ThinPrep liquid-based cytologic diagnosis of hepatic entomophthoromycosis (basidiobolomycosis) with Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon.

Zygomycotic fungal infections are increasingly recognized in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients in nonendemic countries because of the increased global travels. One of the emerging fungal infections is Entomophthorales which cause deep visceral infections that clinically and radiologically mimic malignancies because they form invasive obstructing masses. A quick diagnosis is life-saving.

Spontaneous Splenic Rupture Two Weeks After Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the commonest bariatric procedures performed globally with an acceptable rate of reported complications. Splenic injury during this procedure is a rare but can be a serious complication. A 32-year-old male patient who had a spontaneous splenic rupture two weeks after an uneventful sleeve gastrectomy needed an emergency splenectomy.

Gastric Remnant Perforation Caused by Peterson's Hernia Following One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass: a Rare Complication.

Introduction: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has gained popularity over the recent years; it appears to be an effective bariatric procedure with acceptable weight loss, co-morbidity resolution, and complication rates in the short and medium term. However, it still continues to have concerns in the bariatric community due to a spectrum of potential complications. To our knowledge, there are few published cases of internal hernia, but no published reports of gastric remnant perforation following OAGB.

Anastomotic Gastro-Jejunal Ulcer Perforation Following One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass: Clinical Presentation and Options of Management-Case Series and Review of Literature.

Background: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is an attractive bariatric procedure compared with the gold standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with one less anastomosis. Thousands of these procedures have now been performed by different surgeons who believe that it could hold fewer complications than RYGB. However, postoperative complications including the formation of anastomotic ulcers and possible perforation remain a main concern following OAGB.
