Hallucal sesamoiditis on a bipartite sesamoid bone: An uncommon cause of chronic great toe pain.

The pathologies and lesions affecting the sesamoid bones of the hallux are uncommon and can be easily overlooked. Among them, sesamoiditis is a relatively rare condition known to cause severe great toe pain; lack of awareness of this particular entity leads to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and contributes to significant morbidity. Herein, we present a chronic sesamoiditis case occurring on a medial bipartite sesamoid bone, presenting as chronic great toe pain.

Hydatid cyst of the uterus: Very rare location.

The involvement of the genital tract of a hydatid cyst is rare and the occurrence in the uterus is an extreme rarity. The diagnosis of this localization is difficult because the clinical and radiological findings are often misleading and the diagnosis is often worn during surgery and after histopathological examination of the surgical specimen. We report the case of a patient who consulted for primary infertility, with a clinical finding as the only anomaly significantly large uterus, and imaging pointing strongly toward an ovarian multilocular cyst, and in which the discovery of hydatid cyst was accidental intraoperative with double localization uterine and omental.

Exophytic hepatic hemangioma: a case report.

Hepatic hemangiomas may rarely arise outside the extra-hepatic capsule. It appears as a pedunculated mass. We report the case of a 58-year-old female presenting with abdominal chronic pain.

Renal artery pseudoaneurysms post percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A case report.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a standard, safe and efficient method for removing large renal calculi. This pathology is associated with a risk of life-threatening Iatrogenic Renal Vascular Injuries, such as pseudoaneurysm (1%-3%). We report the case of a 49 old year male patient with Hematuria post PCNL for renal calculi.

Metastatic rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor with intestinal obstruction: A rare case report.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) arising from the rectum are rare. We report the case of an aggressive rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in a 60-year-old female that presented for symptoms of constipation and lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Upon rectal examination, a hard mass was found at 6cm from the anal marge.

Cerebral fat embolism syndrome after long bone fracture: A case report.

Cerebral fat embolism is a rare and potentially fatal condition that may occur following a long bone fracture. Its characterized by respiratory, neurological, and mucocutaneous signs. Isolated severe brain syndrome remains exceptional.

Gallstone ileus: An unusual cause of intestinal obstruction.

Gallstone ileus is an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction. It is typically the result of cholecystoduodenal fistula, computed tomography scan is the best modality for the diagnosis. Surgical removal of the gallstone is the pillar of treatment to relieve intestinal obstruction.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the small intestine with lung metastasis.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) represent 1% of primary gastrointestinal cancers. These tumors most frequently metastasise to the liver and peritoneum and rarely to the lungs. We report the case of a 79-year-old woman with gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the small intestine and pulmonary metastases.

[Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck detected during infertility evaluation: an atypical case report].

Hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is a rare woman condition often detected during childhood. We here report a rare case of hydrocele detected in adulthood during infertility evaluation. The patient presented with chronic non painful right inguinal swelling.

Renal angiomyolipoma with renal vein extension.

Renal angiomyolipomas are uncommon benign tumors containing fatty tissue. Only a few cases of infiltrating angiomyolipomas have been reported. We aimed to describe a case of a 65-year-old woman presenting a peripheral angiomyolipoma of the left kidney with CT evidence of involvement of the renal vein.

Anal Cancer with Atypical Brain and Cranial Bones Metastasis: About 2 Cases and Literature Review.

Canal anal cancer is a rare tumor that accounts for 2% of all colorectal neoplasms, with a low propensity for metastasis. The spread of anal squamous cell carcinoma to the brain is exceedingly rare and has been previously reported only 5 times in the medical literature. However, the first and only case of cranial bone metastasis from anal canal carcinoma was described in 2019.

Recurrent costovertebral hydatidosis with epidural extension.

Osseous echinococcosis is a relatively rare entity and that of the rib is even rare. Few cases of costal echinococcosis have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of a recurrent costovertebral hydatidosis with epidural extension in a 49-year-old man who presented with paraparesis and back pain.

Acute pulmonary embolism mimicking COVID-19 pneumonia.

The case of 21-year-old man with an asthma history from childhood presenting severe respiratory distress associated with a right lower thoracic pain has been studied. The non-contrast Computed Tomography (CT)-chest scan showed a basal ground-glass opacity (GGO) of the right lung leading to suspicion of COVID-19 pneumonia. However, the molecular Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test and blood serology were negative while laboratory analyses revealed high levels of D-dimers (D-D).

Curvilinear pericallosal lipomas diagnosed incidentally during evaluation following trauma with corpus callosum abnormalities in two patients.

P lipomas are the most habitual location for an intracranial lipoma. They are fat-containing lesions arising from the interhemispheric fissure intimately related to the corpus callosum, which is often abnormal. They originate from aberrant differentiation of the persistent primitive meninx.

Ansa pancreatica: a rare cause of acute recurrent episode in chronic pancreatitis.

Ansa pancreatica is a rare anatomic variation of pancreatic ducts. It is a predisposing factor of recurrent pancreatitis. In this case report, we describe a case of a 24-year-old male suffering from an ansa pancreatica with a non-patent major papilla, diagnosed on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

Clinical and radiological resolution of vertebral sarcoidosis mimicking metastatic disease.

Sarcoidosis is a disease that exhibits extreme heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Bone involvement in sarcoidosis is rare (1%-13%), and involvement of the vertebrae is even rarer. Usually, it is a diagnosis of exclusion with nonspecific characteristics in imaging.
