[Cystic lymphangioma of the adrenal gland, from radiologic diagnosis to laparoscopic treatment. A case report]. / Lymphangiome kystique de la surrénale, du diagnostic radiologique au traitement laparoscopique. A propos d'une observation.

[Rupture of hydatid cyst of the liver into the duodenum. A case report]. / Kyste hydatique du foie rompu dans le duodénum. A propos d'un cas.

BACKGROUND: Rupture of hydatid cyst in the digestive tract is a rare complication even in endemic areas. AIM: Authors report a case of a hydatid cyst of the left hepatic lobe ruptured in the duodenum CASE: was discovered at the occasion of epigastric pain and vomiting. Ct-scan revealed presence of air in a calcified hydatid cyst of the left liver lobe and a fistulous tract between the cyst and the duodenum. Endoscopy confirmed the diagnosis by the visualisation of a fistulous orifice of the anterior aspect of the first duodenum with a protrusion of hydatid membrane. Patient was treated surgically and had a partial cysto-pericystectomy and suture of duodenum.
