Tuberculosis (TB) is a common infectious disease that most often affects the lungs, but it can also affect any other organ with a wide range of clinical manifestations. There are three forms of hepatic involvement: diffuse hepatic tuberculosis combined with pulmonary tuberculosis; diffuse hepatic tuberculosis without pulmonary involvement; and nodular or focal/local hepatic tuberculosis, which is a very rare form and presents a diagnostic challenge. We here report the case of a young Moroccan man presenting with biliary colic that had been evolving for a month, associated with a forme fruste of tuberculous impregnation.

Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the liver (SCC) is a rare and challenging pathology. As an aggressive cancer, the prognosis is extremely poor with less than 12 months overall survival. In view of its low prevalence, we report the case of an elderly patient with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the liver.

Solid pseudopapillary epithelial neoplasms of the pancreas are rare entities, first described in 1959 by Frantz. These tumors represent less than 2% of pancreatic cancers and mainly affect young women. They can reach a significant size and its radiological features can lead to diagnostic pitfalls, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, which are rare soft-tissue sarcomas that can appear anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract.

Textiloma, also known as gossypiboma, is a rare but well-documented entity. It involves the omission of surgical material during surgery. Gossypiboma remains a diagnostic dilemma to this day, due to its wide spectrum of clinical symptoms and numerous radiological pitfalls.

The superior mesenteric artery syndrome and nutcracker phenomenon are rare vascular disorders due to the abnormal development of the superior mesenteric artery stemming from the abdominal aorta with reduced angle (<22°) and resultant compression of the left renal vein and duodenum. It is an underreported entity due to the absence of specific pathognomonic signs. We report the case of a 59-year-old man, admitted for acute bilious vomiting, who underwent a gastroscopy and a computed tomography scan revealing a Wilkie's syndrome associated with a dilated posterior left renal vein communicating with the left ascending lumbar vein without connection with the inferior vena cava mimicking a nutcracker phenomenon.

Biloma is a severe complication that can result from bile duct disruption or hepatic trauma. It can occur after biliary surgery such as cholecystectomy or an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography manipulation and endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy. We present the case of a 59-year-old man admitted for jaundice, with pain in his right flank and fever, 10 days after an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for an ill-defined pancreatic lesion, associated with an infected biloma.

Article Synopsis
  • * Diagnosis involves imaging techniques, but confirmation requires histological examination of tissue samples.
  • * A case study describes a 59-year-old man with melena, where endoscopy revealed growths in the duodenum, and subsequent MRI and histology confirmed it as a duodenal lymphatic malformation.

Article Synopsis
  • Lemmel syndrome is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice that occurs due to a duodenal diverticulum blocking the common bile duct, without the presence of gallstones or tumors.
  • A 77-year-old woman with sepsis from cholangitis was diagnosed with Lemmel's syndrome after undergoing MRCP and gastroduodenoscopy, and she required surgical intervention due to failed endoscopic treatment.
  • This syndrome is often overlooked because it lacks specific symptoms, but imaging techniques like MRCP are crucial for diagnosis, and endoscopy is typically the first treatment option.

Enteroscopy has become an indispensable technique for the exploration and, in particular, the treatment of small intestine lesions. It is usually performed following video capsule endoscopy of the small intestine. Three equivalent techniques exist: double balloon enteroscopy, single balloon enteroscopy and spiral enteroscopy.

Each year, hundreds of cases of malaria are reported in Morocco and occur after anopheles in patients who have stayed in endemic areas, but transmission following an accident of exposure to blood is rare or exceptional, only about 20 cases are published. We report a case of malaria in a nursing staff following an accidental sting with a catheter needle.

Introduction: Bronchogenic cysts are developmental anomalies of the primitive foregut which mostly occur in the lung. Gastric bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare; few cases have been reported in the literature and the diagnosis was often made following surgical resection.

Case Presentation: A 40-year-old North African man was admitted to our hospital with a gastric submucosal mass.
