1/4. MRI and MRA of a giant hydrocoele in an infant.We present a 7-month-old boy with a giant abdominoscrotal hydrocoele associated with right leg oedema. US revealed an abdominoscrotal fluid-filled mass with a normal testis in the scrotum. MRI allowed precise delineation of the mass while MRA sequences showed extrinsic compression of the right iliac vein and its patency. Hydrocoelectomy and laparotomy were performed and confirmed the diagnosis. US followed by MRI are often necessary to diagnose and delineate giant hydrocoeles. MRA is a non-invasive elegant tool for the detection of vascular complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/4. Bilateral giant abdominoscrotal hydroceles complicated by appendicitis.Abdominoscrotal hydrocele is a rare entity, with fewer than 100 cases reported in children. Bilateral abdominoscrotal hydroceles are even less common, with 14 cases reported in children. Various complications of abdominoscrotal hydrocele have been reported in the literature. We present a 4-month-old boy with bilateral giant abdominoscrotal hydroceles who developed appendicitis apparently because of obstruction from the right hydrocele. We discuss the various imaging modalities used to establish the diagnosis and plan the operative approach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. Giant spermatocytic seminoma with massive hemorrhage into accompanying hydrocele: case report.A 59-year-old man was admitted with giant tumor of testis and massive hemorrhage into accompanying hydrocele. His clinical status had become worse quickly. The emergency resection of tumor with hematocele was performed. The diagnosis was made upon histological examination of the postoperative tissue and was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Spermatocytic seminoma was recognized. The surgical specimen comprised a tumor (26 cm x 28 cm x 17 cm) in size, weighed 2150 g. Tumor with hematocele achieved about 40 cm in diameter.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/4. Bilateral giant abdominoscrotal hydroceles in childhood.There is a paucity of cases in the literature describing the abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH). We report the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of a rapidly expanding giant bilateral ASH in a 4-month-old boy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
