Diagnosis and surgical management of a rare case of duodenal duplication cyst in a neonate: Case report and literature review

A unique case of enteric duplication cyst in a neonate: A case report study

INTRODUCTION

Clinical manifestations of intestinal duplication cysts are varied, influenced by factors such as size, location, and mass effect. Most of these cysts are adjacent to the second or third portion of the native duodenum. Complete surgical excision is the standard treatment for symptomatic enteric duplication cysts.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present the case of a neonate who was admitted to the hospital with abdominal distension and jaundice. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan revealed a cystic mass of uncertain origin. Surgical exploration demonstrated a duodenal duplication cyst, which was successfully excised. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. A review of the literature highlights the approach to duodenal duplication cysts in neonates.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

While rare, duodenal duplication cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses. Comprehensive imaging studies and histopathological examination are essential for accurate diagnosis.

CONCLUSION

Complete surgical excision of duodenal duplication cysts is crucial to prevent potential complications, such as malignant transformation.

Giant mesenteric cysts: Clinical insights and diagnostic challenges

INTRODUCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE

Giant mesenteric cysts are rare and their clinical presentation varies depending on their location and size and therefore varies widely in clinical manifestations. Many theories have attempted to explain the occurrence of these tumors but no precise cause has been found. However, surgical excision is the gold standard in the treatment of these tumors and there is no need for adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present three cases of male children with giant mesenteric cysts in different abdominal regions with different clinical manifestations, all of which had no abdominal pain but abdominal distension as the main complaint. Radiological investigations confirmed the presence of intra-abdominal cysts without precise localization, and surgical intervention was successful and these tumors were completely removed.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

While these conditions are rare and not frequently seen by surgeons, they should be considered as a differential diagnosis for intra-abdominal cysts, as this is important for the outcome of correct treatment.

CONCLUSION

These tumors are often diagnosed during surgery and complete surgical excision is essential and the diagnosis is confirmed by histological analysis. The clinical findings of this study suggest that environmental factors are a possible cause of the development of these tumors, which requires further study to understand the pathophysiology of these tumors.

Giant mesenteric cysts: A rare case series with clinical insights

INTRODUCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE

Mesenteric cysts are rare, non-cancerous tumors found mainly in children. The symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of the cyst. While the exact cause is unknown, complete surgical removal is the main and most effective treatment for mesenteric cysts.

CASE PRESENTATION

Three cases involving young boys were presented. They primarily complained of abdominal swelling without pain. Radiological tests revealed mesenteric cysts near the jejunum and transverse colon, and another near the sigmoid colon, which were both successfully removed.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

Despite being uncommon, mesenteric cysts should be considered when diagnosing abdominal masses in children.

CONCLUSION

Surgical intervention is crucial for patients with mesenteric cysts. Complete surgical removal leads to a positive prognosis, even for large or complex cases. This stresses the importance of considering. Environmental factors are potential causes for the formation and development of these tumors.

A rare case of a large mesenteric lymphangioma in a 2-year-old child: Case report and review of the literature

INTRODUCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE

Lymphangiomas are benign tumors that are typically found in the neck and armpit region but can also occur in other locations. The clinical presentation varies depending on their location and size, and surgical resection is the primary treatment option.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present the case of a child who presented with a painless and non-obstructing abdominal mass. The mass was diagnosed and underwent complete surgical resection. Subsequent tissue analysis confirmed that the cyst was a lymphangioma.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

These tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the abdomen, and the importance of performing complete surgical resection is emphasized.

CONCLUSION

The importance of complete surgical resection for mesenteric lymphangioma must be emphasized. Partial resection or aspiration should not be performed due to the risk of complications associated with these procedures and the increased risk of recurrence.

A unique case of enteric duplication cyst in the cecum presenting as ileocolic intussusception in a 3-year-old child: Case report and review of the literature

INTRODUCTION AND SIGNIFICANCE

This is a rare case of enteric duplication cyst presenting as ileocolic intussusception in a child. The literature review found that there have been only a few other reported cases of this condition. In most cases, enteric duplication cysts are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. However, in some cases, they can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. Intussusception is a rare complication of enteric duplication cysts.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present a case of a enteric duplication cyst in the cecum that was discovered through its association with a ileocolic intussusception that reached the anus. We diagnosed the ileocolic intussusception through an ultrasound, and during surgery, we discovered the presence of the enteric duplication cyst in the cecum. We resected it and performed a ileocolic anastomosis.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

The treatment for enteric duplication cysts that are causing symptoms is surgery. During surgery, the cyst is removed and the intestine is repaired.

CONCLUSION

This case report highlights the importance of considering enteric duplication cyst as a possible cause of ileocolic intussusception in children.
