Simultaneous Diagnosis of Acute Crohn's Disease and Endometriosis in a Patient Affects HIV.

This is the case report of a 45-year-old woman affected by HIV, who was hospitalized for diffuse abdominal pain, constipation, and weight loss present for over one month. A colonoscopy showed the presence of a nontransitable stenosis of the ascending colon. A right hemicolectomy was performed.

Duodenal metastasis from male breast cancer: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most frequent type of tumor and the second leading cause of death in women. Metastases are present in nearly 60% of cases at the time of diagnosis with the lymph nodes, skeleton, lungs, brain and liver as the most frequent sites of metastases. Gastrointestinal involvement is rare, present in only 10% of all the cases.

[Mucinous cystic tumour of the pancreas. A case report].

Although cystic neoplasms and lesions of the pancreas are rare (5% of exocrine tumours), they have attracted a great deal of attention because of their potential curability. In contrast to serous cystic neoplasms, which are generally benign, the mucinous variant is known to have considerable malignant potential. Most authorities agree that no imaging technique (US, CT, MRI) is sufficiently accurate to differentiate between the multiple benign, premalignant and malignant lesions that can be visualised.

[Rupture of voluminous atherosclerotic superficial femoral artery aneurysm].

Atherosclerotic aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery are very uncommon. We report a case of a ruptured superficial femoral artery aneurysm which was successfully treated surgically, and compare our data with those emerging from a review of the literature. We observed a 74-year-old man who presented with a suspected rupture of a superficial femoral artery aneurysm.

Association of multiple granular cell tumors and squamous carcinoma of the esophagus: case report and review of the literature.

This report describes the case of a man who underwent subtotal esophagectomy for the concomitant presence of a multifocal esophageal squamous carcinoma and a granular cell tumor (GCT); he had been previously affected by another metachronous esophageal GCT excised endoscopically. This is the sixth case described in the literature detailing other cases of a combination of malignancies involving additional organs. We emphasize the need for a prolonged surveillance of patients with multiple GCTs in order to promptly recognize the possibility of associated neoplasms.
