Two complex pediatric surgical cases were presented by the Montreal Children's Hospital team. The first case involved a 9-year-old girl with a pelvic cyst that was ultimately determined to be an urethral cyst after surgical resection and pathologic examination. The second case presented a 13-year-old girl with acute abdominal pain who was diagnosed with isolated fallopian tube torsion, a rare condition that was successfully treated with a right salpingectomy. Both cases were discussed in detail, including clinical presentations, imaging findings, surgical procedures, and pathologic results, with the team engaging in detailed discussions about differential diagnoses, management approaches, and post-operative considerations. The discussion also included questions and comments from attendees, particularly regarding the etiology and treatment of isolated fallopian tube torsion, with the team sharing their experience and knowledge about this rare condition.
