Common medical ethics dilemmas: Few reflections from a Saudi perspective.

Medical ethics plays a crucial role in physicians' daily practice, as it reflects on themselves, their institution, and, most importantly, the outcome of the treatment they provide to their patients. Common medical ethics dilemmas faced in Saudi Arabia include: end-of-life care, patient rights, which comprise autonomy, informed consent, and confidentiality, reproductive ethics, and equity of resources. The identification of flaws within the healthcare system and the implementation of clear guidelines are important to overcome the risk of malpractice and flawed judgment, and ensure the delivery of the best possible care to patients.

Survival and prognostic factors of isolated pulmonary metastases originating from colorectal cancer: An 8-year single-center experience.

Background: Isolated pulmonary metastasis (IPM) is a rare entity that accounts for 10% of pulmonary metastases seen in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aims to evaluate the overall 5-year survival of IPM originating from CRC and identify potential prognostic factors affecting the overall survival (OS).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary care center.

Transduodenal resection of periampullary neuroendocrine tumor: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Periampullary tumors are characterized as tumors that emerge nearby to the major papilla in the duodenum. They are rare lesions with an incidence rate of 0.4-0.

Staged surgical approach for metastatic GIST, how far should we go? Case report.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that commonly arises from the stomach and proximal small intestine but can develop in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease can range from primary localized to an advanced metastatic unresectable disease in up to 30% of patients. Usually, metastasis involves the liver, peritoneum, and occasionally the lungs.

Huge solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas 'Frantz tumor': a case report.

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors and have a general female predominance. We report a case and intraoperative videos of SPN involving the whole pancreatic tail. A 19-year-old female patient initially presented to another healthcare facility complaining of abdominal pain, which was started 6 years ago.

A Diagnostic Dilemma of a Subcutaneous Hibernoma: Case Report.

BACKGROUND Subcutaneous lipomatous lesions are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Hibernoma is a rare subtype of the benign lipomatous tumor, representing 1% of all types. It poses a challenge due to the difficulty of differentiating it from atypical lipomatous lesions and liposarcomas, which may lead to possible inappropriate diagnosis and management.

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the pancreas, thyroid, & subcutaneous tissue 13 years after Radical nephrectomy: A case report.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of all adult malignancies and is known for its poor prognosis. At the time of diagnosis up to 30% of patients will present with metastasis. We report multiple metastases of RCC to rare sites; twice to pancreases, thyroid, twice to subcutaneous tissue, and the other kidney- occurring years after the radical nephrectomy.
