A decompressing abdominal mass and its outcome in a child-case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mesenteric cysts are benign tumours occurring in both adults as well as in children; can be single or multiple, unilocular or multilocular.

Importance

Pure chylous cysts as presenting as decompressing mass are rarely reported so far.

Case presentation

a 2year old male child presenting with vague fullness of the abdomen and occasional vomiting since 7months of age, on imaging studies revealed it to be giant mesenteric cyst.

Clinical discussion

Chylous cysts are rare variants of mesenteric cysts with an incidence of 7.3-9.9% in general population.

Conclusion

The clinician should have high index of suspicion for a possible chylous mesenteric cyst for a clinically decompressing abdominal cyst which should be explored promptly.

Case report: Ballotable abdominal mass in a child - Definitely renal in origin?

Project description:Introduction and importanceThe differential diagnosis of a paediatric abdominal mass can be extensive, as it potentially involves multiple organs including gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, and gynaecological systems. Hence, a systematic approach to history taking and physical examination is needed to clinch the diagnosis. Specifically, the approach for assessing, investigating, and managing a ballotable left hypochondrial mass in a child can be challenging.Case presentationWe report a 10-year-old Dusun girl presenting with left hypochondrial pain and noted a left hypochondrial mass on examination. This report highlights the role of clinical imaging during the pre-operative and post-operative phases.Clinical discussionUltrasound and CT imaging was useful in determining that the tumor originated from the tail of the pancreas. The presence of a definite capsule with internal solid-cystic components helped narrowed the differential diagnosis to solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas. MR liver was useful to rule out liver metastasis in this child.Intervention and outcomeThe patient was scheduled for laparotomy and tumour excision at a regional paediatric centre. Successful excision of the tumor en-mass was performed and the child's subsequent recovery was uneventful.ConclusionClinical imaging plays a critical role in the diagnosis and management of paediatric solid organ tumours. Other than renal origin, suspicion of pancreatic tail origin should be considered by clinicians when encountering a ballotable left abdominal mass.

Abdominal Wall Dyskinesia: Case Report.

Project description:The clinical presentation of repetitive choreiform involuntary movements of the anterior abdominal wall was first introduced as "belly dancer's dyskinesia." Etiologies of this rare condition include idiopathic causes, medication inducement, or post-abdominal surgery. We report a case of orobuccal stereotypic movements and abdominal wall dyskinesia secondary to prochlorperazine intake. The movements began 2 weeks after cessation of prochlorperazine. The patient took this dopamine receptor-blocking medication for 6 months to treat nausea due to chemotherapy. To our knowledge, abdominal wall dyskinesia as a tardive syndrome of prochlorperazine has not been previously reported.

Anorectal tuberculosis as a chronic rectal mass mimicking rectal prolapse in a child-a case report.

Project description:Tuberculosis of the colon commonly involves the ascending,transverse, or sigmoid colon while rectal involvement in tuberculosis is uncommon and poorly characterized. We report a six-year-old male from Nepal who presented with abdominal pain and difficulty passing stool for two years. On per rectal examination, palpation revealed a circumferential rectal mass. On further evaluation, CT scan showed mural thickening and luminal narrowing in the ano-rectum. Colonoscopy with biopsy showed caseating granuloma and positive acid fast bacilli culture consistent with tuberculosis. After starting anti-tubercular therapy, the patient's abdominal pain resolved and the patient was able to pass stool normally within two weeks. Colonoscopy three months after starting treatment showed complete resolution of the mass. Gastrointestinal tuberculosis should be considered in cases of children from endemic areas who present with a rectal mass.

Full-term extrauterine abdominal pregnancy: a case report.

Project description:IntroductionExtrauterine abdominal pregnancy is extremely rare and is frequently missed during antenatal care. This is a report of a full-term extrauterine abdominal pregnancy in a primigravida who likely had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy with secondary implantation and subsequently delivered a healthy baby.Case presentationA 23-year-old, Middle Eastern, primigravida presented at 14 weeks gestation with intermittent suprapubic pain and dysuria. An abdominal ultrasound examination showed a single viable fetus with free fluid in her abdomen. A follow-up examination at term showed a breech presentation and the possibility of a bicornute uterus with the fetus present in the left horn of her uterus. Our patient underwent Cesarean delivery under general anesthesia and was found to have a small intact uterus with the fetus lying in her abdomen and surrounded by an amniotic fluid-filled sac. The baby was extracted uneventfully, but the placenta was implanted in the left broad ligament and its removal resulted in massive intraoperative bleeding that necessitated blood and blood products transfusion and the administration of Factor VII to control the bleeding. Both the mother and newborn were discharged home in good condition.ConclusionsAn extrauterine abdominal pregnancy secondary to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy with secondary implantation could be missed during antenatal care and continue to term with good maternal and fetal outcome. An advanced extrauterine pregnancy should not result in the automatic termination of the pregnancy.

Case Report: Primary Leptomeningeal Medulloblastoma in a Child: Clinical Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Medulloblastoma is one of the most common pediatric central nervous system malignancies worldwide, and it is characterized by frequent leptomeningeal metastasizing. We report a rare case of primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma of an 11-year-old Caucasian girl with a long-term disease history, non-specific clinical course, and challenges in the diagnosis verification. To date, 4 cases of pediatric primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma are reported, and all of them are associated with unfavorable outcomes. The approaches of neuroimaging and diagnosis verification are analyzed in the article to provide opportunities for effective diagnosis of this disease in clinical practice. The reported clinical case of the primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma is characterized by MR images with non-specific changes in the brain and spinal cord and by 18FDG-PET/CT images with diffuse heterogeneous hyperfixation of the radiopharmaceutical along the whole spinal cord. The immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing analyses of tumor samples were performed for comprehensive characterization of the reported clinical case.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Abdominal compartment syndrome complicating necrotizing enterocolitis: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionThere are several disease entities subsumed under the heading Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).1The infectious enterocolitis that causes bowel necrosis.2Spontaneous Intestinal Perforation which is linked to the use of Indocin to hasten closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA); the perforation occurs in bowel that is well perfused and viable.3Perforations that occur in bowel that is obstructed by thick or inspissated meconium (Awolaran and Sheth, Sept 2021) [1].4The uncommon variant that is associated with the abdominal compartment syndrome.Case reportA case is presented in which a preemie suddenly developed massive abdominal distension. The neonatologist embarked upon the usual work-up and therapeutic interventions but was stymied by the inability to pass an orogastric tube to relieve the abdominal distension.DiscussionThe purpose of this report is not to criticize the neonatologist, but to emphasize the difference between this case, complicated by the abdominal compartment syndrome, and the usual case of NEC.ConclusionThis is an unusual manifestation of NEC; and in my experience, it is uniformly fatal. Like many diseases with a fulminant course, our therapeutic efforts seem always too little, too late.Perhaps, by calling attention to this unusual association, its dismal outcome may be altered.

Lumbar Spinal Tuberculosis Presenting as Abdominal Pain: Case Report.

Project description:More than 230 years after the characteristic clinical features of tuberculosis spondylitis were first described, this serious infection can still present diagnostic dilemmas in clinical practice. Atypical presentations of spinal tuberculosis mimicking malignancy have been described. We report a 50-year-old woman with abdominal pain as a presenting symptom of lumbar spinal tuberculosis. She presented with chronic intermittent abdominal pain of 6 months' duration, without low-grade fever and weight loss. There were no bowel/bladder complaints, vomiting, or worm infestation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine showed the L3, L4, and L5 vertebrae bodies had been destroyed and disease had invaded the lumbar spinal canal. There was a giant abscess in the right musculus psoas major. The C-reactive protein level was 130 g/L, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 165 mm/h. A diagnosis of lumbar spinal tuberculosis with abdominal pain was made. After 3 weeks of antituberculosis treatment, an operation was performed to debride the necrotic tissues and reconstruct the L3 vertebrae through an anterior approach combined with a posterior approach to establish the spine stability. On 6-month follow-up, the patient had recovered from the operation and had no focal neurologic deficit.
