1/732. Palliative sclerosis of intra-abdominal cystic ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma.Three patients with platinum- and paclitaxel-resistant predominantly cystic intra-abdominal recurrences of ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma were treated with CT-guided percutaneous catheter drainage and subsequent sclerosis. This relieved colonic or ureteral obstruction and provided significant relief from symptoms. In one case repeated sclerosis was performed. sclerosis of cystic recurrences may provide additional palliation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = obstruction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/732. Cyst of seminal vesicle with ipsilateral renal agenesis and ectopic ureter: case report.A 24-year-old man had a cyst of the seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis with an ectopic ureter. Nineteen other patients with similar anomalies are reviewed. The usual age at the onset of symptoms is between 20 and 28 years, during the time of maximal reproductive activity. Usually, diagnosis is established by history, the finding of a mass in the area of the seminal vesicle and an excretory urogram. Treatment consists of excision, aspiration or transurethral unroofing of the cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.186259873812keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/732. Mullerian duct cyst extending into the abdomen.Mullerian duct cysts occupying the pelvic/abdominal region are rare. We describe a mullerian duct cyst extending into the lower abdomen in a 47-year-old man complaining of urinary retention. We removed the cyst through a suprapubic retrovesical approach. No malignancy was found in the surgical specimen.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 13.117559242872keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/732. Fibropolycystic disease of the hepatobiliary system and kidneys.This complicated case of fibropolycystic disease of the hepatobiliary system and kidneys was ably and incisively analyzed by Professor Sheila Sherlock. Her clinical acumen was revealed by her ability to differentiate congenital hepatic fibrosis, Caroli's disease, and adult polycystic disease of the liver and kidney. Interesting histologic features of this case included hepatic fibrosis with intact limiting plates anc central veins and the presence of bile plugs in the ducts, but the absence of bile statsis in the parenchyma. A percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram demonstrated the dilated intrahepatic and extrahepatic ducts. Washing out the "gunk" from the biliary tract by T-tube drainage has great limitations in this type of case. Therefore, Dr. Adson suggested irrigation of the biliary ductal system using tubed placed transhepatically, plus a wide choledojejunostomy. Dr. Sherlock questioned this surgical approach. The use of chenodeoxycholic acid for this "gunk" was suggested. In spite of the dilated ducts and pathologic changes in the liver, the patient was not jandiced and did not have stones in her biliary tract. The genetics of this patient's problems was discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 20.206373796327keywords = extrahepatic, duct, bile (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/732. Radiologic differential diagnosis. Radiologic pattern: solitary cavity.The differential diagnosis of a left lower lobe cavity in this young patient with a history of productive cough should include hiatal hernia, pulmonary abscess, bronchiectatic cyst and bronchopulmonary sequestration. Hiatal hernia should be ruled out by barium swallow; acute pulmonary abscess by the lack of a history suggestive of a necrotizing pneumonia; bronchiectasis by bronchogram; and intralobar bronchopulmonary sequestration should be confirmed by aortography.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.186259873812keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/732. Gartner's duct cyst with unilateral renal dysplasia presenting as an introital mass in a new born.A persistent Gartner's duct cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis or dysplasia is rare. A vaginal cyst at the introitus as the presenting complaint is very rare, and has not been previously described in a neonate. sepsis despite the presence of renal agenesis, or non- or poorly functioning renal tissue, is an indication for ureterectomy or nephroureterectomy on the affected side.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 10.93129936906keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |

8/732. Ultrasonic features of Gartner's duct cyst.Gartner's duct cysts will usually be incidental findings during pelvic sonography. Of developmental origin, they may present anywhere along the lateral aspect of the female genital tract. When the cysts are of parovarian origin, they will mimic other fluid-filled adnexal masses, and no specific diagnosis can be made. When alongside the vagina or cervix, however, their ultrasonographic appearance is probably characteristic.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 10.93129936906keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/732. Evaluation and management of benign, non-congenital tongue masses in children.Lingual tumors are rare, primarily benign, lesions in the pediatric population. Congenital lesions, such as hemangiomas, lymphatic malformations, dermoids, hamartomas and thyroglossal ducts cysts, are seen more commonly. Primary, non-congenital lingual neoplasms are less common in children. We present three patients with benign lingual neoplasms. Evaluation, management, pathology and follow-up are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.186259873812keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/732. Benign epithelial cyst of the spleen with a high production of carbohydrate antigen 19-9.A rare case of an epithelial splenic cyst showing a high production of the carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is presented. A 19-year-old female with high fever and loss of appetite was diagnosed as having a splenic cyst. Laboratory data revealed unusually elevated serum levels of both CA19-9 and CA125. The histological diagnosis was an epithelial splenic cyst, and immunohistochemically the wall of the splenic cyst was strongly positive for CA19-9 and slightly positive for both CA125 and CEA. Fluid in the splenic cyst contained quite high levels of CA19-9, CA125 and CEA. After splenectomy, the serum levels of CA19-9 and CA125 gradually decreased. These findings suggested that the splenic cyst produced CA19-9, CA125 and CEA. And with very high levels of CA19-9 and CA1 25 in the cyst, some had entered into systemic circulation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 10.93129936906keywords = duct (Clic here for more details about this article) |
