collecting system anatomy and vascular supply. We report on a patient who was referred after a failed percutaneous nephrolithotomy for a left moiety staghorn calculus in a horseshoe kidney. Two punctures had been performed involving upper and middle posterior calyces. Both were very medially placed and inadvertently traversed the psoas muscle, resulting in lumbar plexopathy with permanent deficit. This complication presented postoperatively with left leg weakness, paresthesia, and pain which impaired independent ambulation. The patient went on to be successfully treated for her stone disease with robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyelolithotomy.

First Case

Introduction: Pancreatic cysts are common (2.5%). Cystic neoplasms represent 10% of cystic lesions and 1% of pancreatic tumors. However, it is difficult to differentiate benign cyst from malignant cystic lesions preoperatively.Objective: To study the cases of pancreatic cystic lesion who underwent various forms of pancreatic resection.Materials and Methods: Nine cases of pancreatic cystic lesion who presented to Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Surgical Unit 3 within December 2014- November 2015 were evaluated. Four pancreatic cysts who underwent resection are discussed whereas not managed with resection are excluded.Results: There were 4 cases of pancreatic cyst who underwent pancreatic resection. First case underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma. However histopathological examination revealed a serous cystadenoma. In second case, pancreatic neck lesion suspected to be mucinous cystadenoma or pseudocyst in MRCP, with negative malignant cells in EUS guided FNAC underwent Central pancreatectomy and was found to be serous cystadenoma. The third case with suspected pseudocyst underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy after a 3X2 cm2 cystic mass was felt at the posteroinferior side of pancreatic head and malignancy was suspected intraoperatively . HPE report was mucinous cystadenoma. The fourth case with pancreatic pseudocyst at tail with duct calculi and chronic pancreatitis underwent distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy with Frey’s procedure.Conclusion: Management of pancreatic cystic lesion is challenging. Though radiological imaging has limited role in accurate diagnosis, endoscopic ultrasound may be of some benefit.

Early diagnosis of dental caries in children is difficult. This fact is applied to children with Down syndrome. In order to identify predictors of dental diseases, a crystallographic method is widely used for studying oral fluid. The aim of the work is to evaluate the mineralizing potential of oral fluid in children with Down syndrome before and after the course of preventive measures. Material and methods. We examined oral fluid in children with Down syndrome. Children and adolescents at the age of 8 months to 17 years (n=21) were divided into groups depending on the age and the level of caries intensity. The results were compared with the data of 55 children without chromosomal pathology. Results. The group of children with Down syndrome (MG), during the initial examination includes type II – 11 people (53 %) and type III – 7 people (33 %) microcrystallization of saliva, which generally corresponds to the situation in the group of children without chromosomal pathology (CG), where type II included 62 % (34 people) and type III – 22 % (12 people). The average value of the mineralizing potential of saliva in the main group was 2.78±0.22, and in the control group – 2.89±0.17. Conclusions. After preventive measures during the re-examination of children with Down syndrome, there was a tendency to an increase in the level of parameters of the mineralizing potential of saliva while maintaining this level after 6 months.

Primary Retroperitoneal

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystic neoplasms are very rare, especially in men. To our knowledge, only 13 cases of such neoplasms have been reported in men to date. The most common type is the primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma, which almost invariably affects females. Most patients present with non-specific symptoms. In this case report, we will describe a case of a 53 year old male patient who presented with raised CEA tumour marker and vague right sided abdominal discomfort. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which revealed a 4.9 × 4.7 × 7.5 cm lobulated retroperitoneal cystic lesion abutting the posterior wall of the mid ascending colon. A laparoscopic excision was eventually performed with complete removal of the retroperitoneal cystic lesion. Subsequent histological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of a primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma with borderline malignancy. On comparison with a prior CT scan performed about seven and a half years earlier, we managed to derive a doubling rate of about 626 days, which is the first reported case in English literature to document the growth rate of such a tumour. The patient has since been discharged well, with no evidence of tumour recurrence on an interval CT scan.

Ovarian tumors are commonly seen in adults and rare in children. Incidence in children is about 2.6 cases per 1,00,000 girls. Most common ovarian mass in children is benign functional cyst. Epithelial tumors account for 8-10% of ovarian tumors. Most common epithelial tumor is Cystadenoma. Mucinous cystadenoma occurs in 3rd -6th decade of life. We report a 10-year-old Premenarchal girl presenting with abdominal distension and discomfort. On examination the entire abdomen was occupied by a firm mass. CT imaging showed a large multiloculated cystic lesion arising from the right ovary. The child underwent right salphingo-oophrectomy. The biopsy of mass was suggestive of benign mucinous cystadenoma. The child is on regular follow up. At 1 year follow up child is doing well.

Isolated hydatid cysts of the pancreas are rare lesions, even in endemic regions. In this report, we present the case of a 76-year-old patient who was admitted to our clinic with a diagnosis of a cystic lesion in the tail of the pancreas. On preoperative computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) examination, the cyst was characterized as a mucinous cystadenoma. A laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy followed. A histopathological examination revealed a large hydatid cyst in the tail of the pancreas.

Background: Epithelial tumors are the most common subgroup and are seen in 60-70% of all ovarian tumors. Serous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenoma are the most common benign epithelial tumors. Serous cystadenomas are ovarian tumors with the highest bilateral incidence. The coexistence of tumors with different histopathology in the ovaries is extremely rare and has only been reported in a few cases in the literature. We present a case of bilateral ovarian tumor that was diagnosed as serous and mucinous cystadenoma after laparoscopic surgery. Case report: A 45-year-old female patient was admitted to our center with swelling in the pelvic region and pain in the left lumbar region. US imaging showed a cystic lesion in the right adnexal area, 4x2cm in size, well-circumscribed, containing a few thin septa, and a low echo fluid content. A cystic lesion with 6x4cm sized multilocular, well-circumscribed, slightly high echo fluid content was observed in the left adnexal area. On CT, a complex cystic lesion measuring 6x4cm was observed in the left adnexal area, pushing the left ureter laterally and causing the hydroureter. In addition, a 4x2cm cystic lesion was observed in the right adnexal area and hydroureter was observed on the right side proximal to this lesion. Both lesions were removed by surgery. On histopathologic examination, the left-sided cystic lesion was diagnosed as mucinous cystadenoma, and the right-sided cystic lesion was diagnosed as serous cystadenoma. Conclusion: The coexistence of different ovarian tumor subtypes is rare. In this article, we presented a case in which serous and mucinous cystadenoma lesions were seen together for the fourth time in the literature, according to our knowledge.

Splenic Lymphangioma is a rare, benign, cystic lesion arising from malformations of splenic lymphatic channels. They are usually found in paediatric population and rarely in adults. Isolated lesions are asymptomatic and detected incidentally. However larger lesions present with abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite or a palpable mass. Surgical removal of spleen remains the treatment of choice. A 25-year-old, unmarried female presented 2 months history of pain epigastrium. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a well defined hypoechoic area in relation to the lower pole of spleen with normal splenic and portal vein. Computed tomography with contrast enhancement showed mild splenomegaly with multiple hypodense lesions with peripherally enhancing rim and decreased central attenuation with likely possibility of angiosarcoma of spleen.
