Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

29
Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...

Gross Anatomy of the Liver01:17

Gross Anatomy of the Liver

2.7K
The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is...

Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

4.6K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

Lipid Digestion01:06

Lipid Digestion

73.0K
Lipids are large molecules that are generally not water-soluble. Since most of the digestive enzymes in the human body are water-based, there are specific steps the body must take to break down lipids and make them available for use.

Summary

Intra-abdominal lipomas are rare benign tumors of fat, often asymptomatic. This case highlights a spindle cell lipoma in the mesentery, diagnosed via imaging and confirmed by histopathology, requiring surgical excision.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lipomas, benign tumors of mature fat, are common mesenchymal neoplasms but rarely occur in the intestinal mesentery.
  • Intra-abdominal lipomas are exceptionally rare and often asymptomatic, making their prevalence unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of intra-abdominal spindle cell lipoma.
  • To discuss the diagnostic modalities and management of mesenteric lipomas.

Main Methods:

  • A 60-year-old male presented with abdominal distension and pain.
  • Diagnostic imaging included ultrasonography (USG) and computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen.
  • Fine needle aspiration cytology (USG-guided) and exploratory laparotomy with histopathological confirmation were performed.

Main Results:

  • Imaging revealed multiple well-defined, fat-density lesions in the lower abdomen and pelvis.
  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of spindle cell lipoma.
  • Surgical excision of the mesenteric lipomas was successfully performed.

Conclusions:

  • Intra-abdominal lipomas, particularly in the mesentery, are rare and can be clinically silent.
  • Diagnosis relies on imaging (USG, CT) and histopathology.
  • Complete surgical excision is the definitive treatment with a favorable prognosis.
