A Rare Case of Periprosthetic Fracture with Fracture of Femoral Stem around a Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty.

Introduction: The incidence of periprosthetic fractures (PPF) around a total hip arthroplasty continues to increase with the rise in number of arthroplasties performed. However, fracture of the femoral stem has become very rare since the development of modern prosthetic designs. We present a rare case of an 80-year-old man who sustained a periprosthetic femur fracture with a fracture of the femoral stem component around a bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Giant Cell Tumor of Talus: A Case Report.

Case Report: We are reporting a case of giant cell tumor of talus in a 17-year-old female who presented with a history of pain and swelling around left ankle since 10 months.

'Little old lady's hernia' (obturator hernia): A deceptive encounter.

Obturator hernia (OH) is rare which not only carries high mortality amongst all abdominal hernia, but also known for the difficulty in diagnosing it. Howship-Romberg sign is a clinical sign to diagnose OH, but due to the lower-limb muscle contractures, it was not possible in our case. Computed tomography scan becomes the investigation of choice in this situation.

Pancreatic glucagonoma with pancreatic calcification.

Background: Glucagonoma is an uncommon type of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor [NET] which is characterized by diabetes mellitus, necrolytic migratory erythema, depression and deep vein thrombosis. The typical rash is often misdiagnosed and the diagnosis is delayed by 7-8 years. Pancreatic NETs and other pancreatic tumors are known to show calcifications within the tumor but calcification of the remaining normal pancreas is very uncommon.
