Factors influencing the decision-making process for breast surgery in women likely to face breast cancer: a cross-sectional study.

Unlabelled: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the main neoplasia affecting women worldwide. Breast conserving surgery (BCS) or modified radical mastectomy (Mx) are both applicable with no difference between patients treated by these surgeries in terms of quality of life, local recurrence rate, and overall survival. The surgical decision today favors the surgeon-patient dialog, in which the patient is involved in the therapeutic decision.

Extra-Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (EGIST) in the Pelvis Mimicking Retroperitoneal Sarcoma.

Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors accounting for less than 1% of total gastrointestinal tumors. They tend to be aggressive and have a poor prognosis. Unfortunately, there is a lack of data or controversial data due to its scarcity.

Primary invasive ductal carcinoma of axillary accessory breast.

Primary accessory breast cancer is an extremely rare pathology, representing less than 1 % of all breast cancers, and it is found in more than 90 % of cases in the axilla. The diagnosis of accessory axillary breast cancer (AABC) is often late and at an advanced stage with an average delay of 40.5 months.

Primary Breast Tuberculosis Mastitis Manifested as Nonhealing Abscess.

Primary breast tuberculosis (TB) is a rare extrapulmonary TB mainly affecting young women of childbearing age from endemic countries. Its incidence is increasing in immunocompromised and HIV-infected people and with the emergence of drug-resistant strains of (MTB). There are no specific clinical signs suggestive of this disease, it often presents as a hard mass or breast abscess.

A report of an unexpected complication of PORT-A-CATH insertion.

Introduction: Vascular access is essential in the management of patients, and sometimes poses a problem, especially in patients requiring chronic treatment. Surgical insertion of the port-a-cath solved this problem by providing easy access, but unfortunately, it's associated with some complications.

Case Presentation: We present a case of 32 year-old woman, diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, admitted for insertion of a port-a-cath for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Breast adenomyoepithelioma, a case report.

Background: Adenomyoepithelioma is a rare tumor of the breast characterized by a dual/biphasic proliferation of two cell populations: the epithelial cells and the myoepithelial cells. The first case was reported in 1970. The majority of the cases are benign, but few malignant cases were reported in literature.

A giant mesenteric fibromatosis adherent to the appendix and colonic wall, case report.

Background: Mesenteric fibromatosis, is a rare neoplasm arising usually from the bowel mesentery, with intermediate behavior and local invasion potential. They can be sporadic or related to multiple factors contributions. They usually presents as an asymptomatic growth of intraabdominal mass, and can reach a large diameter before symptoms appearance.

Splenoptosis in young female, case report.

Background: Splenoptosis is an uncommon disorder defined as the dislodgment of the spleen from its anatomical location in the left hypochondrium to another location in the intraabdominal cavity. This migration is the result of laxity or absence of the ligaments that fix the spleen to surrounding structures. Splenoptosis is either diagnosed after it causes symptoms, or incidentally using different imaging modalities.

Left gastric artery pseudo-aneurysm post sleeve gastrectomy: A case report.

Introduction: Bleeding in the context of sleeve gastrectomy could be caused by a variety of diseases however pseudo-aneurysm is an overlooked complication.

Case: For instance, we present case of a 25 year-old Lebanese woman that undergone sleeve gastrectomy and presented 3 weeks later with a bleeding left gastric artery pseudo-aneurysm.

Conclusion: Angiography followed by embolization is best for diagnosing and treating the pseudo-aneurysm by coiling.

Prepyloric gastric inflammatory fibroid polyp presenting as chronic epigastric discomfort in a 5th decade aged female: A case report.

Introduction: Inflammatory fibroid polyps is a rare entity that mostly occur in the stomach. Gastric type is usually asymptomatic or may show nonspecific symptoms. Diagnosis is mainly postoperative with limited roles of usual diagnostic techniques.

Bilateral inguinal masses or hernias in a female teenager with delayed menarche: Think of Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), a case report.

Introduction: Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) is a rare sexual development disorder with X-linked recessive inheritance. It is prevalent in 1:20400 to 1:99000 of female phenotypes, yet characterized by an XY genotype. Cases of CAIS usually present with primary amenorrhea together with unilateral/bilateral inguinal hernias.

Rare presentation of community acquired pneumonia resulted in laparoscopic intervention in adult. Case Report.

Introduction: Community acquired pneumonia usually presents with typical clinical and radiological signs allowing for a quick diagnosis. Nevertheless, pneumonia can infrequently mimic acute abdominal pathologies, leading to invasive unnecessary procedures.

Presentation Of Case: We report a case of a 44-year-old man, previously healthy, admitted with a diagnosis of a surgical abdomen, investigated with an exploratory laparoscopy after inconclusive imaging and failure of improvement.
