Paratubal cysts (PTCs) are generally incidentally detected in pregnancy. However, paratubal cystadenomas in pregnant women are very rare cases who are reported individually. An unusually giant case of paratubal cystadenoma in a pregnant woman is presented here. A 27-year-old woman presented to our department for a routine pregnancy checkup. A giant cystic mass accompanying a 17-week gestation w...

We recently experienced a 43-year-old man with a large, multiloculated, cystic tumor that appeared on the pelvis. The tumor was composed of glands and cysts lined by prostatic-type epithelium and attached microscopically to the prostate by a pedicle. The prostatic nature of the lesions was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining of epithelium for prostate specific antigen (PSA). Our review of...

An 80-year-old female presented with one month history of acutely worsening abdominal distention and pain, without features of bowel obstruction. A giant intra-abdominal simple cyst, separate from the ovaries, was seen on imaging. Initial haematological and biochemical investigations, including tumour markers, were normal. At laparotomy, the cystic tumour was discovered to arise from the sigmoi...

Mucocele of the appendix is an uncommon disorder, characterized by a cystic dilatation of the lumen; it's mainly due to mucinous cystadenoma. Definite diagnosis is difficult preoperatively. It can be discovered incidentally at laparotomy or laparoscopy performed for other reason. Treatment consist in complete resection avoiding rupture of the cyst in the peritoneal cavity. Indeed, rupture of th...

A 22-year-old patient with 9 months of amenorrhea and a huge abdominal swelling was admitted to our institution with an ultrasonography report of a multiloculated cystic space-occupying lesion, almost taking up the whole abdomen (probably of ovarian origin), along with a single live intrauterine fetus. She delivered vaginally a boy baby within 4 hours of admission without any maternal complicat...
