A case report of primary multiple hydatid cysts of psoas muscle: An exceptional location.

The psoas muscle localization is even more exceptional when they are multiple. The clinical and radiological features were often misleading. This case report aimed to highlight the difficulties of radiological diagnosis and the dilemma of choosing the best operative approach. A 27 year-old-men with no past medical history has been consulted for right down abdominal quadrant pain. Physical examination revealed a painless abdominal mass. An abdominal CT Scan concluded with the presence of two multisectional cystic lesions. The first cystic lesion had an exophytic development, and the second cystic lesion was in the posterior and lateral sides of the psoas muscle. The hemaglutinin reaction and the Western blot were positive. A laparotomy was done. The exploration objective is a first psoas muscle hydatid cyst of 5 cm with an exophytic development just behind the vermiform appendix with a second hydatid cyst of 15 cm. The puncturing and aspiration of the cystic fluid bring a clear hydatid fluid. Parasitic sterilization was performed by injecting a scoliosis solution, hypertonic serum, into the cystic lesion. After ten minutes, we resected the two cystic lesions' protruding dome. We have aspirated the fluid and all the daughter hydatid cysts from the two hydatid cysts. The postoperative follow-up was uneventful. The primary hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle often causes a problem of its hydatid nature. Surgery remains the only curative treatment. It avoids the risk of complications such as peritoneal rupture, which can modify the surgical therapeutic strategy.

Pleomorphic spermatic cord liposarcoma: A case report and review of management.

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is very rare, representing about 7% of para testicular sarcomas. It is considered to be one of the highest malignancy grades. We present a case of a liposarcoma of the spermatic cord in a 45-year-old male complaining of a progressive painless swelling in the right inguinoscrotal region. Ultrasonography and computed tomography findings were compatible with liposarcoma of the spermatic cord. We performed a right radical orchiectomy with a wide resection of the mass. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis and showed a pleomorphic subtype. The mainstay of management of spermatic cord liposarcoma is wide excision with radical orchiectomy. The most important factors for prognosis are the histologic subtype and surgical margin status. Adjuvant radiotherapy should be considered in cases at high risk for local recurrence. Long-term surveillance is mandatory. Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is an uncommon para testicular tumor which should be part of the differential diagnosis of inguinoscrotal mass. A radical inguinal orchiectomy with wide resection of the soft tissue mass and the spermatic cord are the key to longest local and systemic disease-free survival.
