INTRODUCTION: @entity438 are potentially lethal lesions. We report two illustrative cases and discuss etiology, diagnosis and treatment of these @entity439 . OUTLINE OF CASES: Both @entity1 , age 31 and 80 years, were biparous @entity1 .The younger @entity1 , otherwise healthy, was referred from a local hospital 3 weeks after she underwent a left subcostal laparotomy and exploration for symptomatic abdominal mass diagnosed by CT. Angiography established the diagnosis of a large, non- @entity1756 . Elective aneurysmectomy with splenectomy was performed using the approach through the upper median laparotomy and bursa omentalis. Postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathology demonstrated @entity39 with chronic dissection. The other @entity1 , elderly @entity1 , presented urgently with acute @entity490 and @entity1163 and was diagnosed by computed tomography with a huge, @entity1756 . She underwent immediate aneurysmectomy with splenectomy using the same, above-mentioned approach. @entity3472 and @entity260 , requiring open pseudocyst drainage and cystojejunostomy. After a protracted hospitalization @entity1 eventually recovered. The pathological diagnosis was @entity731 . CONCLUSION: @entity438 are infrequent lesions, with varied etiology and clinical presentation. Timely diagnosis and adequate treatment prevent life-threatening @entity397 and lessen the risk of operative morbidity and mortality.
