A granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a type of ovarian cancer that constitutes approximately 10% of all ovarian malignancies. In this case, a female patient with hypothyroidism and a history of irregular periods was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) after a radiological examination, which subsequently recommended surgery. Frozen section analysis and imprint cytology assisted in the intraoperative diagnosis of the tumor. These diagnostic tools helped adopt a minimally invasive surgery where only the affected ovary was removed, thus avoiding an extra surgical procedure. It is usually described as a low-grade cancer, but it can recur many years later. Therefore, repeated imaging and tumor markers should be used to monitor the patient after the treatment and ensure early detection of the relapse, thus improving the patient's prognosis.

Significance: Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 16% of all deaths. A common treatment is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), though up to 12% of bypass grafts fail during surgery. Early detection of graft failure by intraoperative graft patency assessment could prevent severe complications.

Serotonin syndrome is a condition associated with increased serotonergic transmission in the central nervous system. Although shortfalls with diagnostic criteria have led to misleading associations with multiple medications, a possible precipitant is diphenhydramine. Documentation of such an association would prove important for physician practice, as diphenhydramine remains one of the most popular antihistamines available.

Gallbladder volvulus (GV) is a rare surgical emergency characterized by the twisting of the gallbladder around its mesentery, leading to vascular compromise and gangrene. It is often misdiagnosed as acute gangrenous cholecystitis due to overlapping symptoms, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. Definitive identification is typically made intraoperatively.

Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains a public health burden, with potentially high mortality rates when not managed properly. Recent studies indicate bleeding as the most prevalent complication, followed by perforation or penetration into adjacent organs and pyloric obstruction. In rare cases, posterior wall or greater curvature ulcers of the stomach can penetrate, leading to splenic artery pseudoaneurysms.
