Case report of an angiosarcoma of the abdominal wall during liraglutide injections: A coincidence?

• Angiosarcoma is a very rare but highly aggressive malignant vascular tumor. • Abdominal wall is a very rare site for angiosarcoma and occurs almost exclusively in obese patients. • Liraglutide injection is explored for a possible association with the occurrence of angiosarcoma of the abdominal wall.

Three colonic cancers, two sites of complete occlusion, one patient: A case report.

Background: Synchronous colonic cancer incidence is uncommon, and awareness about this rare condition is improved recently. However, in the presence of acute colonic obstruction, investigation and management of synchronous colonic cancer can be difficult and challenging.

Case Summary: A patient presented with acute colonic obstruction with impending rupture and complete examination of this patient revealed the presence of three colonic cancers, of which two were completely occluding.

A Case of Torsion of the Gallbladder Suspected with SPECT-CT: Review and Recommendations.

Torsion or volvulus of the gallbladder is a rare situation that rapidly progresses to gangrene and linked with a poor prognosis, even death, if unrecognized and untreated. An interesting and rare case of gallbladder volvulus in which diagnosis was obtained by comparing CT images and HIDA scan with SPECT-CT is presented. Relevant literature is reviewed, and recommendations are outlined.

Prediction of complicated Clostridium difficile infection by pleural effusion and increased wall thickness on computed tomography.

Background: Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is often used to evaluate complications in patients with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), but no study has correlated CT findings with the risk of developing a complicated CDI. Furthermore, the value of CT has not been evaluated since the emergence of the BI/NAP1/027 hypervirulent strain of C. difficile.
