Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome often presents with small bowel obstruction due to acute angulation of the SMA, thereby compressing the duodenum. This syndrome is a rare, sporadic disease, which is often caused by rapid weight loss. However, there may be a genetic predisposition to SMA syndrome, due to a congenitally shortened ligament of Treitz or a more distal origination of the SMA on the abdominal aorta. In this study, we present a patient who was diagnosed with SMA syndrome despite not exhibiting the classic weight-loss clinical picture. Interestingly, the patient reported a family history of SMA syndrome in her mother who had experienced a similar presentation.

Testicular leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare finding in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). Here, we present a report of a 30-year-old individual diagnosed with complete AIS who presented with an inguinal mass subsequently identified as a right sided testicular leiomyoma. While leiomyoma are generally considered benign, controversies persist regarding the potential for malignancy in inguinal masses among AIS patients.

Introduction And Importance: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, or aorto-mesenteric clamp syndrome, is a rare condition where the third portion of the duodenum is compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This syndrome often affects adolescents and young adults, with predisposing factors including significant weight loss, anatomical variations, and spinal deformities. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for managing symptoms and preventing complications.
