Hepatic Angiomyolipoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is an uncommon primary liver tumor with limited reported cases in the literature. It is composed of varying amounts of fat, smooth muscle, and blood vessels, typically non-malignant proliferation. It usually presents diagnostic challenges due to diverse imaging characteristics.

Middle lobe syndrome revealing Broncholithiasis: A Case Report.

Middle lobe syndrome is a rare but important clinical entity worth investigating in local obstructive or inflammatory cause. One of its rare etiologies is broncholithiasis. We report the observation of a young female patient who presented with recurrent hemoptysis.

A rare cause of spontaneous hemoperitoneum: intra-abdominal vein rupture.

Aim: Ruptures of the intra-abdominal vein causing a spontaneous hemoperitoneum in cirrhotic patients is a rare condition. However, diagnosis must be considered early in cirrhotic patients with hematic ascites as a delayed diagnosis with hemodynamic instability is associated with a poor prognosis.

Case Report: We present the case of a 54-year-old cirrhotic patient who presented a spontaneous hemoperitoneum due to the rupture of the intra-abdominal vein that was diagnosed during exploratory laparoscopy.

Multifocal nodular lesions in fatty liver mimicking neoplastic disease: a case report.

Usually, fatty hepatic infiltration is diffuse and homogeneous. However, in some cases, it can be localized simulating benign or malignant tumors. We present a case of a 61-year-old female patient with family history of malignancy: sister with lung cancer, an other sister with colon cancer and a mother with breast cancer; who presented with multiple hepatic nodules at the ultrasonography images.

Intraperitoneal migration of hydatid cyst of the liver with intact proligerous membrane: Hydatid delivery.

•Intra-peritoneal migration of hydatid cysts is a rare complication.•Intact proligerous membrane is a protective factor.•Surgery is the best treatment and should be performed timely.

Jejunal diverticulitis as a rare cause of abdominal pain: a case report.

Jejunal diverticulitis is an uncommon and underdiagnosed condition. Due to the rarity of This disease, diagnosis is often difficult and delayed. Medical treatment is usually sufficient for jejunal diverticulitis without peritonitis.

Outcomes of bronchial artery embolization for the management of hemoptysis.

Introduction:   Hemoptysis is an alarming symptom that requires immediate investigation and management. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that has become the treatment of choice of recurrent and massive hemoptysis.

Aim: To assess the efficacy and safety of BAE for management of recurrent and/or massive hemoptysis.

Yellow nail syndrome: a genetic Disorder?

Background: Yellow nail syndrome is a very rare disorder. The classic clinical presentation includes a triad involving yellow nail discoloration, chronic pulmonary manifestations and lower limb lymphedema. Its etiology remains unknown and the genetic disorder is still controversial.

The risk of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Introduction: The role of hepatitis C virus in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic disease has been suggested by several studies.

Aim: To assess the association between subclinical carotid atherosclerosis and chronic hepatitis C.

Methods: 40 patients infected with chronic hepatitis C and 40 control cases were evaluated by anthropometric and metabolic measurements.

Cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19: report of three cases.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) shows rapid spread around the world. Its classic presentation is a respiratory illness. However, cutaneous manifestations have rarely been described as the first clinical manifestation in patients with this infection.

Humeral artery aneurysm revealing a rare association between tuberculosis and behçet's disease.

The association of pulmonary tuberculosis and Behçet's disease revealed by an aneurysm of the humeral artery is exceptional with a complicated management. We report a case in which the two conditions occurred concomitantly with the vascular complication, apart from any use of immunosuppressive therapy, something that has never been reported in the literature. We report an extremely rare case of a spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm of the humeral artery of a 29-year-old woman with no history.

A rare localization of tuberculosis of the wrist: The scapholunate joint.

The tuberculosis of the hand and the wrist is a rare entity. Affecting the scapholunate joint is exceptional. It is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage of carpal destruction, due to slowly development of the symptoms.

Transformation of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans into a Fibrosarcoma.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a rare cutaneous mesenchymal tumor characterized by a low potential of malignancy with a very low rate of metastasis but an important rate of local recurrence. Its transformation into a fibrosarcoma is exceptional, responsible for a higher metastatic potential. This transformation implies a closer surveillance.

Enchondroma of the scaphoid: a case report.

Enchondroma represents a common bone tumor of the hand. The scaphoid is a rare location. We report the case of a scaphoid enchondroma presenting as chronic wrist pain following a relatively minor trauma.

Unusual radiologic and histologic manifestations of primary pulmonary lymphoma.

Pulmonary parenchymal involvement in lymphoma is unusual and is reported more commonly in Hodgkin's disease than non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiological appearances are manifold and may mimic other pulmonary diseases. We report the case of a patient with Hodgkin's disease who demonstrated multiple cavitating lung lesions with aberrant immunophenotypic expression of T-cell antigens.
