Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract.

Presentation Of Case: 54-year-old woman with a history of phyllodes tumor of the left breast he patient was admitted to our hospital for management of retroperitoneal soft tissue tumor, attached to the fourth portion of the duodenum, opposite the head of the pancreas. The patient underwent a large excision of the tumor, the duodenojejunal flexure, and the third and fourth portions of the duodenum along with the head of the pancreas.

Acute hepatitis with portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis revealing SARS-CoV-2 infection: Case report and literature review.

Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a single-stranded RNA virus identified for the first time in Wuhan, China, and it unfurls quickly worldwide. The corona virus 2019 is a systemic disease which develops a prothrombotic environment, and has an extensive spectrum of clinical presentations in the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems. Ischemic hepatitis (hypoxic hepatitis) is one potential mechanism behind lessened perfusion of the liver.

A rare association of Vagus Nerve Schwannoma and Pheochromocytoma: A case report.

Vagus nerve schwannoma is a very rare benign nerve tumor. Pheochromocytoma is a rare, mostly benign tumor of the adrenal medulla with a large clinical spectrum. Their association is uncommon.

Giant symptomatic adrenal myelolipoma: A case report.

Introduction: Adrenal myelolipomas are rare non-functioning benign tumors composed of adipose and hematopoietic tissues. Most AMLs are discovered incidentally and represent the second most common adrenal incidentaloma.

Case Presentation: A 58-years-old female patient, obese with a history of diabetes and blood hypertension presented with complaints of pain in the left flank.

Colostomy orifice complications: a case report of a prolapsed colostomy with necrosis of the eviscerated greater omentum.

Evisceration and necrosis of the greater omentum at the site of a prolapsed colostomy is a rare situation. Considered an early stoma complication, it often occurs during the first month after surgery. We report the observation and our attitude to such a situation in a 56-year-old patient who underwent initial surgery for a locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma after receiving neoadjuvant radio-chemotherapy.

Partial Splenectomy for a Sizeable Cavernous Hemangioma: Case Report and a Review of the Literature.

The recent awareness of the spleen's important role, especially its immune function, has fundamentally changed the management of splenic diseases, promoting the splenic preserving surgery, and protecting from the significant risk of total splenectomy: overwhelming post-splenectomy sepsis. Partial splenectomy is a safe and feasible technique that offers, according to the literature, the same results of a total approach, either in achieving hematological benefits in congenital hemolytic anemia, or treating the focal splenic lesion such as hemangioma, while preserving the immune function.
