Axillary Cystic Lymphangioma in an Adult: A Case Report.

Lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system most often reported in children. Its occurrence in adults is rare. It usually develops in the head, neck, and axillary region.

Defining Critical View of Safety During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: The Preoperative Predictors of Failure.

Background Defining critical view of safety (CVS) is one of the most crucial steps during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study aimed to determine the preoperative predictors of failure to achieve CVS during LC. Methods All patients undergoing LC from December 2020 to July 2022 were prospectively included.

Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection After Cholecystectomy: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous micro-organisms that can cause skin, soft tissue, and respiratory infections. Some of these bacteria are resistant to the commonly used disinfectants in hospitals and lead to wound infections after surgery. The diagnosis of NTM infections requires a high index of clinical suspicion as their clinical presentation often overlaps with other bacterial infections.

Ileocolic Intussusception in an Adult Due to Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp: A Case Report.

The ileocolic region is the most common site of intussusception. It occurs mostly in children but can also occur in adults. Ileal tumors and polyps can cause ileocolic intussusception.

Hypertrophic Perianal Herpes Mimicking Squamous Cell Cancer: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature.

Clinical practice frequently involves the discovery of perineal lesions. The human papillomavirus, molluscum contagiosum, and herpes simplex virus are to blame for the majority of these anogenital lesions. In the majority of cases, these lesions may be identified by their distinctive appearance.

Pancreatoduodenal Tuberculosis: A Rare Site of a Common Disease.

The most common site of abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is the ileocecal region. The duodenum and pancreas are rare sites of abdominal TB. It is usually observed in immunocompromised patients with miliary or disseminated TB.

Incidental Intestinal Schwannoma in a Patient of Ulcerative Colitis With Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction: A Case Report.

Gastrointestinal (GI) schwannomas are very rare. Among GI schwannoma, the most common site is the stomach. Very few cases of intestinal schwannoma have been reported in the literature.

Laparoscopic Removal of Retained Surgical Sponge After Caesarean Section: A Case Report.

Gossypiboma or textiloma denotes the formation of a mass lesion due to the development of foreign body reactions around the retained surgical item in the body. Most of the cases are asymptomatic in the initial postoperative period. Due to the dense adhesions, most of the cases of intra-abdominal gossypiboma are treated by an open approach.

Multifocal Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma of the Jejunal Mesentery.

Abdominal liposarcoma is most often located in the retroperitoneum. Small bowel mesentery is a rare site of liposarcoma. Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) is a rare variant of mesenteric liposarcoma with only 12 cases reported in the literature.

Essential Thrombocythemia Due to Janus Kinase 2 Mutation Unmasked After Splenectomy.

Reactive thrombocytosis after splenectomy is common and often self-limiting. However, thrombocytosis can be multifactorial, especially extreme thrombocytosis (platelet count > 100 x 10/cubic mm). It can lead to thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications.

Colonic Gangrene: A Sequela of Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Initially considered to be a respiratory disease, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is now recognized as a multisystem disease known to affect all the major organs, including the gastrointestinal system. Based on recent studies, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 causes dysregulation of multiple biological pathways, triggers an exaggerated immune response, and affects multiple organs. The gastrointestinal symptoms in COVID-19 are common but often overlooked.

Laparoscopic treatment of duplicate gallbladder with acute cholecystitis.

Duplication of gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the extrahepatic biliary tract. Patients with duplicate gallbladder who develop symptoms due to gallstones require surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in such cases is challenging due to altered biliary anatomy.
