Sizzling Fat-Curative Endoscopic Resection of a Giant Lipoma Causing Colo-Colic Intussusception.

Giant colonic lipomas, tumors that infrequently occur in the gastrointestinal tract, can manifest as bleeding, abdominal pain and, in few cases, obstruction with intussusception. Surgery is usually the treatment of choice. We report the case of a 78 years-old woman with abdominal pain, constipation, and bleeding due to a giant lipoma of the sigmoid colon causing intussusception.

Transperineal excision of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors of the ischiorectal fossa: Case report of a rare tumor in a frequently forgotten anatomical region.

Introduction And Importance: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is an aggressive tumor that arises from peripheral nerves. Frequently associated with neurofibromatosis, its common localization is in the extremities, trunk (with paravertebral regions), neck and head. Some cases have been found in the pelvis or uterus.

Pesky Pesce: A Forgettable Fish Dinner with a Late Surprise, a Perianal Abscess.

Clinical presentation after ingestion of foreign body is a common finding in surgical practice. Perianal sepsis due to a foreign body is, usually, secondary to introduction via the trans-anal route. The case here reported is extremely rare since an ingested fishbone passed asymptomatically through most of the gastrointestinal tract, with resultant late-onset ischiorectal abscess.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Cryptoglandular Anal Fistula: Current State of Art.

Anal fistula is a common disease that needs surgical treatment to be resolved. Despite a variety of surgical options, the major problem is still to cure complex fistulas without any recurrence in the long-term follow-up but, at the same time, to avoid an impairment of continence. In recent years, one solution has been the application of mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue, especially in association with other treatments, such as the use of fibrin glue or the previous application of a seton.
