A case of the Abernethy malformation: An exceptionally rare clinical entity.

I review a case of a 30-year-old woman who presented with diarrhea, nausea and vomiting for several days. She was ultimately diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis but was incidentally found to have a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt, also known as the Abernethy malformation. The Abernethy malformation, first described by Dr John Abernethy in the year 1793, is an exceptionally rare clinical entity.

Large uterine leiomyoma presenting as pseudo-Meigs' syndrome with an elevated ca125: a case report and literature review.

Ascites, pelvic mass and elevated CA-125 in females carry a grim prognosis, likely an ovarian carcinoma. However, more benign etiologies such as Meigs' and pseudo-Meigs' syndrome must be considered. Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome presenting with an elevated CA-125 is rare and presents a diagnostic challenge.
