Published: March 2012

Sclerosing peritonitis is an uncommon condition that has been reported in patients with luteinized ovarian thecomas, although some pathologists have suggested that the underlying ovarian pathology is not always neoplastic. We now report sclerosing peritonitis in a patient with an uncommon, luteinized variant of an adult granulosa cell tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this association has not been described previously. We suggest that sclerosing peritonitis may result from the release of substances by luteinized ovarian stromal cells, in the context of hyperplasia or neoplasia, which stimulate the proliferation of submesothelial fibroblasts.

This case series explores four distinct instances of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), a rare but serious condition characterized by the encapsulation of abdominal viscera, commonly referred to as abdominal cocoon. EPS is associated with severe complications, including bowel obstruction and sepsis, which can significantly impact patient outcomes. The first case involves a 41-year-old male patient who had undergone a liver transplant and ultimately succumbed to extensively drug-resistant (XDR) sepsis.

Liposuction has been popular with the public since its inception. The fat accumulated in the body is sucked outside the body through negative pressure suction, thereby reducing the fat cells in the body and achieving the effect of local plasticity. Although liposuction is a relatively safe procedure, due to the lack of correct judgment of the patient's condition and treatment by quite a few cosmetic practitioners, the complications of liposuction are gradually increasing.

The aim of this study is to describe the ultrasonographic features of feline gastrointestinal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia (FGESF) before histological diagnosis and during follow-up after surgical excision and/or medical treatment. This multicentric retrospective case series study includes medical records of cats diagnosed histologically, which had an ultrasound before diagnosis and a minimum of one follow-up ultrasound at least 4 weeks after treatment. Thirty cats were included in the study.
