Solitary lipoma of ileocaecal valve mimicking Crohn's disease: A case report of a challenging diagnosis for a rare benign tumor of the intestinal tract.

Introduction And Importance: Symptomatic ileocaecal lipomas is a fascinating disease, it represents a distinctive subtype of bowel lipomas for two main reasons: it is so rare that its exact incidence is unknown, second its clinical and radiological features are so unspecific that it remains a challenging diagnosis. In terms of treatment surgical resection is indicated when doubting malignant origin, or in case of symptomatic lipomas. Through anatomopathological findings, diagnosis can be confirmed.

Synovial sarcoma of the abdominal wall: A case report for a rare entity with a challenging treatment.

Introduction And Importance: Synovial Sarcoma is an intriguing disease, it represents a distinctive subtype of soft tissue sarcoma that does not exceed 10 % of all STS. This tumor can arise from the abdominal wall in very rare cases. Due to its unique presentation (occurring at a young age, various anatomical locations, and slow evolutionary kinetics), diagnosis can be challenging.

Surgical management of benign noninfected urachal cysts in adult patients: two case reports.

Background: Abnormalities of the urachus include the patent urachus, cysts, sinus, and fistula. Each of these entities represents a failure of complete obliteration of the urachus. Contrary to other urachus anomalies, urachal cysts are usually small and silent unless they are infected.

An epigastric mass? And what if it was an intra-abdominal esophageal duplication cyst: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Duplication of the alimentary tract are uncommon congenital malformations that may be found anywhere from mouth to anus. Esophageal cystic duplication is a congenital cystic malformation of the alimentary tract consisting of a duplication of the segment of the esophagus to which it is adjacent.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 29-year-old female who had complained of intermittent epigastric pain and post prandial nausea for several weeks.

Closed loop small bowel obstruction due to small intestine volvulus associated with early adhesion after laparoscopic appendectomy: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Nowadays the majority of appendectomies are undertaken laparoscopically. The associated per and postoperative complications are well established and known. However, some rare postoperative complications continue to be reported such as small bowel volvulus.

Primary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma: An exceptional disease in adulthood.

Primary retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma is an extremely rare disease in clinical practice. It is classified as a vascular tumor. Only three cases have been reported in the literature.

Retroperitoneal schwannoma: Uncommon location of a benign tumor.

Schwannoma is a type of nerve tumor of the nerve sheath. They are preferentially localized on the head, neck, and flexor surfaces of the extremities. Retroperitoneal schwannoma is extremely rare.

Septate gallbladder: A rare congenital anomaly.

The septate gallbladder is a rare congenital malformation. It is considered a risk factor of complications after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We are reporting an image in surgery of a septate gallbladder.

Idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis: An uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction in a virgin abdomen.

Idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a clinical entity characterized by partial or complete encasement of the digestive tract by a fibrous membrane. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult to establish. The diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis should be considered for patients without any surgical history and admitted for intestinal obstruction, especially for patients having peritoneal dialysis.

A 34-year-old asymptomatic gossypiboma: A fortuitous diagnosis revealed by appendicular peritonitis: A case report.

Gossypiboma is a retained surgical sponge. Patients are usually symptomatic leading to early removal of this entity. We are reporting a 33-year-old asymptomatic gossypiboma discovered by appendicular peritonitis on the radiological images.

Focal Mass-Forming Autoimmune Pancreatitis Mimicking Pancreatic Cancer: Which strategy?

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis that predominantly affects men in their fifth and sixth decades and often presents with obstructive jaundice and pancreatic enlargement. It is relatively easily diagnosed by characteristics of diffuse swelling of parenchyma and irregular narrowing of the main pancreatic duct. However, focal mass-forming AIP is hard to distinguish from pancreatic cancer.

Gallbladder schistosomiasis: rare but possible, a case report and review of the literature.

After Malaria, schistosomiasis remains the most important tropical disease in large parts of the world. It affects mainly the colon and the urinary tract. The hepatic involvement is significantly frequent, particularly by the mansoni species.

Ureteral tumor in an ectopic duplex system: a case report.

Introduction: Ureteral ectopia is a rarely observed anomaly. It may be totally asymptomatic. An association with a duplex system is exceptional.
