Article Abstract

Introduction: Appendectomy is the most common emergency surgical procedure performed worldwide. Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare benign tumor of the appendix. There is no agreement on the best surgical approach for its management. Recently, laparoscopic approach is being increasingly tried. Careful excision of the tumor is mandatory to avoid content spillage into peritoneum resulting in pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Case Presentation: A middle-age male patient presented to the emergency department complaining of chronic abdominal pain, bleeding per rectum and recurrent attacks of vomiting. Preoperative imaging confirmed presence of cystic lesion in the right lower quadrant. He underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy with resection of appendicular mucocele. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of appendicular mucinous cystadenoma. He was followed up in the clinic for two years.

Conclusion: Appendicular mucinous cystadenoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of cystic mass detected in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen on US or CT. Laparoscopic excision of the tumor is safe and feasible with extra care taken to avoid pseudomyxoma peritonei.'

Rationale: Peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma is rare in the clinic, lacks specific clinical manifestations, tumor markers, and imaging features, and is easily misdiagnosed and missed. Clinical practitioners should maintain a high level of vigilance. Here, we report a case of laparoscopic peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma stripping to improve our understanding of the disease.

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly with an unusually higher frequency of neuroendocrine tumors. Symptoms are rare, and, in most of the cases, are incidentally diagnosed. The clinical behavior of these tumors is heterogeneous and can be difficult to predict based on histology alone.

Objectives: To improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy of struma ovarii by retrospectively reviewing magnetic resonance (MR) findings. It is beneficial to choose the most appropriate surgical modality for the patient.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical course and MR characteristics of 52 patients who were diagnosed postoperatively with struma ovarii, pathologically, from two institutions.

Pancreatic and Digestive Endocrine Surgical Research Group, Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology, University of Padua, Padua, Italy.

An asymptomatic 79-year old woman presented with a 40 mm pancreatic cystic lesion, located in the pancreatic body-tail and consistent with branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) without "high risk stigmata". During a 4-year follow-up period, imaging showed no mural nodules or main pancreatic duct dilation, and serum CEA and CA19.9 were within normal range.

Objective: We aimed to explore the abnormal pathology findings in appendix specimens removed based on intraoperative abnormal appearance during elective surgery for benign gynaecological conditions by a minimally invasive gynaecologist, as well as the associated complication rate.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary referral surgical centre for benign gynaecological conditions between the years 2004-2023. It included patients who underwent appendicectomy by a trained minimally invasive gynaecologist based on observations during surgery for benign gynaecological conditions.
