Klippel-trenaunay syndrome: an often overlooked risk factor for venous thromboembolic disease.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital condition redefined by Oduber et al (2008) by the coexistence of vascular malformations and disturbed soft tissue or bony growth, including hypertrophy or hypotrophy in the same or opposite sides of the body. The anomalies may involve part of a limb, a whole limb, a limb girdle, or a hemibody. Vascular malformations may involve veins, capillaries, or lymphatics although venous or capillary malformations are essential for the diagnosis.

An obscure case of hepatic subcapsular hematoma.

Spontaneous liver bleeding is often reported in preeclampsia. It is otherwise rare and has been linked to gross anatomical lesions and coagulopathy. We report a case of subcapsular hematoma of the liver without any apparent lesion and in the absence of coagulopathy.

Non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia associated with uterine leiomyomata.

Objective: We report a case of non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) in a patient with large leiomyomata.

Methods: We present the clinical, laboratory, and pathologic findings of a diabetic patient who presented with recurrent hypoglycemia later linked to uterine leiomyomata.

Results: An 80-year-old woman with diabetes was admitted after falling at home.
