Roentgenographic Examination

A city-wide study of intussusception in childhood is reported. The classic signs and symptoms (vomiting, abdominal pain, bloody stools, palpable abdominal mass) are reported in percentages approximating those previously reported by other authors. Intussusception in childhood occurred about once in every 13,000 admissions to general hospitals. Of 26 cases, 3 had surgery without barium enema. In 11 of 23 patients who had roentgenographic examination the intussusception was reduced by enemas (48%). In one patient the lesion recurred after 24 hours. No deaths were encountered in this small series. Provided certain precautions are followed, barium enema is a safe procedure which will save about one-half of the patients a surgical procedure and unnecessary prolonged hospitalization.

Palpable Abdominal Mass

Desmoid tumors are rare, musculoaponeurotic mesenchymal origin tumors arising from the proliferation of well-differentiated fibroblasts. Desmoid tumors may arise from any location with the abdominal cavity, abdominal wall and extremity locations being most frequent. We present the case of a 35-year-old female with a history of endometriosis who presented palpable abdominal mass and cyclic abdominal pain. Resection was performed for a presumed desmoid soft tissue tumor. Final pathology demonstrated desmoid histology admixed with abdominal wall endometriosis (endometrioma). This unique pathologic finding has only been rarely reported and is discussed with a brief review of the literature.

Introduction. Trichobezoars are foreign bodies in gastrointestinal tract, composed of hair. They occur mainly in children and adolescents suffering from trichotillophagia. They commonly occur in the stomach, but as they enlarge over time, they can extend through the pylorus into distal parts of the small intestine resembling a tail. This rare form of trichobezoar is named Rapunzel syndrome. Case report. We presented a 19-year-old female patient, who suffered from trichotillomania and trichotillophagia, which led to trichobezoar formation. Intra-abdominal tumour was suspected after initial clinical examination. Abdominal echosonography, endoscopy and abdominal computed tomography (CT scan) in the pre-operational period revealed trichobezoar formation. The patient was operated on and subjected to further psychiatric treatment. Conclusion. Trichobezoar should be differentially diagnostically taken into consideration in younger women with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, palpable abdominal mass and psychiatric disorders. Most trichobezoar cases require surgical treatment, whereas the patients need long-term psychiatric treatment and monitoring.

We described two cases of infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma: one with a solitary lesion and the other with multicentric lesions. Clinical presentation was with no liver symptoms in case 1, and hepatomegaly, failure to thrive, and palpable abdominal mass in case 2. Diagnostic imaging revealed single tumor formation in case 1 and multiple nodules in the liver in case 2. Dilemmas related to nature of the tumor were solved by microscopic analysis. The patient with the clinical appearance of a single lesion was successfully operated. The patient with multiple lesions in the liver tissue showed complete involution after corticotherapy.
