Successful Laparoscopic Resection of Biliary Cystadenoma: A Case Report.

Biliary cystadenomas are rare hepatic lesions originating from the biliary epithelium. We present the case of a 32-year-old female who presented with persistent right upper quadrant abdominal pain, prompting a thorough investigation. Mildly elevated liver enzymes were noted on laboratory testing. Imaging studies, including a contrast-enhanced CT scan, revealed a 14 cm multiloculated cystic lesion in the right lobe of the liver. A biliary cystadenoma was confirmed, leading to a collaborative decision for laparoscopic resection. Intraoperative findings and histopathological examination supported the diagnosis, and the patient had an uneventful recovery postoperatively. This case report underscores the clinical complexity of biliary cystadenomas and highlights the successful multidisciplinary management of a young patient through laparoscopic resection. The case contributes valuable insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with these uncommon hepatic lesions.

A Case Report on Fibromuscular Dysplasia With Extrarenal Involvement.

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a vascular disorder characterized by nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory arterial abnormalities, primarily affecting renal arteries. While extrarenal involvement is rare, it poses diagnostic challenges due to diverse clinical presentations. We present the case of a middle-aged female who presented with sudden-onset severe abdominal pain and hypertension. Physical examination revealed tenderness, guarding, and hypertensive urgency. Diagnostic workup, including laboratory investigations and computed tomography, identified multifocal arterial stenosis in both renal and mesenteric arteries, consistent with fibromuscular dysplasia. A multidisciplinary team initiated antihypertensive medications and performed angioplasty to address vascular stenosis. The patient showed significant improvement post intervention, highlighting the efficacy of a comprehensive management strategy. This case underscores the clinical complexities of fibromuscular dysplasia, emphasizing the diagnostic challenges posed by extrarenal manifestations. The successful multidisciplinary intervention highlights the importance of timely and targeted measures in addressing both renal and extrarenal complications.
