The rupture of an intra-abdominal testicular neoplasm is a rare cause of acute abdomen and massive intra-abdominal haemorrhage. We report the case of a 70-year-old male presenting a massive intra-abdominal bleeding caused by a Leydig cell tumour in an undescended testis. The clinical details and pathology of this rare testicular tumour are discussed.

Extra-abdominal desmoid tumour is a rare tumour and only a few cases occurring in the limbs have been reported. A 35-year-old woman presented with gradually increasing swelling in the upper leg. She had a mild, dull, aching pain in the tumour. Wide local excision was done and the tumour was found mainly in the subcutaneous tissue, which histopathologically proved to be an extra-abdominal desmoi...

Seminomas in undescended testes may present as abdominal wall tumours. A unilateral testis tumour in a 29 year old man with ipsilateral undescended testis is presented and relevant literature is reviewed. A 29 year old man presenting with a tender left lower abdominal mass was admitted to our clinic and initial diagnostic tests followed by abdominal computerized tomography (CT) and positron emi...

Abdominal lump in a child is common and worrisome clinical presentation which necessitates many radiological hematological investigations for diagnosis. Though differential diagnoses are many, detailed history taking thorough examination can help diagnosing the organ involved before doing investigations. We presenting case of Stage 2 Wilms tumour 5 year old presented with abdominal pallor.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Intraperitoneal free cancer cells are associated with a higher risk of recurrence and a poorer prognosis in colorectal surgery. Tumour recurrence may occur early after surgery. One potential mechanism is the ability of peritoneal lesions to attract tumour cells. METHODS In Wag-Rija rats, the parietal peritoneum was resected on a defined area, a corresponding control area was m...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Peritoneal trauma activates a cascade of peritoneal defence mechanisms responsible for postoperative intra-abdominal tumour recurrence. After peritoneal trauma, inflammatory cells and soluble factors are present in the abdominal cavity and can be captured in lavage fluids. The present study evaluated which component enhances intra-abdominal tumour recurrence. Furthermore, we eva...

Rhabdomyosarcoma encompasses a group of malignant myogenic neoplasms expressing a multitude of clinical and pathological diversities. It is the commonest soft tissue sarcoma of childhood but neonates are rarely affected. Embryonal subtype is the most frequent. Head-neck and genitourinary tracts are predominant sites, while trunk is considered among the unusual sites of rhabdomyosarcoma. Herein ...

Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is an important physical sign. It usually represents umbilical metastasis of intra abdominal malignancy. Its association with intra abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumour is extremely rare. We describe a rare case of sister Mary Joseph's nodule associated with desmoplastic small round cell tumour. We conclude that differential diagnosis of Sister Mary Joseph'...
