Benign cystic ovarian teratoma is the most common ovarian neoplasm accounting for 10–25 % of ovarian tumors. Complications of cystic teratomas include torsion (16 %), malignant degeneration (2 %), infection (1 %), and rupture (1 %). It can rupture into the bladder, small bowel, rectum, sigmoid colon, vagina, abdominal wall, and peritoneal cavity. We report a case of ovarian dermoid perforating ...

BACKGROUND Colonic neoplasm is associated with western diet intake and physical inactivity. These life styles are also risk factors for dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dyslipidemia and the prevalence of colon polyps including colon adenoma as a precancerous lesion of colonic neoplasms. METHODS We selected subjects undergoing a...

hospital with a history of hematochezia. He had no previous history of abdominal complaints or of abdominal surgery. Physical examination and laboratory parameters showed no abnormalities. Co− lonoscopy revealed diverticulosis in the sigmoid colon, and a 2−cm−diameter, hard mass within multiple diverticula. The mass was surrounded by normal mu− cosa, mimicking a submucosal tumor, and an apparen...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence of synchronous appendiceal neoplasm in patients with colorectal cancer, and to determine its clinical significance. METHODS Pathological reports and medical records were reviewed of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma who underwent oncological resection of the tumor together with appendectomy at the Faculty of Medicine Sirir...

Myxoma is rare in the upper leg. The current study presents the case of a large tumor in the right upper leg. The tumor extended to pelvic cavity and was found to be connected with a cystic and solid neoplasm that was adjacent to the ascending colon in the right lower quadrant. The large tumor of the upper leg had existed for 15 years and had ulcerated through the skin 4 days prior to admittanc...

BACKGROUND Despite the growing acceptance of laparoscopic colon surgery, an abdominal incision is needed to remove the specimen and perform an anastomosis. Recently, natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) and intracorporeal anastomosis have been proposed to minimize abdominal wall trauma and improve the quality of laparoscopic colon resections Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safe...
