Blunt trauma-induced complete esophageal avulsion: A case report on surgical intervention and clinical insights.

Blunt esophageal injury is an exceptionally rare condition, with complete esophageal avulsion being almost unprecedented in adults. This case study details the clinical presentation, surgical management, and postoperative course of a 50-year-old male who sustained a complete esophageal avulsion following blunt abdominal trauma. The patient presented with increasing abdominal pain two hours after falling while stepping up onto a high truck step, striking his upper abdomen on the step.

Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma: Molecular and clinical insights in managing metastatic disease.

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas (ASCP) is a rare and aggressive variant of pancreatic cancer, characterized by both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma components. It presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its atypical histology and poor prognosis. A 72-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, lighter-colored stools, and intermittent nausea.

Managing locally advanced GIST complicated by perforation: A case report and comprehensive review.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, frequently characterized by mutations in the KIT or PDGFRA genes. This case report details the complex clinical course of a 71-year-old female with a history of HIV and metastatic GIST presenting with acute abdominal symptoms indicative of perforated viscus. Initial imaging revealed a massive pneumoperitoneum and a large abdominal mass, necessitating immediate surgical intervention.

Duodenal adenocarcinoma at stage IV: A critical look at diagnostic pathways and treatment modalities.

Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive gastrointestinal malignancy that frequently presents with symptoms like gastric outlet obstruction and biliary obstruction, leading to delayed diagnosis and challenging prognosis. This case report explores the clinical presentation, diagnostic hurdles, and therapeutic management of late-stage duodenal adenocarcinoma in a 53-year-old woman with no significant prior medical history. The patient presented with severe epigastric pain radiating to the right upper quadrant, nausea, and decreased appetite.

Strategic multidisciplinary management of pelvic carcinosarcoma: Emphasizing advanced diagnostic imaging and staged surgical interventions.

Pelvic carcinosarcoma is an aggressive malignancy with significant diagnostic and management hurdles due to its complex vascularity and potential for extensive local invasion. A 59-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain and significant weight loss, leading to the discovery of a large, complex pelvic mass through CT scans, MRI, and PET CT, suggesting aggressive malignancy. Initial management included a robotic laparoscopic proximal sigmoid loop colostomy to alleviate obstruction.
