Extremely rare presentation of an omphalomesenteric cyst in a 61-year-old patient.

ABSTRACT: The umbilicus is remaining scar tissue from the umbilical cord in the fetus. If the omphalomesenteric duct in the umbilicus is not properly closed, an ileal-umbilical fistula, sinus formation, cysts, or, most commonly, Meckel's diverticulum can develop. The others are very rare and mostly occur in the pediatric population. We describe herein a 61-year-old female with a giant omphalomesenteric cyst presented as an asymptomatic infraumbilical mass. To our knowledge, this is the oldest patient reported and the largest cyst described in the literature. The diagnosis of a painless abdominal mass frequently suggests malignancy in older patients. But, extremely rare conditions can be detected, such as an omphalomesenteric cyst.

Rare presentation of De Garengeot hernia in a 77-year-old woman.

Project description:A 77-year-old woman presented with a rare surgical phenomenon known as De Garengeot hernia. This unique presentation occurs due to the presence of a vermiform appendix in a femoral hernia sac. The patient presented with right-sided groin pain and a partially reducible hernia; she was otherwise haemodynamically stable and denied fevers, nausea and vomiting. The diagnosis was confirmed with CT which demonstrated a right-sided femoral hernia containing a perforated tip of the appendix. The patient urgently underwent an open appendectomy and open right femoral hernia repair using the modified McEvedy's incision.

Pedunculated and obstructive Wilms' tumor: A rare presentation in a 2 year-old male.

Project description:Wilms' tumor manifesting as an obstructing ureteral mass is extremely rare. Herein, we report an unusual case in which a child presented with a clinical picture concerning for and suggestive of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), but was instead found to have an intrapelvic pedunculated Wilms' tumor with extension into the proximal ureter. We discuss the patient's diagnostic workup, radiographic, operative and pathologic findings, as well as important lessons learned from this unusual case.

A Rare Presentation of Pancreatic Lymphoepithelial Cyst: A Case Report and Review.

Project description:Pancreatic lymphoepithelial cyst (LEC) is a rare, benign collection of keratinizing squamous epithelial cells encapsulated by lymphoid tissue. Because of its limited data and nonspecific features that can mimic malignant lesions, LECs can lead to unnecessary operations. A 62-year-old male with a known pancreatic mass presented with abdominal pain. CT scan showed an increased mass in the pancreatic head, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) revealed "rare fragments of benign-appearing squamous epithelium in a background of keratin debris, cyst contents, and scattered lymphocytes," consistent with a lymphoepithelial cyst. Pancreatic LEC is an extremely rare lesion that comprises of only 0.5% of all pancreatic cysts. EUS-FNA has become the mainstay for diagnosing pancreatic LECs. Given the slow growing and benign nature, conservative management and observation is adequate for pancreatic LECs with excellent long-term outcome. With increasing number of imaging ordered by clinicians, it is anticipated that there will be a greater number of incidental pancreatic LECs detected. Thus, EUS-FNA should be utilized more frequently to help distinguish benign pancreatic LECs from premalignant or malignant lesions to avoid surgery.

An Extremely Rare Presentation of Zimmermann–Laband Syndrome in a Twin.

Project description:Zimmermann–Laband syndrome is a rare condition which manifests as hereditary gingival tissue hypertrophy along with other clinical features. Till date, only few cases have been reported in the literature. This case report focuses on an extremely rare presentation of Zimmermann–Laband syndrome in a twin. There has not been a single case report of Zimmermann–Laband syndrome in twins.

Physical Activity in 6.5-Year-Old Children Born Extremely Preterm.

Project description:Physical activity (PA) can prevent cardiovascular diseases. Because of increased risks of impairments affecting motor activity, PA in children born preterm may differ from that in children born at term. In this prospective cohort study, we compared objectively measured PA in 71 children born extremely preterm (<27 weeks gestational age), to their 87 peers born at term, at 6.5 years of age. PA measured with accelerometer on the non-dominant wrist for 7 consecutive days was compared between index and control children and analyzed for associations to prenatal growth, major neonatal brain injury, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and neonatal septicemia, using ANOVA. Boys born extremely preterm spent on average 22 min less time per day in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than control boys (95% CI: -8, -37). There was no difference in girls. Amongst children born extremely preterm, major neonatal brain injury was associated with 56 min less time in MVPA per day (95%CI: -88, -26). Subgroups of children born extremely preterm exhibit lower levels of physical activity which may be a contributory factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases as adults.

A rare presentation of peripheral edema and ascites in a 10-year-old child with brucellosis: A case report.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Brucellosis is a common infection in Mediterranean region that manifests with various symptoms. Brucellosis should be considered as a possible cause of recurrent fever even if the symptoms are not suggestive of brucellosis.Case presentationWe report a case of 10-year-old child with no significant past medical history who presented with a 4-day period peripheral edema and ascites without fever, arthralgia or abdominal pain.Clinical discussionProper investigations showed normal cardiac and renal functions; ultrasonography showed no portal vein hypertension. Albumin and total protein were also within normal. Complete blood count revealed pancytopenia; bone marrow aspiration and biopsy revealed hypercellularity that could be attributed to hypersplenism as a possible cause. Liver biopsy revealed non-specific inflammatory findings and also did not lead to a definite diagnosis. While broadening the scope of deferential diagnosis in order to reach a final diagnosis, Wright serum agglutination was tested positive (1/640) and we diagnosed a brucellosis infection. A proper management with Antibiotics ensued; the patient had uneventful recovery on treatment until complete clinical and imaging resolution of signs and symptoms.ConclusionAlthough brucellosis is considered a multi-systemic disease with atypical presentations, early diagnosis of brucellosis with management causes rapid recovery and favorable prognosis. We report a case of ascites and edema in context of Brucella infection which was completely resolved after treatment. This condition is rare especially in previously healthy child and after excluding other possible causes. We aim to share our case to keep brucellosis in mind as a differential diagnosis when dealing with infectious diseases with non-specific symptoms.

Primary Giant Cerebral Hydatid Cyst in an 8-year-old Girl.

Project description:Echinococcosis, also called hydatid disease, is a parasitic disease that passes from animals to humans. Literature reports suggest very rare cases of cerebral hydatid cysts. Brain involvement with hydatid disease occurs in 1%-2% of all Echinococcus infections. In this report, we aim to emphasize the presentation of such an isolated primary cerebral hydatid cyst, discuss its radiological features, Emergency department management, inpatient medical management, referral to neurosurgery, consequent operative procedures, postoperative care, and outcome.
