Background: Fluid collection in a femoral hernia sac designated as a femorocele is an extremely uncommon surgical condition. Till date 9 cases of unilateral femorocele and one case of bilateral femorocele have been reported in English literature.
Objective: Thus making the case presented the second case of bilateral femorocele in English literature.
Case Report: A case of bilateral femorocele in a patient suffering from rheumatic heat disease who had undergone dual valvular replacement with ascites due to cardiac cirrhosis is presented to highlight the surgical challenges in management of such a rare case.
Discussion: Pathophysiology, clinical features, investigations and managemeny of femorocele are discussed.
Conclusion: Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and scrotum is diagnostic. Open surgery in the form of dissection of sac with high ligation followed by obliteration of femoral ring is therapeutic. There is no scope of laparoscopy in such a case.

Approximately 5-10% of patients with hypertension have secondary hypertension. We describe a case of secondary hypertension from bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS): "Pickering syndrome." This is a case of hypertension secondary to bilateral RAS which provides an opportunity to review secondary hypertension with a specific focus on RAS, in terms of when to consider work up, causes of secondary hypertension, diagnostic testing, and treatment.

One of the most crucial stages of palliative care is the last days and hours of life, which require special attention and knowledgeable identification of clinical signs described as signs of impending death (SID). Our case series of 11 patients receiving home palliative care describes bilateral hypoactive, stereotyped upper arm movements (scratching of the head, forehead, and nose) that were previously unknown or described, often accompanied by SID.

Angiosarcoma is an extremely uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm overall and moreso in female genital organs such as the ovary. Diagnosing primary ovarian angiosarcoma remains challenging on clinical grounds due to the absence of specific clinical symptoms as well as on histopathological analysis especially in poorly differentiated subtypes due to non-specific and overlapping morphologic features. Misdiagnosis in such scenarios can be devastating as this tumor is clinically very aggressive.
