Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine found within an inguinal hernia sac: a case report.

Inguinal hernias and intra-abdominal malignancy are both common phenomena and their co-existence cannot be rare. Colon carcinomas are reported to be the most common cause of both intrasaccular and saccular tumours (1) but the occurrence of small intestine carcinoma inside an inguinal hernia has not been reported. We describe the first case--a leiomyosarcoma of the ileum--which was also complicated by irreduction.

Isolated hydatid cyst of the breast.

Although common in sheep-breeding communities, hydatid disease is actually found worldwide. Man is an occasional intermediate host in whom the disease is manifested by the presence of one or more hydatid cysts, usually located in the liver or lung and rarely at other sites such as the breast, as in our patient. A case of an isolated breast involvement that was diagnosed during surgery is presented and is followed by a brief discussion on the topic.

Ectopic liver tissue attached to the gallbladder.

A 55-year old woman underwent cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis. The removed gallbladder showed a serosal encapsulated nodule, measuring 14 x 6 mm, that histologically was an ectopic functioning liver. This nodule had no connection with the main liver. Accessory liver tissue is nearly always an incidental finding in the course of operations and postmortem examinations. It arises in the neighbourhood of the gallbladder from residual liver cells in the caudal part of the embryonic liver; it may also be found in some other organs and structures in close proximity to the liver during fetal life.

Nocardia asteroides cerebral abscess in a renal transplant recipient: short report.

Opportunist central nervous system infections occur in about 5% to 10% of all renal transplant recipients, but reports of brain abscesses are very rare (1). Nocardia asteroides cerebral abscesses are scarce intracranial lesions. They account for only 2% of brain abscesses (2). Published data about these lesions have taken the form of short reports, small cases series and reviews. A universally accepted and effective treatment approach has not yet been established. We present a renal transplant patient with a cerebral abscess caused by Nocardia asteroides.
