Symptomatic Giant Cavernous Haemangioma of the Liver: Is Enucleation a Safe Method?
Get PDFTwenty-three patients with symptomatic giant hemangioma of the liver were treated by surgery between 1979 and 1996 at the department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Çukurova. Twenty-three enucleations were performed in 21 patients, left lateral segmentectomy in one patient and enucleation plus left lobectomy in one patient. The tumors were enucleated along the interface between the hemangioma and normal liver tissue. The diameters of the tumors ranged from 5×5 to 25×15 cm. The mean blood loss for enucleations was 525 ml (range 500–1000 ml). There was no mortality and no postoperative bleeding. Three patients had postoperative complications. Enucleation is the best surgical technique for symptomatic giant hemangioma of the liver. It may be performed with no mortality, low morbidity and the preservation of all normal liver parenchyma

Giant renal hydatid cyst resembling a simple cyst: An intraoperative diagnosis
No full textPubMedID: 16307317An interesting case of a giant renal hydatid cyst is presented. The big cystic mass detected at ultrasonography (US) and computerized tomography (CT) in a ten-year-old girl looked like a simple cyst. No germinative membrane or any other radiological sign of a hydatid cyst was present. The operation was planned for a simple cyst; but was altered, after an intraoperative diagnostic needle sampling brought out the characteristic fluid of hydatid cyst. We came to the conclusion that hydatid cystic masses may not always present with their characteristic radiological findings; and that extreme caution should be practiced by the radiologist and the surgeon in order to prevent iatrogenic echinococcal dissemination. © Springer 2005
