The Diagnostic Dilemma of Ruptured Liver Metastasis in a Patient with Lung Cancer: A case report.

Spontaneous rupture of a metastatic liver tumour is rarely documented in the literature when compared to hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver lesions, especially from a lung primary. We report a case of ruptured liver metastasis from an adenocarcinoma of the lung mimicking ruptured liver abscess, challenging the clinical diagnosis. A 42-year-female patient presented to a tertiary care institute in 2020 with complaints of abdominal pain, breathlessness and fever.

Xanthogranulomatous adrenalitis masquerading as a functioning adrenocortical malignancy: a case report.

Introduction: Xanthogranulomatous adrenalitis (XA) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the adrenal glands and resembles adrenal neoplasm in clinical and radiologic characteristics. There is no report on XA presenting as a functioning adrenal mass in the literature. We present a case of XA mimicking a functioning adrenocortical carcinoma.

Utility of nutritional indices in preoperative assessment of cancer patients.

Background: Malnutrition is an important but neglected predictor for outcomes and healthcare costs in cancer patients. A simple screening tool for detecting malnutrition may have clinical utility in their preoperative assessment.

Objectives: This study compared three validated indices, for their predictive ability for prolonged length of stay (LOS) and 30-day postsurgical complications in malignancies in a tertiary hospital in South India.
