We describe a case of a solid variant of serous cystadenoma of the pancreas. The preoperative examination results led to a diagnosis of a nonfunctional pancreatic islet cell tumour, and the patient underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. The tumour was diagnosed as a solid variant of serous cystadenoma by histopathological examination. Solid variant of serous cystadenoma of the ...

Cystadenoma, which accounts for 40-50% of all ovarian new growths, is a tumour of adult life, and uncommon in patients under 20 years of age. We have seen two cases, a girl (E.G.) of 13 with a rightsided, thin-walled, unilocular cystadenoma measuring 17 x 13 x 10 cm., and a 12-year-old child (M.O.) with a small, left-sided, multilocular cystadenoma; neither of these two girls had menstruated.

TREATMENT Right hemicolectomy. OUTCOME The histology of the appendicular tumour was mucinous cystadenoma. The patient rec...

UNLABELLED Mucinous cystadenomas are relatively uncommon benign cystic tumors. Most of them are found in the ovary, pancreas, and appendix. Primary mucinous cystadenoma of spleen is extremely rare and only countable cases have been recorded. These are assumed to arise from heterotopic pancreatic tissue or invaginated spleenic capsular mesothelium. We present a rare case of primary mucinous cyst...

Mature cystic teratomas of the ovary frequently contain intestinal type epithelium, but they are rarely associated with complete intestinal wall. The association of mature cystic teratoma with mucinous cystadenoma is not unusual. However, the pathogenetic relationship between these two lesions remains unanswered. We report a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary in a 16-yr old female that contain...

Human hepatobiliary cystadenoma is a rare benign cystic tumor of the liver, and is extremely rare in the caudate lobe. We herein present a case of a 70-year-old male with a hepatobiliary cystadenoma originating from the caudate lobe.

cystadenoma is a rare benign salivary gland tumor that chiefly originates in the minor salivary glands as a cystic growth with papillary projections into the cystic lumen without the lymphoid element. it is further classified into two histopathological variants that have been recognized by world health organization as the papillary and the mucinous forms of cystadenoma. clinically, it is diffic...

A 65-year-old female presenting with hepatobiliary cystadenoma (HC) comprised of multiple cysts in the liver and a non-specific epigastric pain is reported herein.  Ultrasound study demonstrated dilated common bile duct (CBD) and intrahepatic bile ducts, plus two spherical stone-like bodies filling defects in the proximal CBD. Sphincterotomy and basket performed for the patient were not success...

while ovarian masses are common findings in gynecology, unusually huge masses are quite rare. however, such cases can still be found today. mismanagement of common complaints in patients can be a leading cause of facing such findings. herein, we introduce a case of a giant ovarian cyst, which was mismanaged in a young virgin female patient. the patient had received gastrointestinal medications ...

BACKGROUND Biliary cystadenoma is a rare benign neoplasm, which is often misdiagnosed for a hepatic abscess or a hydatid cyst that tends to recur and is at risk for progression to malignant neoplasm. CASE PRESENTATION This case describes a 30-year-old woman admitted to our institution in an emergency setting. The patient was originally misdiagnosed as affected by a hepatic hydatid cyst at ano...
