Gall Stone Ileus

Abstract Introduction Small bowel obstruction can be caused by multiple factors. We describe an unusual case of small bowel obstruction secondary to three rare factors: gallstone ileus, peritoneal encapsulation and congenital adhesional band. Case Presentation A seventy-nine-year-old male presented with a four-day history of obstipation and abdominal pain. CT abdomen pelvis revealed small bowel obstruction secondary to gallstone ileus. The patient was managed by laparotomy. The intraoperative findings revealed the presence of a congenital peritoneal encapsulation with an adhesional band and gallstone proximal to the ileo-caecal valve. Although there was some dusky small bowel, this recovered following the release of the band. Discussion Peritoneal Encapsulation is a rare congenital pathology resulting in the formation of an accessory peritoneal membrane around the small bowel. This condition is asymptomatic and rarely presents as small bowel obstruction. The diagnosis is often made at laparotomy. There are less than 60 cases reported in literature. Gallstone ileus is another rare entity caused by an inflamed gallbladder adhering to part of the bowel resulting in a fistula. Conclusions The rarity of these conditions mean that they are poorly understood. A combination of this triad of gall stone ileus in the presence of peritoneal encapsulation and congenital band has not been reported before. Knowledge of this would raise awareness, facilitate diagnosis and management of patients.

Abstract Background Pseudoaneurysm of ascending aorta is a rare but serious complication of cardiovascular surgeries and it infrequently occurs in the normal prosthetic graft materials. We share our experience with an unusual case of ascending aorta Dacron graft pseudoaneurysm caused by a fractured sternal wire. Case presentation A 34-year-old man, known case of Marfan syndrome, with history of two prior aortic surgeries for aneurysm of ascending aorta, arch and thoracoabdominal aorta, presented with hemoptysis. The hemoptysis originated from an aortobronchial fistula secondary to a huge ascending aorta Dacron graft pseudoaneurysm. The graft erosion and subsequent pseudoaneurysm was caused by a fractured sternal wire. Surgical repair of the pseudoaneurysm was performed successfully and a Gore-tex patch was placed behind the sternum over the graft to prevent further direct contact of the wire and the graft. Conclusion Sternal wires can damage the adjacent vascular grafts and lead to fatal complications such as pseudoaneurysm formation. Thus, preventive measures such as using sternal bands and placing a covering layer between the sternal wires and aortic grafts are recommended in patients with dilated or replaced ascending aorta.

Extramedullary Relapse

Abstract Background: Granulocytic sarcomas (GS) are very rare. If it occurs after complete remission of acute myeloblastic leukemia（AML）, it indicates a recurrence of AML and a poor prognosis. In such cases, relapse of leukemia occurs within a mean of 10 months following granulocytic sarcoma.Case presentation: Here we present an unusual case of 78-year-old male who presented with AML-M1 38 years ago. After complete remission from AML-M1 6 years later, he developed unusual multiple isolated extramedullary relapses. And the extramedullary relapse occurred 7 times and involved 8 anatomic sites during 15 years. Despite repeated relapses, treatment and physical damage, the patient managed to survive into 2016.However, we did not detect any signs of leukemia after 1992 and his bone marrow and peripheral blood remained normal Until his death. Immunohistochemical results of our case are all the same, suggesting that they were all derived from the recurrence of the same tumor.Conclusions: Extramedullary relapses may occur in AML patients after complete relieve and without the blood count and BM involvement. Accurate diagnosis of GS is important so the patient could to be treated timely. It is a challenge for the pathologist to make the diagnosis, and without immunohistochemistry (IHC), it may be misdiagnosed as another tumor.

Abstract Background Seminoma is the most common subtype of testicular cancer and occurs most commonly in patients aged 30–49 years, but decreases to a very low level in men in their 60s or older. Case presentation A 90-year-old Syrian man with a 6-year history of an increase in size of his right scrotum, presented to the urological clinic and, on clinical examination, the findings suggested testicular tumor. After orchiectomy and histology results based on microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations, a pure seminoma was diagnosed, so we describe in this case report the second-oldest patient with classical seminoma in the medical literature. Conclusion This case report has been written to focus on the probability of any type of testicular tumor occurring at any age or decade; urologists should consider seminoma as a differential diagnosis with any testicular swelling even in elderly patients.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> This report presents an unusual case of symptomatic vasospasm following resection of posterior fossa tumor in a 9-year-old female patient. To the best of our knowledge, only 6 pediatric cases of vasospasms as a complication of brain tumor surgery have been reported in the literature previously. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> After an uneventful 12 days postoperatively, the patient suddenly presented with acute neurological deterioration on the 13th day and MR angiography showed bilateral narrowing of the supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid artery and the proximal parts of the A1 and M1 segments. Hypervolemia and vasospasm treatments were administered, and the patient exhibited no neurological deficit at the time of discharge, confirmed via normal MRI. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Early diagnosis and intervention in case of suspected symptomatic cerebral vasospasm after pediatric posterior fossa tumor surgery are essential in order to achieve favorable outcomes.

Abstract Background Epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare tumor that generally occurs in the bladder, the parotid gland, or the skin of the neck. We describe an unusual case of primary epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma of the stomach and review the literature. Case presentation A 64-year-old woman presented with a lesion at the gastroesophageal junction. Histopathological examination showed irregularly sized round cells with low cytoplasmic content and eccentric nuclei. Mitotic figures were present. Fibrovascular septa and areas of necrosis were observed between tumor cells. Tumor cells were strongly positive for MyoD1, desmin, and myogenin, and weakly positive for actin, CD56, and PGP9.5. The ki-67 index was ≥90%. Conclusions Primary epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma of the stomach is extremely rare. Better awareness of this entity is necessary for early diagnosis and treatment.
