Collision tumor of the appendix with concomitant cecal adenocarcinoma: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Collision tumors of the appendix are rare tumors consisting of two distinct pathologies arising from different cell lines simultaneously. The most common type is the coexistence of a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN). We report a unique case of appendiceal collision tumor with synchronous cecal intra-mucosal carcinoma and pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Management of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies in Saudi Arabia: An Update.

Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) are aggressive and associated with poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been used to treat PSM since 1990. In Saudi Arabia, the first HIPEC and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) were performed in 2008 and 2019, respectively.

Surveillance Compliance and Quality of Life Assessment Among Surgical Patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Syndrome.

Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome has a near-100% lifetime risk of colorectal cancer. Early surveillance and prophylactic surgery have been advocated to reduce this risk. However, the surveillance practices among FAP individuals in Saudi Arabia are unknown.

Diagnostic challenge of a huge omental tumor: A case report.

Introduction: Omental lipomas are rare tumors that are often asymptomatic. They may produce vague abdominal complaints. Radiological diagnosis may be challenging.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with adrenalectomy, feasibility, safety and outcome.

Concomitant surgery is an attractive option because of convenience. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting concomitant laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic right adrenalectomy. A retrospective review of three patients with obesity and a unilateral adrenal mass was conducted.

Multiple primary gastrointestinal tumors of gastric, pancreatic and rectal origin; a case report.

Introduction: The occurrence of multiple primary synchronous or metachronous malignancies is a described phenomenon. Such cases may have genetic predisposition or could be related to environmental risk factors but may also be sporadic. We are reporting a unique combination of triple primary synchronous malignancies in the same patient.

Laparoscopic exploration of the retroperitoneum in a gunshot victim: A case report.

Introduction: Non-operative management and minimally invasive surgery reduce the burden of negative laparotomies in patients with penetrating gunshot wounds (GSW). Careful patient selection is key. Although challenging, in experienced hands laparoscopic exploration of the retroperitoneal space can be carried out.

Rare cause of acute neck hematoma.

Emergencies in endocrine surgery are rare. Acute neck hematoma may result from recent surgery or spontaneous as with ruptured thyroidal cyst, thyroidal vessel, or parathyroid adenoma. We are reporting a case of acute neck hematoma caused by a ruptured of parathyroid adenoma, which required urgent surgical intervention.

Rare behavior of follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer.

Follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer typically favors nodal spread. We report a case with hematogenous spread including multi-organ involvement and describe our staged management approach. This is the first case to report follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer with simultaneous adrenal and renal involvement.
