Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors. Most are diagnosed in childhood and
their presentation in adults is rare. Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangiomas
constitute only 1% of lymphangiomas. Unfortunately the differentiation
between cystic lymphangiomas and other cystic tumors is often not possible and
surgery with histology is essential for confirmation of diagnosis. A 20-year-old
lady with retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma presented with acute abdomen. In
the diagnosis of this patient, abdominal Ultrasound, CT and MRI scans were
obtained.
IntroductionChanneling transurethral resection of the prostate is a recognized form of adjunctive treatment in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Despite the fact that complications arising from the procedure have been on the decline, rare complications like intestinal obstruction may occur.Case presentationThis is a case report of a 56 year old man who developed mechanical intestinal obstruction few days after a channeling TURP for advanced CaP.ConclusionThe report highlights the possibility of intestinal obstruction as a secondary event following a silent urinary bladder perforation during channeling TURP. Early recognition and intervention were responsible for the good outcome in this patient.
Key Clinical MessageGiant Adrenal cysts are rare differentials of retroperitoneal cysts that often present dilemma in diagnosis. A man presented with a huge retroperitoneal cyst and an uncertain preoperative diagnosis. Initial working diagnosis of urinoma and an attempt at drainage had to be abandoned for complete excision before obtaining a histological diagnosis.
Lipoma is rare in the planter aspect of the toes, and only few cases of massive lipoma have been reported in this site. The differential diagnosis of masses in the foot and toes is wide, and clinical diagnosis may be challenging. Access to magnetic resonance imaging, a standard diagnostic investigation for such soft tissue masses of the foot and toes, may be limited in some practice, requiring a reliance on clinical signs. We report a solitary massive lipoma in the planter aspect of the right great toe that appeared as two masses and with modification of typical clinical signs of lipoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
