Multiple Isolated Enteric Duplication Cysts in an Infant - A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Completely isolated enteric duplication cysts are a rare variety of enteric duplication cysts having an independent blood supply with no communication with any part of the adjacent bowel segment. We report a case showing two completely isolated enteric duplication cysts originating in the greater omentum and transverse mesocolon in an infant. Multiple isolated enteric duplication cysts involving non-contiguous bowel segments have not been previously reported in the literature.

Malignant nerve sheath tumour of omentum and the "omental vascular pedicle sign".

Primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) is an uncommon malignant tumour that arises from the peripheral nerves. Most of these tumours arise in the regions of the trunk, head and neck, or extremities and are rarely seen in the abdomen. In this report, we describe a case of MPNST of the greater omentum, which, to the best of our knowledge, is only the second case reported in the literature.

Recurrent sigmoid volvulus associated with eventration of diaphragm in a twenty-six-year-old man.

Recurrent sigmoid volvulus is a clinical entity characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete sigmoid volvulus. Although it is commonly seen in the elderly, it can be occasionally seen in younger patients. Patients with recurrent partial sigmoid volvulus are relatively asymptomatic or present with mild abdominal pain.

Mesenteric cysts associated with recurrent small-bowel volvulus: cause or effect?

Recurrent small-bowel volvulus is a state of recurrent intermittent or long-standing persistent twisting of small-bowel loops around its mesentery. The association of mesenteric cysts with recurrent small-bowel volvulus as the cause or effect is a much debated issue in the literature. We report two cases of mesenteric lymphangioma and one case of enteric duplication cyst seen in association with recurrent small-bowel volvulus of long duration in absence of malrotation.

Emphysematous hepatitis--a fatal infection in diabetic patients: case report.

Emphysematous hepatitis is a rare fatal rapidly progressive fulminant infection of hepatic parenchyma seen in the setting of diabetes characterised by replacement of hepatic parenchyma with gas collection. There is paucity of literature with regard to pathogenesis, implicated organisms, imaging appearance and management of this condition. We report a case with extensive segmental replacement of liver parenchyma with gas.
