Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract.

Article Synopsis
  • Teratomas are germ cell tumors that typically occur in the gonads, with rare cases found in the adrenal glands, especially in younger patients.
  • A 56-year-old woman with abdominal pain was diagnosed with a large right adrenal teratoma through imaging and underwent successful surgical removal.
  • Adrenal teratomas are often asymptomatic and are usually treated with surgery, which has a good prognosis, although more research is needed to fully understand their characteristics and development.

The appearance of symptoms should suggest degeneration. This case demonstrates an unusual case of a patient presenting an intestinal type IPMN that was revealed by a large abdominal mass.

Introduction: Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors located outside the gastrointestinal tract, and exhibit the same phenotypic and morphological profile of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).

Case Report: We report the case of a 20-year-old male patient consulted for chronic discomfort in the hypogastric region. Abdominal ultrasound and abdomino-pelvic CT scan identified a retro-vesical mass measuring 16 × 9 cm.

Parathyroid cysts (PCs) are uncommon entities in clinical practice. The lack of pathognomonic clinical presentation and radiological features of PCs makes preoperative diagnosis unlikely, therefore, most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively or postoperatively at the pathological analysis of the surgical specimen. Treatment of nonfunctional PCs remains controversial and includes fine-needle aspiration, injection of sclerosant, or surgical excision.

Liposarcomas are considered to be the most common soft tissue sarcomas and have five histological subtypes. The myxoid subtype often occurs in the lower limbs and the retroperitoneum; however, the abdominal wall location is extremely rare. The clinical presentation and radiological findings are non-specific.
