Solid pseudopapillary tumor in an ectopic pancreas: an unusual presentation.

Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare neoplasm. Very rarely, it may arise from an ectopic site. Solid pseudopapillary tumor occurring in the root of mesentery has not been described in the literature.

An alarming but self-limited case of isolated large spontaneous liver hematoma in pregnancy.

Spontaneous subcapsular liver hematoma is rare but potentially life-threatening complication of pregnancy usually associated with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets). We present here a case of such a large spontaneous liver hematoma presenting in pregnancy, but without other known associated abnormalities, which has not been described before and it resolved on itself without any intervention.

Type IV jejunal atresia with an unusual variation of enteric duplication: report of a case.

We report a rare case of type IV jejunal atresia with enteric duplication and multiple diverticuli, found in a 3-day-old baby girl. To our knowledge, this association has never been reported before.

Management of jejunoileal atresias: an experience at eastern Nepal.

Background: Intestinal atresia is a common cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction, and management of this disease in limited setup of a developing country is very difficult.

Methods: This study is a retrospective study of patients with jejunoileal atresias and their postoperative outcome in a teaching hospital in eastern Nepal over a 5-year period.

Results: There were 28 children (19 boys and 9 girls).

Caecal volvulus: a twisted tale.

Caecal volvulus is an uncommon cause of acute intestinal obstruction caused by axial twisting of the caecum along with the terminal ileum and ascending colon. Early diagnosis is essential in order to reduce the high mortality rate, though the condition is rarely diagnosed correctly at the time of presentation. We report a series of four cases describing their presentation, management and subsequent outcome.

Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis mimicking as carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare disease even in endemic countries for tuberculosis. Here, we report a case of pancreatic tuberculosis from tuberculosis endemic zone presenting as obstructive jaundice mimicking pancreatic cancer.

Case Presentation: A 41-year-old male presented with features of malignant obstructive jaundice.

A report of a rare congenital malformation in a Nepalese child with congenital pouch colon: a case report.

Congenital pouch colon is one of rare congenital anomalies. We report a 3-day-old male child with congenital pouch colon who underwent a window colostomy but died because of overwhelming sepsis. Due to its rarity, many surgeons in our part of the world may not be aware of it, hence increasing the potential to its mismanagement.

Transhepatic perforation of the gallbladder: rare complication of a common disease.

Acute cholecystitis leading to gallbladder perforation is relatively common. However, transhepatic perforation of the gallbladder leading to biliary peritonitis is very rare. We present a rare case of biliary peritonitis caused by transhepatic perforation of the gallbladder.

Giant sacrococcygeal teratoma in an adult: case report.

Congenital sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is the most common germ cell tumour of infancy and childhood. Authors report a case of 18-year-old female with progressively enlarging sacral mass since birth. MRI showed a solid-cystic mass with no involvement of surrounding structures and it was excised completely by the post-anal route.

Intussusception due to non Hodgkin's lymphoma; different experiences in two children: two case reports.

In children, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been found to be the lead point in intussusception involving the terminal ileum. We present here two cases of ileal primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which presented as intussusception, highlighting the differing presentations of these children and their outcome, with a brief review of the literature.

Retroperitoneal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are rare, and those located retroperitoneally are even rarer. The authors present the case of a 52-year-old male farmer with a lump in the lower abdomen of 2 months in duration that was retroperitoneal in location. It was excised, and histopathologic examination revealed an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.

Comparison of aspiration-sclerotherapy with hydrocelectomy in the management of hydrocele: a prospective randomized study.

Background: Hydrocelectomy is practiced as the gold standard technique for the treatment of hydrocele worldwide. Aspiration and sclerotherapy is cheap, less invasive and safe compared to hydrocelectomy. However, the outcomes are inconsistent because of lack of uniformity in methods and sclerosing agents used.

Anorectal tuberculosis coexisting with adenocarcinoma: an unusual association.

Introduction: Tuberculosis affecting the anorectum is an uncommon extra-pulmonary form of the disease, and its association with malignancy is highly unusual.

Case Report: A 35 year lady presented with lower gastrointestinal bleed, altered bowel habit and significant weight loss. On examination, she had nodular stricture in the lower rectum, with friable mucosa, bleeding easily on touch.

Nonfamilial juvenile polyposis coli manifesting as massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage: report of two cases.

Juvenile polyposis syndrome is an uncommon hamartomatous disorder with gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations of varying degree and malignant potential. We report the cases of an 8-year-old girl and a 5-year-old girl who suffered massive lower GI hemorrhage. Neither patient had a family history of polyposis.
