Peritoneal hydatidosis.

Secondary peritoneal hydatidosis is caused by spontaneous or iatrogenic rupture of hepatic echinococcal cysts. We describe the case of a 65-year-old Tunisian male patient with previous history of liver hydatidosis who presented to our attention with subocclusive status. Imaging revealed a retrovesical hydatid cyst, adherent to the sigmoid colon.

Open partial splenectomy for trauma using GIA-Stapler and FloSeal matrix haemostatic agent.

A ruptured spleen caused by blunt abdominal injury is often treated by splenectomy. In view of the gravity of the 'postsplenectomy syndrome,' a conservative approach has been increasingly used. We present the case of a 29-year-old man with a Grade III splenic lesion for a blunt abdominal trauma after a car accident.

A case of leiomyoadenomatoid tumour of uterine serosa: speculations about differential diagnosis.

Adenomatoid tumour is a benign rare lesion of the female genital tract, localised in the wall of fallopian tubes or beneath the uterine serosa. It is often accompanied by smooth muscle proliferation, obscuring the presence of adenomatoid tumour, resulting in misdiagnosis of cellular leiomyoma.Here, a case of uterine serosal adenomatoid tumour associated with multiple leiomyomas and pelvic endometriosis in a 44-year-old woman who underwent surgical removal for uterine bleeding and abdominal pain is presented.

Intramuscular myxoma of the deltoid muscle: report of a case.

Intramuscular myxoma is a rare, benign lesion of mesenchymal origin, affecting the skeletal muscles. We report the case of a 75-year-old woman presenting with a mass of the right deltoid region. On the MRI examination it was interpreted as a lipomatous lesion.

Small bowel intussusception secondary to inflammatory fibroid polyp of the ileum: report of a case.

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are rare benign lesions of uncertain origin, that may occur in many different locations in the gastrointestinal tract, the gastric antrum being the most common site, followed by the small bowel. These lesions can cause abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction or intussusception. In the case of a gastric inflammatory fibroid polyp in the presence of Helicobacter Pylori infection, the patient can benefit from pharmacological eradication of Helicobacter Pylori.
