Article Synopsis
- Epidermal cysts, which may form due to female genital mutilation or trauma, are benign tumors that can appear in the vulvar or clitoral areas, especially in different age groups, warranting distinct diagnostic considerations.
- A 54-year-old woman experienced urinary retention due to a large vulvar epidermal cyst, which was successfully excised, alleviating her symptoms and restoring normal appearance.
- Accurate diagnosis and management of vulvar epidermoid cysts require thorough clinical evaluation and imaging, as they can cause significant issues when large, and surgical excision is typically recommended for symptomatic cases.
Introduction: Gangrenous cholecystitis is a serious complication of untreated gallbladder inflammation, necessitating immediate intervention. The primary resolution involves cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder.The Billroth II gastrectomy, named after Theodor Billroth, addresses gastric conditions by removing a portion of the stomach and reconnecting the remaining section to the small intestine.

Definitive surgical repair is the mainstay of treatment but has a significant incidence of complications, particularly when managed by non-specialist surgeons or with delayed referral to a specialized center.
Case Presentation: A 17-year-old male presented with a blunt abdominal injury after a fall, resulting in a right hepatic duct injury that was managed with a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.
Introduction: Richter's hernia is a relatively uncommon type of hernia that can lead to severe clinical consequences if left unaddressed. The definitive treatment involves the reduction and repair of the hernia defect, with various surgical approaches available, including open transabdominal, inguinal, obturator, and laparoscopic techniques, depending on the size of the defect and the viability of the involved bowel.
Case Presentation: A 29-year-old female patient presented with Richter's hernia, a rare type of hernia, and underwent surgical intervention to release the incarcerated bowel loop and resect the necrotic segment.
Article Synopsis
- A 55-year-old man experienced severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to an ileal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), which was identified through CTA imaging.
- The tumor was surgically removed, resulting in stabilized hemoglobin levels, and was confirmed to be a low-grade GIST after pathology analysis.
- Clinically, GISTs are rare but important to consider in cases of unexplained gastrointestinal hemorrhage; effective imaging techniques like CTA are crucial for proper diagnosis.
Introduction: Gossypiboma is a term used to describe a condition of leaving a surgical sponge or any other foreign object in a body cavity after surgery. Gossypiboma is a rare but serious medical and legal problem, as it may cause no symptoms or severe complications in the digestive system. In some cases, Gossypiboma may migrate through the wall of an organ and cause damage, such as perforation, obstruction, or fistula formation.

They are often found incidentally during imaging or surgery and can vary in symptoms depending on their size and location; with cysts < 10 cm often being asymptomatic. These cysts are more common in adults in their 30s or 60s and can be divided into four histological subtypes, with epithelial cysts being less common.
