1.Agenesis of the gall bladder with duplication cysts of the hepatic flexure--a case report and literature review.
Singapore medical journal 1993;34(2):181-182
A 24-year-old lady with recurrent upper abdominal pain, underwent surgery for cholelithiasis based on imaging diagnosis by ultrasound scanning. At laparotomy, the gall bladder could not be found either in its normal or ectopic locations. The diagnosis of agenesis of the gall bladder was confirmed by operative cholangiography. Duplication cysts of the hepatic flexure were discovered in the position normally occupied by the gall bladder. The stony hard faeces in the cysts were probably interpreted as gallstones on ultrasound. This rare condition is discussed and the importance of intraoperative cholangiography is stressed.

Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare disease which shows multiple cystic gastric glands within the submucosa of the stomach. GCP lesions mainly develop at the site of gastroenterostomy and exhibit benign behavior. However, there have been a number of debates over its malignant potential. Several reports have documented GCP accompanied by gastric carcinomas, but the relationship between the two conditions remains uncertain. Here we report two cases of GCP with dysplasia accompanied by synchronous multiple early gastric cancers without previous gastric surgery.

A duodenal duplication cyst is an uncommon congenital anomaly that is usually encountered during infancy or in early childhood. Duodenal duplication cysts generally appear on the first or second portion of the duodenum and may cause duodenal obstruction, hemorrhage or pancreatitis. Here, we report a case of a duodenal duplication cyst on the second and third portion of the duodenum in an old aged man with obstructive jaundice and acute pancreatitis, which was treated successfully by a surgical excision.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore a rare anatomic malformation of ethmoid and its clinical features, as well as an effective way of treatment.
METHOD:
Four cases from 2000-2009 of the first affiliated hospital of china medical university were studied according to the symptom,CT scanning, pathological examination and treatment process, respectively.
RESULT:
Ethmoid bone gasification complicated with infection resulted in a rare anatomic and pathological disorder. The symptom and treatment were largely dependent on the size of gasification and degree of infection.
CONCLUSION
CT Scanning plays a critical role in the diagnosis. In most case,a surgical treatment under endoscope is generally applied as a suitable way for clinical therapy. The regular reexamination is recommended for preventing recurrence.

6.Multidirectional Instability Accompanying an Inferior Labral Cyst.

Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery 2010;2(2):121-124
Paralabral cyst of the shoulder joint can be observed in 2% to 4% of the general population, particularly in men during the third and fourth decade. On average, these cysts measure 10 mm to 20 mm in diameter and are located preferentially on the postero-superior aspect of the glenoid. The MRI has increased the frequency of the diagnosis of paralabral cysts of the shoulder joint. Paralabral cysts of the shoulder joint usually develop in the proximity of the labrum. The relationship between shoulder instability and labral tears is well known, however, the association of shoulder instability with a paralabral cyst is rare. Shoulder instability may cause labral injury or labral injury may cause shoulder instability, and then injured tear develops paralabral cyst. In our patient, the inferior paralabral cyst may be associated with inferior labral tears and instability MRI.

PURPOSE: To report a case of conjunctival inclusion cysts on the corneal limbus of a patient with chronic vernal keratoconjunctivitis during 16 months' follow up. METHODS: The patient was a 26 year old male without any specific history of surgery or trauma. Giant papillae, shield ulcers, and Horner-Trantas dots were detected. During the 16 month follow-up, Sodium cromoglycate eye drops and Prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops were given 3 times a day. During this period, conjunctival cysts were detected on the corneal limbus in both eyes. In spite of improvement of the corneal and conjunctival conditions, the conjunctival cysts did not seem to show any specific changes. For relief of foreign body sensation, excision of the conjunctival cysts and giant papillae of the left eye and histopathologic examination of the specimen was performed. RESULTS: On histopathological examination, the conjunctival cysts consisted of nonkeratinizing stratified epithelial cells filled with PAS-positive mucous substance. Inflammatory cells were not found in the vicinity. CONCLUSIONS: Conjunctival inclusion cysts can be seen as an atypical finding of long-standing vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Mechanical friction between the giant papillae and conjunctiva may be a factor in inducing the formation of the conjunctival cysts.

A 44-year-old woman underwent surgery for an asymptomatic primary tumor of the heart located in the right atrium. The tumor was detected incidentally during follow-up computed tomography for a resected breast cancer. The mass, lying along the lower portion of the right atrial septum, was homogenous and cystic in nature, as detected by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Complete resection was performed via a median sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful. However, the histological result was surprising: the mass was a cardiac lymphangioma.

Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome (VWGS) is a rare complication of prolonged untreated juvenile hypothyroidism characterized by precocious puberty and enlarged multicystic ovaries. A 13-year-old girl visited our outpatient clinic due to menstrual irregularities. She had precocious puberty, pituitary hyperplasia and multiple cystic ovaries in addition to clinical signs of severe congenital hypothyroidism. After the initiation of L-thyroxine therapy, the symptoms were alleviated in a short time. This rare syndrome is easy to be misdiagnosed as pituitary and ovarian tumor. High degree of suspicion and timely diagnosis can prevent unnecessary surgical procedures because the symptoms can be reversed with thyroid hormone supplementation.

OBJECTIVETo study the pathology, imaging and clinical features of a child with trisomy 21 syndrome associated interstitial lung disease.
METHODData of a case with trisomy 21 syndrome associated interstitial lung disease confirmed by lung imaging and pathology were collected, analyzed and the related reports in literature were reviewed.
RESULTThe patient was a one year and 7 months old boy who suffered from severe pneumonia and recurrent infection during his hospital stay. When his disease was stable, he did not have shortness of breath and cyanosis, but a chest computed tomography (CT) showed ground-glass opacity, regional emphysema, band-like change in lung parenchyma, which indicated interstitial lung diseases. Unequal air inflation in bilateral lungs and diffuse over-distension of peripheral air spaces in lung surface were seen through thoracoscope. Pathological examination indicated that alveolar, alveolar ducts and alveolar sac were enlarged, alveolar septa was expanded. There were two reports in lung pathology of trisomy 21 syndrome, alveolar growth abnormalities was seen in 86%-88% cases. The multiple subpleural cysts in chest CT was characteristic. Clinically, trisomy 21 syndrome had high morbidity of respiratory tract infection and progress to respiratory failure frequently. Prolonged postoperative desaturation was constant which required long duration of respiratory support.
CONCLUSIONTrisomy 21 syndrome associated alveolar growth abnormalities were confirmed, which manifest as alveolar simplification in pathology and interstitial lung diseases in imaging. The risk of respiratory failure in these cases caused by infection and surgery should be considered.
