RESUMO
Mature cystic teratomas are the most common ovarian neoplasm in patients younger than 20 years. Its complications include torsion, rupture, infection and malignant degeneration. Infection of teratoma is an uncommon event. We are reporting the first ever case of infected mature cystic teratoma presented as a chronic discharging sinus via umbilicus. 30 years old young primipara presented with complaint of seropurulent discharge from umbilicus for 6 months. Ultrasonography showed right sided complex adnexal mass. Umbilical exploration revealed sinus tract travelling deep into the pelvis attached to right ovarian mass. Salpingo- oopherectomy was done on right side and sinus tract excised. Cut-section of specimen showed heterogeneous mass of soft tissue with intact capsule containing hairs, cheesy white purulent material, fat and cartilage. Biopsy was suggestive of mature ovarian cystic teratoma.
RESUMO
Desmoid tumors (also called desmoids fibromatosis) are rare slow growing benign and musculoaponeurotic tumors. Although these tumors have a propensity to invade surrounding tissues, they are not malignant. These tumors are associated with women of fertile age, especially during and after pregnancy. We report a young female patient with a giant desmoid tumor of the anterior abdominal wall who underwent primary resection. The patient had no history of an earlier abdominal surgery. Preoperative evaluation included abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The histology revealed a desmoid tumor. Primary surgical resection with immediate reconstruction of abdominal defect is the best management of this rarity. To the best of our knowledge and PubMed search, this is the first case ever reported in the medical literature of such a giant desmoid tumor arising from anterior abdominal wall weighing 6.5 kg treated surgically with successful outcome.
