Incidental Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm Found During Appendectomy in a 15-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report.

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are rare gastrointestinal tumors, often underdiagnosed due to their variable presentation. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are particularly significant because of their association with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), a condition that increases the risk of abdominal recurrence. This report presents the case of a 15-year-old female with no prior medical history who developed nonspecific abdominal symptoms.

Pigmented basal cell carcinoma of the anus: a rare entity with diagnostic challenges.

Anal cancer is uncommon, comprising 2.2% of gastrointestinal cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common; while perianal basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is rare, representing only 0.

Atraumatic Spontaneous Transvaginal Small Bowel Evisceration: A Rare Surgical Emergency.

Abdominal pain ranks as the predominant cause for emergency department consultations. Although rare, transvaginal evisceration of the small intestine necessitates immediate surgical intervention due to its potential to induce intestinal ischemia and peritonitis. Key risk factors include postmenopausal status, a history of gynecologic surgery, and heightened abdominal pressure.

Ischemic Stroke as an Initial Manifestation of Antiphospholipid Syndrome in an Adolescent: A Case Report.

Cerebrovascular diseases in pediatric patients are relatively rare. Ischemic stroke in adolescents is associated with a poor prognosis. The most common causes include systemic diseases, such as heart disease and hypercoagulation disorders.

Risk-Benefit Comparison Between Endoloop and Endostapler Devices for the Closure of Appendiceal Stumps in Laparoscopic Appendectomy.
