Squamous cell carcinoma arising from a congenital duplication cyst of the esophagus in a young adult

DISEASES OF THE ESOPHAGUS, Issue 3-4 2001
S. Singh
Squamous cell carcinomas arising from the congenital anomalies in the esophagus are rare. One such case of an 18-year-old man, with an associated history of ventricular septal defect, who developed an epithelial malignancy within the duplication cyst extending to involve the lower third of esophagus is presented here. He responded well to radical treatment using concurrent chemo-irradiation, and continues to be free of disease after a follow-up of 14 months. [source]

Sonographic features of ileal duplication cyst at 12 weeks

PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS, Issue 12 2002
Min Chen
Abstract Enteric duplication cyst is a congenital abnormality that is believed to arise from abnormal recanalization of the bowel during embryogenesis. Previous reports suggest that the condition may be suspected prenatally by sonographic demonstration of an intra-abdominal cystic mass in the second and third trimesters. We present the sonographic features of a fetus with ileal duplication cyst at 12 weeks of gestation, which show that the condition may present in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Communicating oesophageal duplication cyst with heterotopic pancreatic tissue , an unusual cause of recurrent pneumonia in an infant

ACTA PAEDIATRICA, Issue 9 2010
Preena Uppal
Abstract Communicating oesophageal duplication cyst with heterotopic pancreatic tissue is rare congenital anomaly and unusual cause of recurrent pneumonia in children. We report a 10-month-old boy who presented with history, examination and investigations suggestive of aspiration pneumonia since birth. The imaging studies revealed a thin walled cavity communicating with the oesophageal lumen that was excised by surgery. Histopathology showed squamous epithelial lining of cyst with heterotopic pancreatic tissue. Conclusion:, Communicating oesophageal cyst causing persistent signs and symptoms can be an unusual cause of recurrent pneumonia in an infant that can be diagnosed by further imaging studies.

Mediastinal gastroenteric cyst in a neonate containing respiratory-type epithelium and pancreatic tissue

PEDIATRIC PULMONOLOGY, Issue 12 2009
Eleftherios Anagnostou MD
Abstract Mediastinal gastroenteric cyst is an uncommon congenital malformation and a distinct histopathological entity within the family of foregut duplication cysts. This lesion is mainly encountered in neonates and infants. Histologically, it is characterized by double-layered smooth muscle wall and gastric lining mucosa. We report on a case of a 2-day-old girl, with a posterior mediastinal cystic mass associated with T3,T4 hemivertebrae, presenting with severe respiratory distress. The cyst was multilocular, surgically removed, and histopathologic analysis revealed that it was of gastroenteric type. However, in numerous areas of the lesion, respiratory-type epithelium was observed, as well as pancreatic tissue. After removal of the lesion the patient made an uneventful recovery and shows no signs of long-term pulmonary sequelae. We failed to demonstrate in the available literature the presence of this variable epithelial lining within a single mediastinal foregut cyst. In addition, pancreatic tissue within an intrathoracic enteric cyst has been reported only twice. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2009; 44:1240,1243. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

HP10 LAPAROSCOPIC RESECTION OF SUBMUCOSAL GASTRIC LESIONS , THE WHANGAREI EXPERIENCE

ANZ JOURNAL OF SURGERY, Issue 2007
J. Y. Yang
Purpose To evaluate safety of laparoscopic resection of submucosal gastric lesions performed in Whangarei Based Hospital. Methodology From November 2002 to December 2006, 8 consecutive patients underwent the above mention surgery. (M : F = 5 : 3; Average age 63 [range, 43,83]). All patients underwent pre-operative gastroscopy. Wedge resections were performed for anterior wall lesions. (n = 3). Posterior wall lesions were resected via transgastric approach. (n = 4). Retroperitoneal resection was performed for the foregut duplication cyst. (n = 1). All except one lesion were resected using endoscopic GIA stapler. The medical records of the patients were reviewed retrospectively. Results All patients were successfully treated laparoscopically. No conversion to open surgery. Pathology included: Gastrointestinal-stromal tumor (GIST) (n = 5), Malignant leiomyosarcoma (n = 1), Ectopic pancreas (n = 1), and Foregut duplication cysts (n = 1). All achieved adequate negative surgical margin. Average operation time was 106.14 minutes. [Range, 75,150]. Average length of hospital stay was 3.42 days [range, 1,5]. Complication included one wound infection, and one pyloric stenosis. Average length of follow up was 10.96 months [range, 0.46,31.73]. No recurrence detected and all are still alive till date. Conclusion Laparoscopic resection of submucosal gastric lesions is a safe and appropriate alternative to open surgery. Its main advantage over open technique includes shorter length of hospital stay, lower recurrence rate and lower mortality rates. Surgical technique depends very much on tumor size and location. Outcome of the patients described from our centre is comparable to the others published till date. [source]
