Novel surgical approach - cadaveric inferior vena cava graft reconstruction following leiomyosarcoma resection: A case report.

Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) leiomyosarcomas are rare and aggressive tumors. Complete cure depends on achieving R0 resection, which often requires circumferential resection and reconstruction. Synthetic grafts have traditionally been used when venous continuity must be restored.

Unusual collision tumor with infiltrating ductal carcinoma and breast skin squamous cell carcinoma: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common type, on the other hand, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCC) overlying the breast is a rare tumor. The co-presence of two tumor types in one organ is even a rarer entity, termed as collision tumor.

A rare cause of small bowel perforation: A metastatic lesion from squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.

Background: Metastatic lesions from head and neck tumours to the small bowel are extremely rare, and metastasis from tongue squamous cell carcinoma in particular has been reported only twice in the English literature.

Case Presentation: A 76 year-old lady diagnosed with a loco-regionally advanced tongue squamous cell carcinoma but deferred surgical resection. Seven months later after her diagnosis, she presented with generalized abdominal pain, due to image-proven viscous perforation, thus taken for emergent exploratory laparotomy, where the perforation was found at the distal ileum, which was resected, and a primary side to side anastomosis was done.

Familial Idiopathic Pan-Colonic Varices Found Incidentally in a Young Patient with a Hepatic Flexure Tumor.

BACKGROUND Colonic varices are rare entity that often results from portal vein hypertension and hepatic cirrhosis. In the absence of underlying pathology, they are termed "idiopathic colonic varices". They are usually an incidental finding; however, they can present with varying degrees of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
