Deciduosis of the appendix: a rare cause of acute abdomen during pregnancy (a case report).

Appendectomy is the most common non-obstetric surgical intervention in pregnant patients. In rare cases, deciduosis can develop during pregnancy in the appendix and cause inflammation through appendiceal occlusion by ectopic decidua tissue. We report a 28-year-old woman at 32 weeks of pregnancy, who presented at the emergency room with the diagnosis of an acute appendicitis.

Colorectal resection in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients: experience from a single tertiary center.

Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) are important risk factors for post-operative morbidity and mortality but remains poorly reported in colorectal surgery. This study aims to evaluate postoperative outcomes of ESRD patients under RRT undergoing colorectal resection.

Methods: All ESRD patients under RRT who underwent colorectal resection between 2006 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.

Mucin-producing hepatic cystic neoplasms: an uncommon but challenging disease often misdiagnosed and mismanaged.

Mucin-producing hepatic cystic neoplasms (MHCN) are uncommon and potentially malignant. Nine MHCN were encountered in our centre for over 32 years. Patients' clinical, biological, radiological and pathological features were reviewed.

Kidney transplantation in infantile myofibromatosis and fibromuscular dysplasia: a case report.

Case Presentation: A 3-year-old Caucasian girl with fibromuscular dysplasia and infantile myofibromatosis presented with arterial hypertension and renal failure. She received a deceased donor kidney transplantation distal to an iliac graft.
