Introduction: Triorchidism is a rare anomaly whose management raised considerable discussion. Several factors must be considered, including the patient's age, the testes location, their functional status, and the accessibility and compliance for follow-up. We present a case of triorchidism diagnosed incidentally during a routine hernioplasty procedure, serving educational and informative purposes.

Int J Surg Case Rep
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * A 35-year-old man was diagnosed with biphasic synovial sarcoma after imaging and biopsy confirmed a mass in his right inguinal area; he underwent successful surgery and received radiation therapy post-operation.
- * The case emphasizes the importance of using various diagnostic tools, like MRI and CT scans, for staging the tumor and that a tailored treatment approach is crucial for managing this rare condition.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the clinical and epidemiological data regarding impaired functional outcomes, specifically low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), following rectal surgery for tumors.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 42 patients treated between 2009 and 2021, revealing that approximately 50% developed LARS, with major LARS occurring in 14 patients.
- The researchers identified age and advanced tumor stage (pT3T4) as independent risk factors for major LARS, suggesting that these factors should be considered in managing rectal cancer patients.
Abdominal foreign body migration causing cardiac tamponade: A case report.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
October 2024
Chronic asymptomatic retention of an intragastric foreign body can pose a life-threatening scenario. In the event of migration, it may result in perforation, as shown in our unique case of pericardial perforation through the fundus. Beyond illustrating a rare condition, this case prompts us to engage in a debate about whether to retain or remove asymptomatic foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.

- * A case study of a 62-year-old man revealed a fatty mass causing gastrointestinal blockage, leading to surgery where two lipomas were found, one responsible for the intussusception.
- * Despite advances in imaging, diagnosing CI due to lipomas remains difficult, highlighting the need for awareness and research on this condition and its treatment options.
