Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most commonly diagnosed carcinoma and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a congenital condition where in the internal organs of the abdomen and thorax lie in mirror images of their normal position. Thus far, there are very few reports on cases of SIT coexisting with HCC. Our case series is probably the largest series in world literature. The cohort of this retrospective study included a total of nine patients diagnosed with SIT-HCC and treated in our hospital between January 2013 and May 2018. Clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and outcomes were summarized. Treatment strategies included surgery, transarterial chemoembolization, and microwave ablation. The diagnosis and treatment of patients with SIT are challenging because of organ reversion. The current treatment strategies for different stages of liver cancer are safe and feasible for patients with SIT-HCC.

Situs anomalies, including situs inversus and situs ambiguous (SAMB), are rare congenital conditions typically noted in pediatric populations, with SAMB being particularly uncommon in adults. This case study addresses the incidental discovery of situs ambiguous with polysplenia in a 65-year-old man evaluated for suspected adrenal adenoma. The patient's medical history included benign prostatic hyperplasia and tuberculous pleurisy.

Background: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by dysfunction of motile cilia. While approximately 50 genes have been identified, around 25% of PCD patients remain genetically unexplained; elucidating the pathogenicity of specific variants remains a challenge.
Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing were conducted to identify potential pathogenic variants of PCD.

Introduction: Situs inversus is a rare congenital condition where the organs in the chest and abdomen are reversed, thus complicating surgeries such as lung transplantation. Kartagener syndrome (KS), associated with situs inversus, includes chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis, which can progress to end-stage lung disease requiring transplantation. This review discusses the unique surgical considerations, technical challenges, and outcomes of lung transplantation in patients with situs inversus, particularly KS.

Situs inversus partialis (SIP) is an extremely rare congenital disorder in which most of the visceral organs are located on the opposite side of their usual anatomical locations. The condition is usually associated with levocardia, in which the apex of the heart is directed toward the left side. In our case study, a female patient with a history of dysphagia and weight loss presented to the outpatient clinic under the urgent two-week wait pathway.
