Cystic pancreatic lymphangioma: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Lymphangiomas are benign vascular tumors arising from the lymphatic system. They commonly affect the head and neck regions. Pancreatic involvement is extremely rare. Even though they are rare, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients who present with pancreatic mass. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 6-year-old African male patient who presented with abdominal mass and dull aching pain of 6 months duration. He was examined and underwent excision, with biopsy showing pancreatic lymphangioma. CONCLUSION: These tumors are benign and slow growing and have potential to regress spontaneously. Thus, most literature agrees that surgical interventions should be reserved for symptomatic cases.

Polyorchidism during orchidopexy; A case report with review of literature.

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital urologic abnormality. It is usually diagnosed incidentally by imaging or during surgery. We report a case of triorchidism, in a 2 years old boy which was discovered during elective orchidopexy. The testes was localized in the inguinal region and was of normal size. We opted for orchidopexy of this supernumeray testis due to its size and its ability to reach the scrotum. The preservation of the supernumerary testis has been a controversial issue. This case report offers brief discussion of polyorchidism with review of similar literature.
