A calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a benign fibroblastic tumor of soft tissues occurring at all ages with no gender predilection. Earlier, it was called a pseudotumor. It may or may not present with symptoms. It can occur anywhere in the body - the most common sites are the stomach, pleura, and intestines. Our study is presented as a case of Intussusception in a young male with symptoms of pain, abdomen, and nausea. The patient underwent an excision of the tumor, and the tumor was examined histo-pathologically and immunohistochemically, showing spindle-shaped cells in dense collagenous tissue with mild inflammation. In this case, a study we are explaining the Clinical and morphological features of the CFT and how to differentiate it from other mesenchymal tumors.
Choledochal cyst is a congenital disease of the biliary tract with extrahepatic and/or intrahepatic biliary tree dilatation. There is a female majority (4:1). Controlling biliary sepsis and curing pancreatitis are prerequisites of surgery. Here, a 35-year-old female patient, came with complaints of epigastric and right upper abdominal pain for three days. On examination per abdomen was soft, non distended, right hypochondriac tenderness was present, no guarding, bowel sounds were audible. Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was done which showed fusiform dilatation of Common Bile Duct (CBD), Common Hepatic Duct (CHD), right and left hepatic duct, along with mild dilatation of central intrahepatic biliary radicals (4.8-5 mm)- suggestive of choledochal cyst type IVA. Hepatico-duodenostomy was done. The entire extrahepatic biliary tree should be removed when the choledochal cyst is diagnosed whether or not symptoms are present. Despite being congenital, the condition is typically discovered in adulthood as well. The treatment of choledochal cysts has evolved. The current standard of care is cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy
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.
