Interstitial ectopic pregnancy, a rare clinical phenomenon diagnosed asymptomatically on routine work up in Tanzania: Case report.

Introduction: Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening condition, accounting for 2.4 % of all ectopic pregnancies. Diagnosing it can be challenging, as the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube allows for delayed rupture due to its capacity to expand, often leading to significant haemorrhage.

Breast cancer molecular subtype classification according to immunohistochemistry markers and its association with pathological characteristics among women attending tertiary hospitals in Tanzania.

Background: Breast cancer immunohistochemistry is a biological characteristic of the tumour which has a role to diagnose molecular subtype, prognosticate and guide treatment and is categorised into 4 subtypes. Data in Tanzania was lacking and was based off data extrapolated from studies in Western Africa thus hypothesizing that women of African ancestry predominately develop Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC).

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out at two tertiary referral hospitals on participants who were recruited from the cancer registries from 2015 to 2022.

Spontaneous rupture of renal angiomyolipoma presenting with shock; a case report from Tanzania.

Introduction And Importance: Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) are benign tumors, often incidentally diagnosed with rupture being the commonest complication and cause of mortality. These tumors are rare with a higher prevalence among patients with tuberous sclerosis and female predominance. Management is dependent on tumor size and whether or not the tumor has ruptured.

Prolonged retention of gauze sponge resulting in ileocolic fistula, a rare complication following cesarean section; case report.

Introduction And Importance: Retained gauze sponge is a medical legal issue with significant clinical implications with catastrophic complications. We report a case of a female who presented with chronic right iliac fossa pain only to be found to have a retained gauze sponge causing bowel fistulisation. We describe our experience on diagnostic formulation and work up and subsequent operative intervention.

Gall bladder schistosomiasis diagnosed incidentally post laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic worms of the genus Schistosoma. It primarily affects the intestines, liver, and urinary tract however, rare cases have been reported where the parasite invades other organs. This case report presents an incidental finding of schistosomiasis, upon histopathology evaluation, in a patient who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease with recurrent attacks of cholecystitis.

Dorsal pancreas agenesis, an incidental finding during acute appendicitis diagnosis; A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Dorsal pancreas agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence or severe underdevelopment of the dorsal pancreatic bud. We report a case of a man who presented with features of appendicitis only to the incidentally discovery of dorsal pancreas agenesis during the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. We describe our experience on radiological diagnostic formulation and work up.
