Appendiceal intussusception presenting as a caecal mass

@#Introduction: The differential diagnosis of caecal mass is broad and the inclusion of appendiceal pathologies is an important element. Case Report: We report a 37-year-old woman with recurrent right iliac fossa pain. Computed tomography scan revealed a caecal mass suggesting complete inversion or intussusception of the appendix, which was confirmed by pathologic microscopic examination. This case report discusses appendiceal intussusception with emphasis on diagnosis and treatment options. Discussion: Appendiceal intussusception is a rare entity and the complete type typically presents as a polypoid lesion located at the appendiceal orifice in the caecum. It is imperative to include this entity in the differential diagnosis of caecal mass, especially during colonoscopy, as the removal of this polypoid lesion can result in a devastating caecal perforation or haemorrhage.

Cutaneous ciliated cyst

Cutaneous ciliated cysts are rare benign lesions that typically appear on the lower extremities in young females, shortly after puberty. We report a seventeen-year-old female who presented with a gradually increasing painless swelling over the anterior aspect of the right ankle. On examination, a non-tender 3.7x3.7 cm soft cystic swelling was found. Examination of the skin above the cyst showed no clinical finding. Ultrasound revealed a cystic lesion. Histopathological examination confirmed a rare cutaneous ciliated cyst

Retroperitoneal schwannoma, incidental detection - case report King Hamad University Hospital Bahrain

Shwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors that mostly occur in the head and neck, extremities, and mediastinum. These rarely present as retroperitoneal masses. A case was reported of an incidentally detected retroperitoneal shwannoma in a 32-year-old female. Schwannomas, the benign nerve sheath tumors, grow slowly but they may cause pain, weakness, numbness, or stay asymptomatic. Symptoms depend on the location and size of the tumor. Sometimes the patients, who present to the Accidents and Emergency with vague abdominal pain. Imaging incidentally may detect a pelvic lesion that is always diagnosed on histopathology after complete resection
