Incidentally discovered giant mucocele of the appendix.

Mucocele of the appendix is a rare but well-recognized entity that can mimic several common clinical conditions or present as an incidental radiological or surgical finding at laparotomy. Mucoceles are characterized by distension of the lumen due to accumulation of mucoid substance. They can result from mucosal hyperplasia, mucinous cystadenoma, or mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.

Clinico-radiological and pathological evaluation of extra testicular scrotal lesions.

Background: Scrotal ultrasound, though reliable in distinguishing between intratesticular and extratesticular lesions and characterizing them as cystic and solid, cannot distinguish benign from malignant pathology. Although fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has proved to be of great diagnostic importance in testicular lesions, its scope in extratesticular lesions is largely unexplored.

Aim: To evaluate extratesticular scrotal lesions cytologically and compare it with their clinical, radiological, and histological findings.

Isolated corrosive pyloric stenosis without oesophageal involvement: an experience of 21 years.

Background And Study Aims: Corrosive ingestion is common in Asia and it is a frequent cause of morbidity secondary to intense fibrotic reaction and stricture formation of the oesophagus. Isolated corrosive pyloric stenosis without oesophageal involvement is an uncommon phenomenon.

Patients And Methods: All consecutive patients, with corrosive ingestion in the last two decades, were reviewed and analysed.

Foreign body granuloma in the anterior abdominal wall mimicking an acute appendicular lump and induced by a translocated copper-T intrauterine contraceptive device: a case report.

Introduction: Intrauterine contraceptive devices may at times perforate and migrate to adjacent organs. Such uterine perforation usually passes unnoticed with development of potentially serious complications.

Case Presentation: A 25-year-old woman of North Indian origin presented with an acute tender lump in the right iliac fossa.

Prostatic adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the parietal bones.

Prostate cancer metastasis to the axial skeleton occurs at high frequency in patients with advanced disease causing significant morbidity and mortality. Apart from bone, brain is also a common site of metastasis but the involvement of the parietal bones is extremely unusual. Parietal bone metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma was the initial presentation seen in our patient.

Hydatid cyst of gall bladder.

Gall bladder hydatid cyst is a rare entity. Concurrent occurrence of gall blader hydatid cysts along with liver cysts, especially with the biliary channels clear of cysts, is very rare. We report a 27-year-old man with a gall bladder hydatid cyst that was diagnosed only after opening the resected specimen of the gall bladder.
