Article Synopsis
- A 43-year-old male presented with an enlarging pulsatile mass near his belly button, prompting further investigation.
- Imaging identified an 8-cm mass next to the left iliac artery, leading doctors to suspect a neuroendocrine tumor due to high blood pressure and catecholamine levels.
- Laparoscopic surgery successfully removed the mass, which was later found to be a tailgut cyst, emphasizing the effectiveness of laparoscopic techniques and the need for thorough differential diagnoses in surgical cases.
Article Synopsis
- - Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) are uncommon conditions caused by both genetic and environmental influences during fetal development, typically identified in newborns.
- - A patient underwent a colonoscopy for high-risk polyps and later experienced sudden abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a rare right-sided diaphragmatic hernia that required surgery.
- - This case is significant due to the rarity of post-colonoscopy diaphragmatic hernias, especially right-sided ones, highlighting the importance of thorough imaging reviews in such situations.
Background Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) severely impacts patients' quality of life (QoL). Surgery has shown potential in improving a patient's QoL in severe disease. Previous studies have evaluated QoL after surgery, but lack a disease-specific questionnaire to better evaluate the unique burden of disease that patients with HS experience.
