Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare condition that is typically associated with appendicular adenocarcinoma. Other origins are rarely reported. Here, we report a rare case of abdominal PMP, which originated as gastric adenocarcinoma. The prognosis of the patient consisted of pathological diagnosis, with samples from exploratory laparotomy, radiological visualization, abdominal computed tomography (CT), and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We employed the standard treatment protocol for our patient, which was essentially surgical, applying a cytoreductive technique, in an attempt to remove all visible evidence of the disease, plus intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

A Rare Case of Sigmoid-Urachal Fistula in an Adult Male Resected Laparoscopically.
Asian J Endosc Surg

Fistulization involving both the sigmoid colon and urachus is exceedingly rare. While previous cases have often necessitated laparotomy due to the involvement of multiple organs, only one instance of successful laparoscopic surgery has been reported. Here, we present the second documented case of laparoscopic resection of a sigmoid-urachal fistula.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin, often associated with an increased risk of cancer. Specific autoantibodies, including anti-TIF1 (Transcription Intermediary Factor 1), have been linked to this risk. We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.

A 36-year-old woman with a history of neck swelling was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma, a common but typically slow-growing thyroid cancer with a good prognosis. Despite frequent lymph node metastasis, mortality rates are low. This cancer can rarely spread to unusual areas like the axillary region.

Patients with angina but without obstructive epicardial coronary disease still require a specific mechanistic diagnosis to enable targeted treatment. The overarching term "coronary microvascular dysfunction" (CMD) has been applied broadly - but is it correct? We present a series of case examples culminating a systematic exploration of our large clinical database to distinguish among four categories of coronary pathophysiology. First, by far the largest group of "no stenosis angina" patients exhibits subendocardial ischemia during intact flow through diffuse epicardial disease during dipyridamole vasodilator stress.

Adrenal haemorrhage in pregnancy is rare but can lead to significant maternal and foetal morbidity if unrecognised. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman in her second pregnancy, who was admitted at 34+4 weeks of gestation with severe abdominal pain. Despite initial unremarkable assessments, further imaging revealed a left adrenal haemorrhage, with evidence of prior right adrenal infarction, resulting in primary adrenal insufficiency.
