Quiste de duplicación gástrica en el adulto: una rara entidad / Gastric duplication cyst in the adult: a rare entity

Resumen Objetivo Reportar el caso clínico de un quiste de duplicación gástrica en un paciente adulto. Materiales y Método Paciente de sexo masculino de 70 años con una tumoración quística supramesocólica, con síntomas digestivos inespecíficos. La imagenología solicitada no determinó la etiología ni origen de la misma planteándose múltiples diagnósticos diferenciales. Se realizó una laparotomía exploradora. Resultados La laparotomía confirmó el origen gástrico de la tumoración. Se realizó la resección completa de la misma con resección gástrica en forma de gastrectomía atípica. El estudio anatomopatológico de la pieza confirmó un quiste de duplicación gástrica. Discusión Los quistes de duplicación gástrica son una enfermedad congénita rara, se diagnostican principalmente en la etapa neonatal, siendo raro en el adulto. La mayoría son lesiones únicas, no comunicantes, asintomáticas y de difícil diagnóstico preoperatorio siendo habitual el diagnostico definitivo en el intraoperatorio y con el estudio histológico de la pieza. Conclusión El quiste de duplicación gástrica debe tenerse en cuenta en los diagnósticos diferenciales de toda lesión quística supramesocólica. Son lesiones potencialmente malignas siendo la resección completa la que brinda el diagnóstico y tratamiento definitivo.

Aim To report the clinical case of a gastric duplication cyst in an adult patient. Materials and Method 70 year old male patient with a symptomatic supramesocolic cystic lesion. Preoperative imagenology was not able to determine the exact origin or etiology. Several differential diagnosis were made and finally an exploratory laparotomy was performed. Results The laparotomy determined the gastric origin and a complete resection including gastric wall was done. The anatomopathological study confirmed it was a gastric duplication cyst. Discussion Gastric duplication cysts are a rare congenital disease, diagnosed mainly in the neonatal stage, with rare presentation in the adult stage. Most of these lesions are unique, non-communicating, usually asymptomatic and difficult to diagnose preoperatively, with definitive diagnosis being common in intraoperative and histological study of the piece. Conclusion The gastric duplication cyst must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of any supramesocolic cystic lesion. They are potentially malignant lesions, and complete resection provides the definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Quiste pulmonar congénito gigante que imita neumotórax a tensión en un niño / Huge congenital cystic lung lesion mimicking tension pneumothorax in a child

El tratamiento de los lactantes con quistes pulmonares congénitos conlleva una resección quirúrgica. Las variaciones en la ubicación y el tamaño del quiste de aire en el pulmón afectado implican la selección de diferentes estrategias quirúrgicas. La presencia de quistes pulmonares congénitos gigantes que imitan un neumotórax a tensión no permitiría tomar una decisión precisa y realizar un tratamiento oportuno durante una emergencia respiratoria. Los escasos informes sobre este tipo de experiencia hacen referencia a quistes a tensión durante la niñez. En este artículo, presentamos el caso de un niño con un quiste pulmonar congénito gigante que imita neumotórax a tensión según las manifestaciones clínicas y las evaluaciones del diagnóstico por imágenes. La descompresión instantánea del neumotórax a tensión no logró aliviar la dificultad respiratoria del niño. En los niños que presentan evidencia clínica de neumotórax a tensión, se debe excluir la posibilidad de un quiste pulmonar congénito gigante.

Treats of symptomatic infants with congenital cystic lung lesions (CCLLs) need surgical resection. Variable location and size of the air cyst of involved lung mean that different surgical strategies must be selected. The presence of huge CCLLs mimicking tension pneumothorax would hamper accurate judgment and timely treatment in dealing with respiratory emergencies. Rare experience reports are coping with childhood tension cystic lung lesion. We present a case of childhood huge CCLLs which was similar to tension pneumothorax based on clinical manifestations and imaging evaluations. Implementation of instant decompression measure against tension pneumothorax failed to alleviate respiratory distress of child. We should exclude the possibility of huge lung cystic lesion in children when clinical evidence inclines to the diagnosis of tension pneumothorax.

Do we still need central blocks while we have erector spinae plane block? Case of 2. 5 month old infant / Ainda precisamos de bloqueios centrais enquanto temos o bloqueio do eretor da espinha? Caso de criança de 2, 5 meses de idade

Abstract Erector spinae plane block is gaining popularity both for its ease of application and as its comparable effect on postoperative analgesia with central regional techniques like paravertebral block or epidural anesthesia. Its use for many indications has been reported in the literature for pediatric patients. We would like to share our experiences in a 2.5-month infant scheduled for thoracotomy for a giant congenital cyst. Single shot erector spinae plane block was done at T4 level before the start of the surgery for both surgical and postoperative analgesia. No complication was seen during both surgery and follow up period. Erector spinae plane block with the combination of paracetamol was adequate for pain relief.

Resumo O bloqueio do plano do músculo eretor da espinha tem ganhado popularidade, tanto pela facilidade de aplicação quanto pelo efeito comparável em analgesia pós-operatória com técnicas regionais centrais, como o bloqueio paravertebral ou a anestesia peridural. Seu uso tem sido relatado na literatura para muitas indicações em pacientes pediátricos. Gostaríamos de compartilhar nossas experiências no caso de um bebê de 2,5 meses de idade programado para toracotomia para excisão de um cisto congênito gigante. O bloqueio do plano do eretor da espinha dorsal com injeção única foi realizado no nível de T4 antes do início da cirurgia para analgesia cirúrgica e pós-operatória. Nenhuma complicação foi observada durante a cirurgia e o período de acompanhamento. O bloqueio do plano do eretor da espinha com a combinação de paracetamol foi adequado para o alívio da dor.

Duplicación quística intestinal: Caso clínico / Intestinal cystic duplication: Case report

Las duplicaciones intestinales quísticas son anomalías congénitas infrecuentes, con incidencia de 1:4500 autopsias y etiopatogenia incierta. Son estructuras quísticas, tubulares o diverticulares revestidas de mucosa gastrointestinal con pared de músculo liso, adheridas al tracto gastrointestinal, pero no suelen comunicar con la luz intestinal. Los quistes de duplicación gástrica representan el 7-9% de los quistes de duplicación intestinal. Pueden diagnosticarse intraútero mediante ecografía y la resonancia magnética fetal permite caracterizar el quiste y descartar patologías concomitantes. La ecografía posnatal revela una imagen quística de "doble pared". Los neonatos suelen permanecer asintomáticos, pero pueden presentar desde síntomas gastrointestinales inespecíficos hasta síntomas de obstrucción por efecto masa, torsión o infección. En pacientes asintomáticos, se aconseja el seguimiento clínico y estudios de imagen periódicos. El tratamiento es la resección quirúrgica electiva, de manera preferente, con técnicas mínimamente invasivas. Se presenta un caso con sospecha prenatal de quiste de duplicación enteral.

Intestinal cystic duplications are rare congenital anomalies, with an estimated incidence of approximately 1:4500 autopsies. The etiopathogenesis is uncertain. These duplications are cystic, tubular or diverticular structures lined with gastrointestinal mucosa. They share a common smooth muscle wall with the gastrointestinal tract but usually their lumens do not communicate with each other. Gastric duplication cysts represent 7-9% of the gastrointestinal tract duplication. They can be diagnosed prenatally by fetal ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging characterizes the cyst and excludes other malformations. Postnatal ultrasound shows a characteristic double walled cyst. Newborns are usually asymptomatic, although nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, intestinal obstruction due to mass effect, volvulus or infection are described. In asymptomatic patients, clinical follow-up and periodic image controls are recommended. Elective surgical resection is the treatment of choice, using minimally invasive technique whenever possible. A case of prenatally suspected intestinal cystic duplication is presented.

Quiste de duplicación duodenal, diagnóstico prenatal y exéresis postnatal / Duodenal duplication cyst, prenatal diagnosis and postnatal excision

Introduction: duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies, usually originate in the 2nd -3rd portion of the duodenum. The prenatal echography diagnosis shows a cyst in the right hypochondrium, and we should perform a differential diagnosis with other pathologies. Prenatal diagnosis will allow a correct and precocious postnatal management. Elective excision is the treatment of election preventing the development of complications. Clinical case: We present a rare case of duplication of the first portion of the duodenum that required precocious excision because obstruction to gastric emptying.

Introducción: Los quistes de duplicidad duodenal son anomalías congênitas raras, que generalmente se originan en la 2ª-3ª porción duodenal. Ante el hallazgo en la ecografía prenatal de un quiste en hipocondrio derecho se debe realizar un diagnóstico diferencial con otras patologías. El diagnóstico prenatal, permitirá un correcto y precoz manejo postnatal. La exéresis electiva es el tratamiento de elección evitando la aparición de complicaciones posteriores. Caso clínico: Presentamos un caso excepcional de duplicidad de la primera porción duodenal, que precisó de exêresis precoz por causar obstrucción al vaciamiento gástrico.

Quiste congénito de la valécula con alteraciones del peso: Caso clínico / Congenital vallecular cyst with weight disorders: Case report

Los quistes de la valécula son un trastorno raro en los niños; el estridor es el síntoma más frecuente y la alteración del crecimiento, el más infrecuente. Se presenta el caso de un niño de 2 meses referido por la escasa ganancia ponderal desde su nacimiento, con antecedentes de atragantamiento al alimentarse. No presentaba dificultad respiratoria, pero llamaba la atención la respiración bucal y la hiperextensión del cuello con lateralización hacia la derecha. El esofagograma mostró una masa hipofaríngea que desplazaba la laringe y reflujo del medio de contraste hacia el árbol bronquial. Por laringoscopia directa se resecó un quiste con técnica de marsupialización. La evolución fue favorable, sin recidivas, hasta el cuarto mes de seguimiento.

Vallecula cysts are a rare condition in children, with stridor being the most common symptom and growth alterations the more uncommon. We present a 2 months-old child referred by low weight gain from birth, with a history of choking when feeding. He had no respiratory distress but struck mouth breathing and neck hyperextension with lateralization to the right. The esophagogram showed a mass displacing hypopharynx and larynx reflux of contrast into the bronchial tree. The cyst was resected by direct laryngoscopy with marsupialization technique. The outcome was favorable, without recurrence until the fourth month of monitoring.

Omphalomesenteric duct cyst in an omphalocele: a rare association

Omphalomesenteric duct [OMD] remnants and omphalocele are not infrequently seen in paediatric patients. In most of the cases, OMD remnant in an omphalocele is a Meckel's diverticulum; however rarely there may be other lesions. A one-day old male baby underwent surgery for omphalocele. At exploration a 10 x 12 cm cyst containing gut contents was found as the content of the omphalocele, with proximal and distal ileal loops running in continuity with it. Resection of the cyst with end to end primary gut anastomosis was done. Baby also had complex associated cardiac anomalies and died few days after surgery due to sepsis

Gastric Duplication Cyst Removed by Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection / 대한소화기학회지

Duplication cysts are uncommon congenital malformations that may occur anywhere throughout the alimentary tract. The stomach is an extremely rare site of occurrence. Here, we report a case of gastric duplication cyst initially presenting with a gastric submucosal tumor. A 28-year-old man complained of dyspepsia lasting 1 year and upper endoscopy revealed an ellipsoid submucosal tumor at the greater curvature of the antrum. We intended to use the injection-and-cut technique: however, after saline injection, the lesion was dented and impossible to grasp with a snare. Therefore, we decided to perform endoscopic submucosal dissection and removed the tumor without complication. Histopathology revealed a 0.6x0.6 cm-sized duplication cyst, and there has been no recurrence in 2 years.

Duplication cyst in a new born

Intestinal duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. Duplications found in proximity of small intestine are the most common enteric duplications encountered and majority of these occurs in the ileum. They may be either cystic or tubular and most of them are located in the mesentery of intestine. We are here presenting a case of a neonate who got delivered by lower segment caesarean section [LSCS] with a huge abdominal mass. At surgery there was huge small gut duplication at ileum

Congenital Seminal Vesicle Cyst Associated with Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis

PURPOSE: A seminal vesicle cyst in combination with ipsilateral renal agenesis is rarely encountered. We present cases of this disease entity with symptoms, which were treated with a laparoscopic approach as a minimally invasive surgical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We experienced 4 patients with seminal vesicle cysts and ipsilateral renal agenesis. The mean age was 45.8 years. Chief complaints were perineal pain and hematospermia. Seminal vesicle cysts and remnant ureters were excised by laparoscopic surgery with transperitoneal approaches. RESULTS: The mean operative time was 133.8 minutes. The mean hospital stay was 6.8 days. There were no operative complications or transfusions. CONCLUSION: In our report, patients of congenital seminal vesicle cyst associated with renal agenesis are presented. Laparoscopy is considered a minimal invasive management of these combined anomalies, providing a good image and an easy approach.

A Case of Ileal Duplication Cyst Lined by Ciliated Columnar and Squamous Epithelium / 대한소화기학회지

Duplication is a rare congenital abnormality and may occur in any region of the gastrointestinal tract. A 19-year-old woman was admitted due to lower abdominal pain. Abdomino-pelvic CT scan showed a cystic mass interpreted as mesenteric cyst or duplication cyst. On the operation finding, it seemed to be arised from mesentery but attached to the ileum. Microscopically, the cystic wall was lined by non-keratinizing squamous, ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium, and ectopic gastric mucosa with two distinct muscular layers and a serosa. We report the first case of ileal duplication cyst lined by squamous and ciliated columnar epithelium in Korea.

Obstrucción de conductos eyaculadores / Ejaculatory duct obstruction

BACKGROUND: Prostatic cysts are rare lesions with a reported incidence from 1 to 7.9%. They have been associated with primary infertility. The main characteristic is the benign course and positive prognosis after correct surgical management. CLINICAL CASES: We present three clinical cases, two with primary infertility and another with a history of primary infertility who presented with recurrent hemospermia and refractory medical treatment. All patients had hypospermia and alteration of the seminal parameters represented by moderate oligospermia (MOS), asteno- and teratozoospermia, in addition to hemospermia in two patients. Diagnosis was confirmed by transrectal ultrasound. Transurethral resection (TUR) of the cyst was performed in two cases and resection of the veru montanum in one, obtaining improvement in the seminal parameters after 1 month of follow-up and acceptable parameters for spontaneous conception at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: Infertility associated with partially obstructed ejaculatory ducts may be suspected clinically by hypospermia. Transrectal ultrasound is essential to confirm the diagnosis. TUR of this lesion reestablishes the free passage of semen in almost all patients, with potential recovery of fertility 6 months after treatment.

Congenital imperforate submandibular duct in a newborn.

Varried conditions such as ranula, epidermal/dermal inclusion cyst, lymphatic cyst, thyroglossal cyst, sialolithiasis, branchial cleft cyst are known to produce swelling in the floor of mouth. Rarely imperforate or duplication anomaly of submandiblar duct may produce cystic lesion in the floor of mouth. We present a case of congenital imperforate submandibular duct with cyst formation in a newborn. We also review the literature regarding management.

Primary Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of a Seminal Vesicle Cyst Associated with Ectopic Ureter and Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis: a Case Report

Primary adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicles is a rare neoplasm. Congenital seminal vesicle cysts are commonly associated with unilateral renal agenesis or dysgenesis. To the best of our knowledge, mucinous adenocarcinoma of the seminal vesicle cyst that's associated with an ectopic ureter opening into the seminal vesicle and ipsilateral renal agenesis has not been described in the radiological literature. We report here on the radiological findings of a primary adenocarcinoma of a seminal vesicle cyst in this condition.

Quiste laríngeo congénito: una rara causa de estridor en niños / Congenital laryngeal cyst: a rare cause of stridor in children

Introducción: Los quistes laríngeos congénitos (QLC) son una causa rara de estridor en niños. Objetivo: Describir las características clínicas del QLC como responsable de estridor atípico. Caso clínico: Una lactante sana fue evaluada por cuadro agudo de disfonía y estridor asociado a dificultad respiratoria progresiva en ausencia de pródromo respiratorio viral. La nasofibrolaríngoscopía demostró una masa en el ventrículo laríngeo y pliegue aritenoepiglótico izquierdo de 1 cm. La tomografía computada sugirió un QLC único, por lo que se procedió a marsupialización con resección de sus paredes. La evolución fue favorable, con controles posteriores hasta por 3 meses, observando una progresiva disminución del proceso inflamatorio. Conclusiones: Los QLC son una causa de estridor atípico que requieren alta sospecha. Se resalta la necesidad de considerar el estudio anatómico de la vía aérea en todo niño con estridor de curso infrecuente.
