Hemangioma of the gallbladder is rare, with less than 10 cases reported in the literature. It may represent a hamartomatous proliferation of connective tissue in the gallbladder or may be congenital in origin. Although liver hemangiomas rarely present with spontaneous rupture, it has not been documented in gallbladder hemangiomas. This report presents a case of gallbladder hemangioma that ruptured spontaneously and presented with hemoperitoneum.
Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common cystic lesions of the pancreas, and often present as a consequence of acute or chronic pancreatitis. On the other hand, cystic neoplasms of the pancreas are rare, but pose a significant diagnostic challenge. The differentiation between these entities often relies on the clinical features and characteristic radiological evidence. However, the diagnostic dilemma persists, leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. We present a case of pancreatic pseudocyst in a 49-year-old male, which clinically and radiologically mimicked solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, a rare type of cystic neoplasm of the pancreas.
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.
