Unusual gastric localization of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Primary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare subgroup of mesenchymal tumors. Gastric localization is extremely rare, and patients may present with abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass. Here, we present a case of gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor revealed by abdominal pain, which was treated with wide local excision.

Primary mantle-cell lymphoma of small intestine presenting with intussusceptions: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which accounts for 5 % of all cases. Patients present with an advanced form of the disease. We present here a case of ileocolic intussusception secondary to mantle cell lymphoma which was revealed by abdominal pain and vomiting that was treated by surgical resection followed by chemotherapy.

Enteric fistulization of a common iliac vein aneurysm.

Iliac vein aneurysm is rare. Its complications include rupture, thromboembolism, and enteric fistulization. If a patient with surgical history presents with gastrointestinal bleeding, the veno-enteric fistula should be part of the differential diagnoses.

Gastrointestinal bleeding due to jejunal metastasis of pleomorphic lung carcinoma: a case report.

Unlabelled: Gastrointestinal metastasis of pleomorphic lung cancer presents with nonspecific manifestations, leading to delayed diagnosis. Herein, the authors report the case of a 56-year-old patient who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding due to pleomorphic lung carcinoma.

Case Presentation: A 56-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with melena.

Gallstone ileus: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Gallstone ileus (GI) is defined as the occlusion of the intestinal lumen due to the impaction of one or more gallstones. The optimal management of GI is not consensual. We report a rare case of GI with a successful surgical treatment for a 65 year-old-female.

Primary splenic lymphoma discovered on massive splenomegaly: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Malignant lymphoma occurs in all the systemic organs. Rarely, large B-cell lymphoma is located in the spleen, making the diagnosis difficult. Herein, we report a patient presenting with massive splenomegaly due to LBCL.

Predicting Intestinal Ischaemia in Patients with Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction: A Simple Score.

Background/aims: Intestinal ischaemia (II) is the most critical factor to determine in patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) because intestinal ischaemia could be reversible. The aim of this study was to create a clinicoradiological score to predict II in patients with ASBO.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including 124 patients with ASBO.

C-reactive Protein Is the Best Biomarker to Predict Advanced Acute Cholecystitis and Conversion to Open Surgery. A Prospective Cohort Study of 556 Cases.

Background: White blood cell levels (WBC) is the only biologic determinant criterion of the severity assessment of acute cholecystitis (AC) in the revised Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18). The aims of this study were to evaluate the discriminative powers of common inflammatory markers (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP)) compared with WBC for the severity of AC, and the risk for conversion to open surgery and to determine their diagnostic cutoff levels.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study.
