A Giant Abdominal Cyst in an Adolescent

We presented images of MRI and intra-operative findings about an interesting case included in differential diagnoses of giant abdominal cysts in pediatric age.

Pediatric Patient with Omental Cyst: A Rare Case (CT scan is not Enough to Differentiate from Other Abdominal Cysts)

Background. Omental cysts are rare intra-abdominal tumors in children. It is challenging to diagnose since other big abdominal cysts are difficult to distinguish from in clinical and CT imaging. Aim. This case report aims to accurately and thoroughly determine the diagnosis based on the anamnesis, clinical and imaging examinations to choose the best treatment for the patient. Case Report. A 4-year-old girl reported having an enlarged belly in the past two months; the anamnesis provided the diagnosis. A mobile, 15 cm by 15 cm mass with dull percussion was discovered during clinical investigations in the top border. It was determined by anamnesis, physical examination, and imaging that the diagnosis was an ovarian cyst. Instead of an ovarian cyst, we found an omental cyst during the operation, thus we had to conduct an excision and omentectomy and postoperatively achieved favorable results. She was discharged three day after. Discussion. An abdominal CT scan showed an ovarian cyst. In laparotomy, we found a giant omental cyst, not originating from the ovaries, and did an omentectomy to excision the cyst. CT scan shows that the giant abdominal cyst is difficult to distinguish between omental, mesenteric, and ovarian cysts. Precise identification of stomach cysts is necessary. Also, doctors need to read the CT scan image more carefully. Conclusion. Giant omentum cysts are difficult to distinguish clinically and imaging from ovarian and mesenteric cysts. There is a need for a more detailed history, physical examination, and support, as well as a more thorough reading of the CT scan.

Congenital urethrovaginal fistula associated with imperforate hymen causing fetal urinary ascites and abdominal cystic lesions: A case report and literature review

Abstract A primipara presented to our hospital due to fetal ascites, bilateral hydronephrosis and hydrometrocolpos. The female baby had two giant abdominal cysts, a single atrium and foot polydactyly. Absence of the vaginal orifice was noticed, and the hymen was broken through; the left cyst collapsed after fluid drainage. The right cyst was punctured and drained, which improved the hydronephrosis. Contrast imaging showed medium pouring into the abdominal cavity via the uterine tube; the right cyst was a 6 × 5 cm closed cavity. Vaginal uroplania persisted even after hospital discharge. At the age of 4 years, cystoscopy showed a fistulous opening on the urethra 5 mm distal from the internal urethral orifice. A catheter inserted via the opening was found in the vagina. In our case, urine poured into the abdominal cavity through the fistula and uterine tube; following obstruction of the uterine tube, giant hydrometrocolpos and hydrosalpinx appeared. Three cases of congenital urethrovaginal fistula (CUVF) with imperforate hymen have been reported. A remnant of communication between the uterovaginal primordium and urogenital sinus may be responsible for CUVF.

Mesothelioma as a rapidly developing Giant Abdominal Cyst

The benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum is a rare lesion and is known for local recurrence. This is first case report of a rapidly developing massive abdominal tumor with histological finding of benign cystic mesothelioma (BCM). We describe a BCM arising in the retroperitoneal tis[sue on the right side, lifting ascending colon and cecum to the left side of abdomen. Patient was an active 58-year-old man who noticed a rapid abdominal swelling within a two month time period with a weight gain of 40 pounds. Patient had no risk factors including occupational (asbestos, cadmium), family history, social (alcohol, smoking) or history of trauma. We will discuss the clinical, radiologic, intra-operative, immunohistochemical, pathologic findings, and imaging six months after surgery. Patient has no recurrence and no weight gain on follow up visits and imaging.
