Ascites and pleural effusion associated with "fibroma-like ovarian" benign tumor is described as Meigs syndrome. Tumor extirpation resulted in ascites and pleural effusion resorption. This rather unusual syndrome, should not be overlooked.
Cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle is an extremely rare benign tumor, which to our findings has only been mentioned earlier in seven previous reports. It is a benign and mostly multilocular tumor, thought to originate from embryologic remnants. Preoperative diagnosis is rarely made. Complete extirpation is the correct treatment. We present this first Belgian case with a discussion of imaging techniques, symptomatology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Baker's cysts can produce pressure on draining lymphatics and veins in the knee, producing oedema of the lower leg. These cysts are often mistakenly treated as deep vein thrombosis.
Foreign bodies are very rare in the common bile duct. We report an unusual case of transient obstructive jaundice, due to a choledochal stone formed around an ingested woody fiber. Review of the literature.
