Laparoscopic deroofing for a giant hepatic cyst with biliary communication: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Previous reports describing laparoscopic deroofing as a management modality for a hepatic cyst with biliary communication remain limited. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who was monitored for 4 years for a giant hepatic cyst in the right lobe of the liver. She presented to our department with a chief complaint of abdominal distension. Moreover, imaging revealed a 24-cm giant hepatic cyst. During laparoscopic deroofing, minimal bile leakage from the intra-cyst wall was observed, which was laparoscopically closed with sutures. No bile leakage or cyst recurrence was observed 18 months postoperative. This highlights that laparoscopic surgery may be used in managing hepatic cysts with biliary communication. Intraoperative findings may reveal biliary communication, which requires careful observation of the cyst wall after deroofing.

Case report: a giant arachnoid cyst masking Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:BackgroundIntracranial arachnoid cysts are usually benign congenital findings of neuroimaging modalities, sometimes however, leading to focal neurological and psychiatric comorbidities. Whether primarily clinically silent cysts may become causally involved in cognitive decline in old age is neither well examined nor understood.Case presentationA 66-year old caucasian man presenting with a giant left-hemispheric frontotemporal cyst without progression of size, presented with slowly progressive cognitive decline. Neuropsychological assessment revealed an amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) without further neurological or psychiatric symptoms. The patient showed mild medio-temporal lobe atrophy on structural MRI. Diffusion tensor and functional magnetic resonance imaging depicted a rather sustained function of the strongly suppressed left hemisphere. Amyloid-PET imaging was positive for increased amyloid burden and he was homozygous for the APOEε3-gene. A diagnosis of MCI due to Alzheimer's disease was given and a co-morbidity with a silent arachnoid cyst was assumed. To investigate, if a potentially reduced CSF flow due to the giant arachnoid cyst contributed to the early manifestation of AD, we reviewed 15 case series of subjects with frontotemporal arachnoid cysts and cognitive decline. However, no increased manifestation of neurodegenerative disorders was reported.ConclusionsWith this case report, we illustrate the necessity of a systematic work-up for neurodegenerative disorders in patients with arachnoid cysts and emerging cognitive decline. We finally propose a modus operandi for the stratification and management of patients with arachnoid cysts potentially susceptive for cognitive dysfunction.

Laparoscopic repositioning of an aberrant right hepatic artery and hepaticojejunostomy for pediatric choledochal cyst: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionThe right hepatic artery crossing the ventral side of the common hepatic duct is a relatively frequent abnormality. This aberrant right hepatic artery not only interferes with dissection of the common bile duct and hepaticojejunostomy for choledochal cyst but can also cause postoperative anastomotic stenosis.Case presentationA 14-year-old patient presented with upper abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a choledochal cyst (Type IVA in Todani Classification) and pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography showed aberrant right hepatic artery located at the ventral side of the common hepatic duct. Laparoscopic choledochal cyst resection and hepaticojejunostomy were planned. Intraoperative findings also showed the aberrant right hepatic artery crossing the common hepatic duct ventrally as detected on preoperative computed tomography. Laparoscopic dorsal side repositioning of the aberrant right hepatic artery was performed because it appeared to compress the common hepatic duct and risked causing postoperative anastomotic stenosis. We performed laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy by replacing the aberrant right hepatic artery dorsally to facilitate suturing and prevent postoperative anastomotic stenosis. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no findings suggestive of anastomotic stenosis.DiscussionThe abnormality of the right hepatic artery is reported to be a primary cause of anastomotic stenosis after hepaticojejunostomy. Once anastomotic stenosis or stricture develops, it is often difficult to treat. The prevention of the stenosis is important.ConclusionsIn choledochal cyst with aberrant right hepatic artery, dorsal repositioning is effective for preventing postoperative anastomotic stenosis and cholestasis.

Microwave ablation of hepatic cyst: A case report.

Project description:Hepatic cystadenoma is an urgent problem due to the high risk of malignant transformation. There are both radical and minimally invasive methods of treatment. We present a clinical case describing the successful use of microwave ablation (MWA) in a 72-year-old woman with hepatic cystadenoma. The patient was admitted to the clinic with abdominal discomfort, dull pain in the right hypochondrium, and weight loss of 10 kg during the previous year. The patient had a past medical history of liver cyst in segment VII. Ultrasound scanning, computed tomography (CT) of abdominal organs detected an increase in the size of the cyst, heterogeneity of its structure; the contrast enhancement was noted in the cyst wall. We suspected hepatic cystadenoma in segment VII and performed cyst puncture under ultrasound control - the obtained fluid revealed the presence of cylindrical epithelial cells, mucin, and macrophages in large quantities, high telomerase activity, CA 19-9 levels were greater than 1000 U/mL. Surgery was accomplished using the MWA catheter. Biological and cytological examination of the fluid confirmed the presence of signs of liver cystadenoma with a high malignancy risk. On the 2nd day after surgery ultrasound imaging of the abdomen revealed the residual cavity of 2 × 1 cm in segment VII. The patient was discharged with recommendations to conduct ultrasound examinations every six months. The control CT scan in 2020 showed no focal or cystic formations in the liver. In what way, MWA under control of ultrasound is a promising method of biliary cystadenoma treatment with high malignancy risk.

Surgical resection of a giant pericardial cyst: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPericardial cysts are rare congenital mediastinal cysts. They are typically asymptomatic and are often discovered incidentally, although some patients may present with chest pain and dyspnoea. Asymptomatic patients are managed conservatively with multiple modalities, with surgical resection often recommended for symptomatic patients only. The frequency of follow-up imaging has yet to be established.Case summaryWe report a case of a 59-year-old female with a gradually increasing pericardial cyst, first noted 10 years prior as an abnormal cardiac silhouette on routine chest radiography. Further evaluation confirmed the presence of a pericardial cyst compressing the left ventricle with new-onset atrial fibrillation. The patient underwent successful thoracoscopic excision of the pericardial cyst under general anaesthesia. The patient's post-operative course was uneventful, and she was ultimately discharged in stable condition.DiscussionPericardial cysts are typically benign, but complications may arise in the case of compression of adjacent cardiac structures, inflammation, haemorrhage, or rupture of the cyst. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the better modality for both diagnosis and follow-up of pericardial cysts. This case illustrates the need for long-term clinical follow-up in order to optimize the time for treatment.

First case report of ruptured giant expanding breast oil cyst.

Project description:BackgroundFat necrosis is a common sequelae of breast trauma. Its many presentations have been described in the literature. Oil cyst is one of the less common presentations of fat necrosis. Giant oil cyst is rare and may take many years to mature in an unstable environment of the women's breast. To our best knowledge, rupture of a giant oil cyst has never been reported. Yet, it should be included on the list of differential diagnoses along with hematoma, infection, or neoplasm. When a patient presents with an expanding breast lump, clinicians should be aware of the potential for oil cyst rupture and its features.Case descriptionA 51-year-old woman presented to a breast clinic with concern of an expanding painless left breast lump for the last 4 months. The lump first appeared 12 years ago shortly after a car accident and was stable for many years. The initial left breast ultrasound was inconclusive, but diagnostic mammogram revealed a giant ruptured calcified oil cyst. Due to the availability of prior diagnostic images, we were able to retrospectively follow the unique sequelae of fat necrosis from the development of giant oil cyst shortly after the breast trauma and up to the final outcome of ruptured calcified oil cyst.ConclusionsTrauma to a woman's breast can lead to the formation of a large oil cyst which can remain present for years, peripherally calcify, and is susceptible to rupture. Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication when presented with the case of expanding breast lump. Diagnostic mammogram is a study of choice and demonstrates benign pathognomonic features of an oil cyst.

Staged management of a giant cardiac hydatid cyst: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundWe report on a 21-year-old patient with a giant symptomatic hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum, to whom a staged management approach was employed. Induction medical therapy led to a reduction in the size of the cyst, which was then completely removed via surgical excision.Case presentationA 21-year-old male Caucasian, with main complaints of fatigue and palpitations, was referred to our Centre due to a cystic formation in his left ventricle. The workup consisted of transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance, which revealed a huge hydatid cyst in an active stage of disease, occupying the basal and mid part of the interventricular septum. Due to the size of the lesion and lack of viable myocardium in the affected area, the patient was declared inoperable and medical therapy was initiated. Serial echocardiography revealed a significant reduction in the size of the lesion and degradation to transitional and inactive stage, after which successful surgical excision of the cyst was performed. In the course of the medical treatment, the patient experienced sustained ventricular tachycardia causing loss of consciousness, which did not reoccur after surgical excision.ConclusionMedical therapy can result in the degradation of a giant heart hydatid cyst, enabling surgical excision. Heart hydatid cyst can lead to potentially lethal arrhythmia irrespective of its size and stage, which does not reoccur after successful surgical excision.
