Sump syndrome is a rare complication of biliary surgery that is now rarely seen in the era of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). It occurs when the distal common bile duct becomes obstructed between an anastomosis from a choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) and the ampulla of Vater, forming a sump that accumulates debris. Sump syndrome should be considered as a diagnosis in patients who present with cholangitis or pancreatitis and any history of biliary diversion, regardless of the time of presentation. We report a 61-year-old female who presented with sump syndrome two years after undergoing a side-to-side CDD.

Rare bone diseases are clinically and genetically heterogenous. Despite those differences, the underlying pathophysiology is not infrequently different. Several of these diseases are characterized by abnormal bone metabolism and turnover with subsequent abnormalities in markers of bone turnover, rendering them useful adjuncts in the diagnostic process.

In this article, we aim to demonstrate that thyroid carcinoma can metastasize to the small bowel. This case report involves a 66-year-old woman who underwent total thyroidectomy surgery in 2019, with histopathology revealing a 3A undifferentiated thyroid cancer. She presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder characterized by the accumulation of glucocerebroside lipids within multiple organs due to a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme (acid β-glucosidase). It is an inherited autosomal recessive disease. The onset of symptoms can vary depending on disease type and severity, with milder forms presenting in adulthood.

Donor cell leukemia (DCL), in which malignancy evolves from donor's stem cells, is an infrequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) derived from donor cell is extremely rare and only four cases have been reported to date. Herein we report a case of donor cell-derived APL developing 32 months after haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide for myelodysplastic syndromes.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective treatment for patients experiencing ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias. While complications after RFA are generally rare, the occurrence of coronary artery (CA) injury, albeit infrequent, can have significant clinical implications. Given the proximity of CAs to common ablation sites, understanding the interplay between RFA and CA perfusion pathophysiology is paramount.
