Lymphangioma is an unusual lymphatic system malformation that rarely affects adults' mesentery. Even though it a benign tumor, its capacity to grow and affect nearby structures can cause severe morbidity even mortality in specific patients. As symptoms are nonspecific, highlighted clinical insight needed reach diagnosis. We present case of 60-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain suffered acute abdomen due lymphangioma the mesentery small bowel; after complete resection, patient...
Abstract Pericardial lymphangiomas are exceptionally rare and affect both children adults. Although they usually asymptomatic, can cause symptoms secondary to the mass effect, from syncope or palpitations arrhythmia congestive heart failure. The most reliable diagnostic methods echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, with subsequent confirmation by histopathology. Its treatment consists of complete surgical resection. We present case a 2-year-old female patient...
As the weight of adult population continues to increase, bariatric surgery has emerged as best available treatment achieve lasting and significant loss. However, with all medical procedures, post-operative complications can will continue occur. Among those rare Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is necrosis remnant, a severe near-fatal complication that be deadly if left untreated.

Mesenteric cysts are rare tumors, they can emerge from any part of the mesentery bowel duodenum to rectum. Their symptomatology mimic almost abdominal disease making diagnosis troublesome. In some circumstances, these grow considerable sizes resection impossible since its size compromise different structures. Surgery is treatment choice as complete only curative treatment. We present a case female patient, she suffered recurrent episodes pain mistaken gastritis. After profound evaluation,...
Cholecystitis is a common gallbladder pathology characterized by abdominal pain, positive Murphy sign and elevated white blood count. Abdominal ultrasound usually gives definite diagnosis. Duplication of the rare congenital anomaly that can either be asymptomatic or present with symptoms associated cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, cholangitis pancreatitis. Clinically indistinguishable from regular pathologies. The management duplicated similar to other diseases, if one both gallbladders cause...
Situs inversus totalis is a rare genetic condition characterized by the transposition of organs to opposite side body, consequently, clinical syndromes show an atypical picture creating challenge for surgery team and predisposing delays in treatment diagnosis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy gold standard acute cholecystitis, patients with situs inversus, laparoscopic technique must be modified accommodate patient's anatomy.We present case 55-year-old male patient without any past medical...
Abstract Dysphagia is a common condition in clinical practice; however, an unusual type of dysphagia due to compression the esophagus by abnormal right subclavian artery may be discovered rare subset patients.

We present case patient from Ecuadorean Amazon region with limited access drinking water. She presented emergency room...
Liposarcomas are rare malignant tumors that mostly develop in the retroperitoneum. They have a broad behavioral spectrum, from small masses of tissue to highly aggressive tumors. The dedifferentiation process occurs up 10% and it's most likely occur retroperitoneum, not only changes its components but also prognosis. These can grow massive size since them do give any symptoms until they invade adjacent structures. Timely detection surgery could avoid all these potentially lethal scenarios....
Mucinous cystadenomas are a common benign neoplasm of the ovaries that can grow much larger than other adnexal masses; they recognized as precursors ovarian cancer and may slowly transform to borderline tumors invasive cancer.
