This appearance on a plain abdominal film of a 30 year-old woman was an incidental finding. The calcification seen in the left side of the pelvis is the typical appearance of an ovarian dermoid cyst.
Dermoid cyst is a loose term given to cysts are various sites lined by squamous epithelium.
This 70 year-old man presented with a one month history of jaundice, pale stools and dark urine. He had been generally unwell with right upper quadrant pain and weight loss for approximately three months prior to admission. A liver ultrasound showed multiple hepatic metastases. An ERCP showed obstruction within the porta hepatitis suggestive of portal lymphadenopathy. A stent could not be inserted endoscopically.
