Intrapulmonary ectopic liver.

Abstract

A case of intrapulmonary ectopic liver in a patient who had undergone right-sided diaphragmatic hernia is described. The intrapulmonary ectopic liver was found incidentally in chest x-ray at the age of 6 years. The final diagnosis was established at thoracotomy. Fewer than 10 cases of intrathoracic ectopic liver have been reported previously, but an intrapulmonary ectopic liver like the present case has not been described previously.

Intrapancreatic gastric duplication cyst presenting as lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

This report describes a rare foregut malformation of a noncontiguous gastric duplication cyst embedded within the body and tail of the pancreas. An 8-month-old boy presented with massive malena of 3 days' duration. The laparotomy showed an intrapancreatic cyst with bleeding and ulcer perforation into a loop of adherent jejunum. Histologically, the cyst contained gastric mucosa. This is believed to be the first reported instance of an intrapancreatic gastric duplication causing massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding in an infant.
