Acute diffuse thyroid swelling after fine-needle aspiration: A case report and review of the literature.

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is the first-line and a cost-effective examination method of nonfunctional thyroid nodules. Acute transient thyroid swelling after an FNA is a rare complication, and to date, only 14 cases have been reported in the English literature. Herein, we report a case of a 26-year-old woman with acute transient thyroid swelling, which occurred after an ultrasound-guided FNA of a thyroid nodule.

Afferent loop obstruction with obstructive jaundice and ileus due to an enterolith after distal gastrectomy: A case report.

Moreover, cases where the obstruction is caused by enterolith are rare. Here, we report a rare case of afferent loop obstruction caused by an enterolith after Roux-en-Y reconstruction of gastrectomy; subsequently, leading to ileus in the ileum.

Sessile serrated adenoma/polyp leading to acute appendicitis with multiple pyogenic liver abscesses: A case report.

Acute Cholecystitis with Significantly Elevated Levels of Serum Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9.

Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9), a marker of malignant tumors, is generally slightly elevated in benign conditions. We report a case of acute cholecystitis with a significantly elevated level of serum CA 19-9 based on positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) findings. A 65-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and fever.
