RESUMEN
The existence of a cystic mass which walls originated from a metastatic gallbladder adenocarcinoma is infrequent. We present the case of 68-year-old male that present to the emergency department with abdominal distention, hyporexia and jaundice. Upon exploratory laparotomy, a duodeno-colonic cyst with walls formed by metastatic cells derived from a Gallbladder Adenocarcinoma. Metastatic disease from a gallbladder adenocarcinoma to transverse colon and duodenum formed adherences between both organs, leading to the formation of cystic mass. Cancer cells have multiple adaptation mechanisms in order to survive harsh environments.
La existencia de un quiste cuyas paredes se originaron de una metástasis de adenocarcinoma de vesícula biliar es infrecuente. Varón de 68 años con distensión abdominal, hiporexia e ictericia. En la laparotomía exploratoria se evidencia un quiste duodeno-colónico de paredes conformadas por células metastásicas producto de un adenocarcinoma de vesícula biliar. La metástasis del adenocarcinoma de vesícula biliar hacia colon transverso y duodeno formaron adherencias entre ambos órganos, conduciendo a la formación de una masa quística. Las células cancerígenas pueden adaptarse de muchas maneras para sobrevivir en entornos adversos.

There has been a substantial increase in the number of children participating in organized competitive sports, which has led to a surge in the number of both acute and overuse injuries. To prevent further complications such as limb deformity and disability, radiologists must be familiar with typical overuse injury patterns in children. Traction apophysitis, chronic physeal injury, and stress fractures are the principal overuse injuries. This article reviews overuse injuries in children with an emphasis on the role of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
