Background: Giant cystic lymphangiomas of the liver are rare malformations of the lymphatic system usually found in children.
Case Presentation: A 35-year-old man presenting with right upper quadrant abdominal pain for 7 months visited our clinic. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI examination demonstrated a giant cystic mass in the right trisegment of the liver. The patient underwent surgical resection and histological results of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of giant cystic lymphangioma. The right upper quadrant abdominal pain subsided after the surgical resection and the patient recovered well.
Conclusion: Surgical resection is an effective therapy in treating giant cystic lymphangioma.

Introduction: Although giant cystic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are uncommon, they can be life-threatening when it occurs. Unfortunately, prior case reports have shown that giant cystic PPGLs are highly susceptible to diagnostic errors. Therefore, this study aimed to explore giant cystic PPGLs by comparing them with non-cystic PPGLs, defining the clinical features of the affected patients, and analyzing the characteristics of misdiagnosis and mistreatment associated with PPGLs.

From a global perspective, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hydatid cyst disease are both common; however, the endemic and zoonotic nature of hydatid cysts (due to larvae) makes the simultaneous detection of the two conditions a rare occurrence. In this case report, in a 43-year-old male patient, we aim to draw attention to the potential coexistence of HCC and liver hydatid cysts by presenting a case in which HCC tissue was detected in the cyst wall-removed by emergency surgery due to cyst perforation. Hydatid lesions in the liver may exhibit tumor-like growth characteristics.

Introduction And Importance: Ovarian atypical proliferative mucinous tumor (APMT) is a low-malignant or borderline tumor that originates from the ovary's surface epithelium. This tumor can grow to a massive size, causing abdominal distention, which can result in a variety of compression symptoms if it is not discovered early.
Case Presentation: A 23-year-old female presented with a chronic, gradually developing abdominal distention that had been persistent for a year.

Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm typically seen in middle-aged women. The exact preoperative diagnosis is quite challenging considering its nonspecific clinical and radiologic features along with complex histology. Moreover, obtaining an exact histopathological diagnosis can be difficult especially with the small biopsy specimens.
