Surgery for a symptomatic massive liver haemangioma.

Liver haemangiomas are the most common benign hepatic tumours, but secondary portal hypertension resulting from haemangiomas is exceedingly uncommon. We present a case of a man in his 50s who presented with a progressively enlarging mass in the right upper abdomen. CT of the liver revealed a large hypodense lesion involving the right lobe, with two smaller lesions in the left lobe.

Successful management of a rare case of gallbladder neuroendocrine carcinoma with tumor thrombi.

A gallbladder neuroendocrine neoplasm (GB‑NEN) is a bizarre heterogeneous neoplasm arising from neuroendocrine cells, which are present in minimal amounts on the GB mucosa either due to conversion of undifferentiated stem cells, chronic inflammation and resulting in pathological metaplasia or switching of GB adenocarcinoma to neuroendocrine one. Among all the GB malignancies, GB-NEN accounts for approximately 2.1%.

Pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery secondary to diverticulitis of the first part of duodenum: a rare presentation of upper gastrointestinal bleed.

Acute upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding is one of the most frequent presentations to a surgical emergency. Most of them respond to initial resuscitation, and a definite diagnosis is established as soon as possible, thereby helping the clinician in management. We present the diagnostic challenges that we faced with a 70-year-old man who presented with UGI bleed.

Primary Mammary Angiosarcoma: Literature Review.

Angiosarcomas of the breast are extremely rare, highly aggressive tumors of vascular origin comprising 0.04% of all malignant neoplasms of the breast. They can be classified into primary mammary angiosarcomas and cutaneous (secondary) angiosarcomas.

Systemic Melioidosis With Ruptured Splenic Abscess.

Melioidosis is a severe systemic disease caused by the bacterium , commonly found in soil, ground water, and ponds of endemic regions. It is transmitted to humans via percutaneous inoculation while working in these areas without protective clothing and footwear giving rise to the disease which has a high case fatality rate. It has a wide range of clinical manifestations, varying from asymptomatic infection to localized abscess formation to fulminating disease with multiple organ involvement and even death.

Comparison of Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy and Conventional Dressing on Wound Healing in Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), especially with respect to Indian population, is sparse.

Methodology: This randomized controlled trial included DFUs of Wagner's Grades 1 and 2.

Gallbladder perforation: a single center experience of 32 cases.

Backgrounds/aims: Gallbladder perforation is a rare but potentially fatal disease. We herein present our clinical experience in diagnosis and management of 32 cases of gallbladder perforation.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with inclusion of all cases of gallbladder perforation that presented to our hospital from January 2012 to November 2014.
