In order to reach cytoreduction in advanced ovarian cancer, peritonectomy and diaphragmatic stripping are procedures required to remove the disease in the upper abdomen. Diaphragm involvement is estimated in up to 40% of cases. Nevertheless, in some of these patients, the tumour volume may constitute a limitation of the technique due to the association with abdominal wall involvement, bulky tum...

We report a case of intra abdominal paraganglioma in a 46-year-old male, that measured 12.5 x 10 x 10 cm and weighed 340 grams. A CT scan was done for the evaluation of an abdominal mass. The tumour was surgically removed and followed by an uneventful post operative recovery. On follow up at one year patient had no active complaints. Histologically paraganglioma was composed of tumour cells tha...

A 31-year-old man reported a 3-month history of right upper abdominal pain and effort dyspnoea. The laboratory data demonstrated no abnormality. On abdominal ultrasound, a gross solid lesion with smooth borders was seen behind the liver. CT scan revealed a huge tumour, 23×17×15 cm in size, it was in the right posterior mediastinum and extended to the right retroperitoneum. In sagittal plane CT ...

A 3D system of springs and dashpots is presented to model the motion of a lung tumour during respiration. The main guiding factor in configuring the system is the spatial relationship between abdominal and lung tumour motion. A coupled, non-dimensional triple of ordinary differential equations models the tumour motion when driven by a 3D breathing signal. Asymptotic analysis is used to reduce t...

Primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) is a rare tumour mainly found in children under ten years old. It may be broadly categorised into those occurring from the central or peripheral nervous system of which the majority arise centrally. We report a 61 year-old lady who had previous lobular breast cancer presenting with a rapidly expanding lesion in her anterior right upper abdominal wall. Cli...

Computer-aided liver tumour detection can comfort the radiologists to detect the liver tumours from the abdominal CT image. This research proposes a software solution to illustrate the automated liver segmentation and tumour detection using artificial intelligent techniques. Evaluate the results of the liver segmentation and tumour detection, in-cooperation with the radiologists by using the pr...

INTRODUCTION Extrauterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (EESS) is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumour that simulates other pathologies, and therefore poses a diagnostic challenge. This report outlines a case of EESS arising from the greater omentum mimicking a colonic tumour, with review of literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 47-year-old woman, with history of hysterectomy for menorrhagia and h...

BACKGROUND Desmoid tumours are one of the rarest tumours worldwide, with an estimated yearly incidence of 2-4 new cases per million people. They are soft tissue monoclonal neoplasms that originate from mesenchymal stem cells. It seems that the hormonal and immunological changes occurring during pregnancy may play a role in the severity and course of the disease. CLINICAL CASE The case is pres...

The commonest malignant ovarian tumour in the adolescent group is yolk sac tumour. It commonly encountered adolescents and young women. Incidence 1% of all tumours. We reported a case 9-year-old girl who presented with intermittent lower abdominal pain, not settling medical management. Abdominal ultrasonogram showed left adnexal echogenic mass measuring 5×6 cm cystic spaces internal vascularity...
