Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the extra-hepatic bile duct: A case report.

Lymphoma is known to be a systemic lymphoproliferative malignancy, which is divided into two subtypes: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma originates from nodal and extranodal sites. In the staging of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the liver is implicated in 40% of cases; however, primary liver non-Hodgkin lymphoma represents <1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases.

Colorectal Surgery in the COVID-19 Era: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

(1) Background: To determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the management of colorectal cancer patients requiring surgery and to examine whether the restructuring of healthcare systems led to cancer stage upshifting or adverse treatment outcomes; (2) Methods: A systematic literature search of the MedLine, Scopus, Web of Science, and CNKI databases was performed (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021288432). Data were summarized as odds ratios (OR) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs); (3) Results: Ten studies were examined, including 26,808 patients. The number of patients presenting with metastases during the pandemic was significantly increased (OR 1.

p53 protein expression in synchronously occurring dedifferentiating stages of thyroid cancer in a patient with neurofibromas: A case report.

Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) have been hypothesized to arise from well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) due to frequently reported synchronous and metachronous occurrence. Loss of normal p53 function has been implicated in this dedifferentiation process. The current case report presents a 60-year-old male with multiple neurofibromas who underwent total thyroidectomy due to multiple palpable thyroid nodules.

Acute abdomen in the immunocompromised patient: WSES, SIS-E, WSIS, AAST, and GAIS guidelines.

Immunocompromised patients are a heterogeneous and diffuse category frequently presenting to the emergency department with acute surgical diseases. Diagnosis and treatment in immunocompromised patients are often complex and must be multidisciplinary. Misdiagnosis of an acute surgical disease may be followed by increased morbidity and mortality.

An Unusual Case of Mirizzi Syndrome With Double Spontaneous Gallbladder Fistulas With the Colon and the Duodenum Presenting As Acute Cholecystitis.

The Mirizzi syndrome is amongst the rarest complications of long-standing gallstone disease. It is an even rarer occurrence when concurrent with a cholecystoenteric or cholecystoduodenal fistula and might not include an accompanying gallstone ileus. Chronic cholecystitis is the primary etiology, but pre-operative diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms compared with acute cholecystitis.
