A rare combination of hepatic and pericardial hydatid cyst and review of literature.

Highlights • This case presentation, emphasizes the typical manifestations of hepatic but associated asymptomatic pericardial HCs.• Hepatic hydatid cyst presenting as a painless abdominal lump preceded painful presentation for a few months.• Asymptomatic pericardial hydatid cyst could have presented with pericardial tamponade due to rupture, if ignored further.• The origin of the pericardial hydatid cyst could have been due to trans diaphragmatic passage of scolices from the hepatic location, as the usual pulmonary involvement was absent.

Intrapulmonary teratoma: Report of a case and review of literature:

Intrapulmonary teratomas are rare tumors that are presumed to develop in association with mediastinal teratomas. This report describes the management of a rare case of a benign cystic intrapulmonary teratoma in the left upper lobe in a 26-year-old lady, which was successfully treated by lobectomy, with no recurrence after 4 years of follow-up.

Double valve replacement in a case of dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis

The incidence of situs inversus totalis is 1/10,000 to 1/50,000 live births. A 43-year-old female patient was incidentally diagnosed to have situs inversus totalis with severe mitral and aortic stenosis. The patient was thoroughly assessed, and the plan of surgery was modified accordingly. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, the mitral valve and aortic valve were replaced with 27-size and 19-size St. Jude medical mechanical valve, respectively, while the operating surgeon stood on left side. The postoperative period was uneventful. Thorough assessment and preoperative planning are essential for success in such cases.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of lung in an adult female—a rare case

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor occurs primarily in the viscera and soft tissue of children and young adults. This tumor is potentially malignant because of its tendency for local recurrence and its ability to metastasize. It is composed of a variable mixture of collagen, inflammatory cells, and usually bland spindle cells showing myofibroblastic differentiation. We report a 38-year-old female diagnosed with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor preoperatively and has undergone right upper and middle lobectomy through fifth intercostal space for the same. Post-operative histopathology corroborated with preoperative diagnosis.
