A 50-year-old Japanese man with enlargement of the right scrotum was presented to our hospital. Preoperative examination confirmed a multilocular cyst with septa attached to the testis. Radical orchiectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed closely-located two cysts; larger one was infected hydrocele testis, and smaller one was epithelial cyst, which were immunohistochemically positive widely for estrogen receptor (ER) and partly for progesterone receptor (PR). We concluded that the smaller cyst was serous cystadenoma of the epididymis.

Background: Müllerian cysts of the posterior mediastinum are rare, benign lesions typically discovered incidentally via routine medical exams.
Case Presentation: We present a distinctive case of a 49-year-old asymptomatic woman, illustrating a rare Müllerian cyst located in the posterior mediastinum with serous papillary cystadenoma-like features, a novel finding in the medical literature. Identified during a routine health screening in December 2020, a 20 mm cystic lesion adjacent to the T4-5 vertebral body was detected through chest CT and MRI, initially suggesting a neurogenic tumor.

Whereas pancreatic masses are often difficult to detect with transabdominal ultrasound, cross-sectional imaging features high sensitivity for the pancreatic tumors. However, increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has led to a surge in the detection of benign or precancerous pancreatic lesions. The medical history is characteristic only for two entities.

Background: Distinguishing serous cystadenoma, a benign pancreatic cyst, from potentially malignant mucinous pancreatic cystic lesions carries significant clinical and prognostic implications; and while endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration is the standard diagnostic tool, its low diagnostic yield often results in additional workup.
Objective: This study evaluates diagnostic yield of fine needle biopsy (FNB) on lesions suggestive of serous cystadenoma on endoscopic ultrasound.
Methods: Patients with microcystic EUS appearance were identified through retrospective chart review in two institutions.

A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with jaundice. A closer examination revealed that he had obstructive jaundice due to bile duct obstruction caused by a multifocal cystic tumor of the pancreas. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed stenosis of the distal bile duct and leakage of contrast medium into the pancreatic cyst.

Article Synopsis
- - Ovarian tumors in children are rare, occurring at a rate of 2.6 per 100,000, with symptoms often including abdominal pain and the need for thorough diagnostic evaluation using imaging like pelvic ultrasounds.
- - A 15-year-old girl presented with a six-month history of an enlarging abdominal mass and negative tumor markers, leading to an ultrasound and MRI that revealed a large cystic mass occupying her abdomen and pelvis.
- - She underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst, which involved draining 6 liters of fluid and preserving part of her left ovary; follow-up care is ongoing.
