Post-surgical chylous ascites (CA) is extremely rare in colon surgery, known as the extravasation of creamy fluid rich in triglycerides accumulating in the peritoneal cavity. The incidence of CA after colorectal surgery remains between 1 and 6.5%.

- Leser-Trelat sign is a rare syndrome marked by the sudden eruption of multiple seborrheic keratoses, often linked to serious gastrointestinal cancers, especially adenocarcinomas of the stomach and colon.
- A 70-year-old man exhibited this sign alongside persistent abdominal pain, weight loss, and a significant mid-abdominal mass identified through imaging, prompting further surgical investigation.
- This case uniquely reports a foreign body granuloma found in association with the Leser-Trelat sign, suggesting potential connections that require further research to clarify the relationship between the two.
Proliferating trichilemmal tumor (PTT) is a rare cutaneous adnexal neoplasm of the hair follicle that undergoes outer root sheath differentiation in the isthmus. Histological hallmarks include trichilemmal keratinization, lack of granular layer and lobular proliferation of squamous epithelium with glycogenated clear cells. It affects predominantly elderly women, especially over the scalp.

Methods: From January 2017 to January 2018, a prospective cohort study was implemented using a RIP with hepatoscintigraphy (HIDA) or CT scan (first available, goal within 4 h) in patients (n = 52) presenting with highly suspected AC and a clinical feature score of ≥1. For the latter, the following presenting features were scored as follows: 1 point for WBC count ≥10,000 (10/L), 1.
Objective: Hybrid operative thrombectomy (HOT) is a novel technique for the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (IFDVT) and is an alternative to percutaneous techniques (PTs) that use thrombolytics. In this study, we compare perioperative and intermediate outcomes of HOT vs PT as interventions for early thrombus removal.
Methods: From July 2008 to May 2015, there were 71 consecutive patients who were treated with either PT (n = 31) or HOT (n = 40) for acute or subacute single-limb IFDVT.
