A case of Morgagni hernia presenting in adulthood is presented. This form of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is rare in itself and is known to present in adulthood in some cases. But presentation after having undergone three surgeries-PDA ligation, appendicectomy and a full term pregnancy followed by LSCS is even rarer. This case is therefore by any yardstick an extremely rare one.

Unveiling the Masquerade: Early Gastric Cancer Mimicking Advanced Disease with Ectopic Pancreas Intrusion.

Gastric cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and its diagnosis and management are of paramount importance. Ectopic pancreas (EP) refers to an embryological abnormality where healthy pancreatic tissue develops without anatomical, vascular, or neural communication with the normal pancreas. We report the case of a patient whose initial endoscopic evaluation suggested early gastric cancer, but computed tomography scan (CT scan) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) indicated a locally advanced tumor.

Article Synopsis
- Giacomo Torno was born in Naples in 1539 or 1541 and became a member of the Clerics Regular Theatines at 18, being welcomed on October 30, 1558.
- He suffered a stroke on December 4, 1608, and experienced torment during his illness, characterized by spasms and discomfort, leading to his death 45 days later.
- Analysis of his mummified body revealed a skin discontinuity at the sacrum, suggesting a wound that occurred during his life, which has been linked to the first recorded instance of the Kennedy terminal ulcer.

Department of Medical Oncology, IRCCS Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori (IRST) "Dino Amadori", Meldola, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can arise in various body parts, with primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) being particularly rare, exemplified by a case of a 72-year-old woman diagnosed with it.
- Diagnostic imaging, including CT scans and ultrasound-endoscopy, revealed a significant mass at the celiac tripod, leading to further tests confirming poorly differentiated carcinoma with squamous differentiation.
- The study emphasizes the need for well-defined diagnostic criteria for GSCC due to the lack of consensus in current classifications, suggesting that a standardized diagnostic panel might improve accuracy.
Left Ventricular Thrombosis in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Myocarditis Mimicking ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Cardiology Unit, Morgagni Pierantoni Hospital Forlì, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- A case of ventricular thrombosis linked to myocarditis from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) presented as a myocardial infarction and worsened by severe cardiogenic shock.
- The rare occurrence of intraventricular thrombus formation in ICI-related myocarditis complicates diagnosis, particularly when distinguishing it from tumor masses in cancer patients.
- Effective diagnosis requires thorough clinical assessment and advanced imaging techniques, as cardiovascular complications from ICIs, though infrequent, can have high mortality rates.

Laser in Dermatology Unit, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Via Cracovia 50, 00133, Rome, Italy.
The purpose of this clinical case was to test the efficacy and safety of the long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-YAG laser in the treatment of multiple angiokeratomas on the labia majora of the vulva. Benign vascular neoplasms known as angiokeratomas are characterized by well-defined, hyperkeratotic, reddish-black papules, or plaques. The patient underwent one treatment session with a long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-YAG laser.
