Cystic adrenal lymphangiomas are very rare benign lymphatic neoplasms. They are believed to arise from vascular malformation of the lymphatics. They are usually large, well-circumscribed, mul¬tiloculated cystic spaces lined by endothelium containing a connective tissue component that are discovered incidentally most of the time during clinical and diagnostic work up for unrelated reason. Its incidence in autopsy series varies between 0,064 and 0,18%.
We report a case of a 52-year old lady who w
BACKGROUND
Bariatric surgery has been established as the most effective long-term treatment for morbid obesity and obesity-related comorbidities. Despite this success, racial disparities exist that preclude Hispanic patients from being considered for bariatric surgery and the optimal operative approach in this ethnic group has yet to be defined.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective review of obese patients treated at our institute between 2008 and 2013. We identified self-reported Hispanic
Introduction:
Morgagni hernia, encompass a rare subset of all diaphragmatic hernias, consisting of roughly 3% of all diaphragmatic hernias. In the adult populations, such hernias tend to present asymptomatically. Traditional approaches to management involved open surgical repair via transthoracic or transabdominal route. Advances in minimally invasive techniques have brought about the implementation of laparoscopic techniques as an alternative method of therapeutic utility. Furthermore, the pre
INTRODUCTION- Patients with suspected abdominal tuberculosis undergo numerous diagnostic tests because of lack of specific clinical features and difficulty in isolating Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study was intended to evaluate the role of diagnostic laparoscopy and histopathology in comparison to non-invasive tests in a patient with suspected abdominal tuberculosis.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES- In our prospective study, we evaluated patients suspected of abdominal tuberculosis on the basis of
INTRODUCTION: The use of laparoscopic gastrectomy for treating gastric cancer has spread rapidly. We describe a totally laparoscopic D1 radical distal gastrectomy for an early gastric cancer.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES: A 63-year-old male patient was admitted due to “upper abdominal discomfort for 1 year”. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed a 2 × 1.5 cm lesion located in gastric angle with infiltration into the submucosa and adenocarcinoma was confirmed by pathology. No evidence of distant met
