Poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary location a case report of perineal presentation.

Introduction: Cancers of unknown primary origin (CUP) pose a significant clinical challenge, representing a small percentage (1 to 5 %) of overall cancer cases. The patient is a 31-year-old male who has been diagnosed with poorly differentiated infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma, which has been classified as CUP. The exceptional perineal presentation and diagnostic process serve as a reminder of the diverse nature of CUPs and the crucial role played by advanced imaging methods and a multidisciplinary approach.

Incidentally revealing of CHD in a 52 year-old man: Case report and literature review.

Congenital hernia of the diaphragmatic dome is defined as a congenital embryopathy where all or part of the diaphragmatic dome fails to form during embryonic development. The classification is based on the location of the defect in the diaphragm. In this report, we present a case of Morgani hernia in a 52-year-old man whose sole initial symptom was dyspnea, occurring within the context of a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection.

Ischemic penile necrosis following embolization of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia: A case report.

Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) provides a minimally invasive approach for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by occluding prostatic arteries to decrease prostate volume. While offering benefits, PAE can lead to severe complications, such as ischemic necrosis of the penis, due to unintended embolization of penile arteries. This is highlighted by the case of a 62-year-old man who, after PAE, suffered from glans necrosis accompanied by intense perineal pain and acute urinary retention.

Surgical Treatment of Pseudoaneurysm of the Right Hepatic Artery Following Cholecystectomy: A Case Report.

Pseudoaneurysms of the right hepatic artery following cholecystectomy are caused by either vascular damage or erosion after a biliary leak. Symptoms often include haemobilia, melena, vomiting, jaundice, and hemodynamic failure due to aneurysm rupture. The ideal treatment is arterial embolization or, in rare cases, stenting.

Floating Thrombus in the Aortic Arch: Rare Images.

Aortic floating thrombus is a rare, life-threatening disease. Most cases of aortic thrombus are diagnosed after embolic events; however, on rare occasion we may diagnose this condition incidentally during routine examinations as in our case.

Cardiac Pre-tamponade Secondary to Generalized Myxedema Due to Neglected Hashimoto's Thyroiditis in a Child With Down Syndrome.

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal disorder in live-born infants, often associated with intellectual disability and various medical conditions, including thyroid dysfunction. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), an autoimmune subtype, is a leading cause of acquired hypothyroidism in DS children. Severe hypothyroidism can precipitate myxedema, a critical condition linked to complications like pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade.

Sven Ivar Seldinger (1921-1998): The Founding Father of Interventional Radiology.

Sven Ivar Seldinger, a Swedish radiologist, laid the cornerstone of modern interventional radiology in 1953 with the introduction of his innovative technique for catheter insertion. This technique, known as the Seldinger technique, represents a pivotal advancement in medical procedures, offering a safer, less invasive method for vascular access. The elegance and effectiveness of this technique not only refined angiography and other catheter-based interventions but also heralded the birth of interventional radiology as a major therapeutic specialty.

Clinico-Metabolic Profile and Follow-Up of Familial Cases Compared to Sporadic Cases in a Lyon Series of Type 1 Diabetic Children.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinical, biochemical, therapeutic, and progressive characteristics of children with familial type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to those with non-familial T1D. Compare within the first group, the phenotype of type 1 diabetics inherited from the father with those inherited from the mother.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study lasting 10 years at the L'hôpital Femme Mère Enfant (Woman-Mother-Child Hospital) in Lyon, France.

Closed Thoracic Trauma as an Exceptional Cause of Pneumorrhachis: A Case Report.

Pneumorrhachis, a rare clinical entity, refers to the presence of air in the spinal canal. Air can enter the spinal canal through various pathways, including the lungs and mediastinum (the space between the lungs), or directly from external sources due to trauma or infection. In rare cases, pneumorrhachis may result from repeated secondary Valsalva maneuvers, which is a complication of large-area pneumothorax.

Genital self-mutilation in psychiatric patients: A case report.

Introduction: Genital self-mutilation presents significant surgical challenges, particularly when complicated by psychiatric disorders. This case highlights the critical role of surgical intervention in the management of self-inflicted severe penile injuries and underscores the need to integrate surgical and psychiatric care to optimise results.

Case Presentation: A 43-year-old man, with progressive psychiatric issues, self-inflicted penile amputation.

Differentiating Leukostasis From COVID-19 Pneumonia: Clinical and Radiological Perspectives for the Right Decision-Making.

Leukostasis is a non-infectious complication of acute leukemia. Pathophysiologically, it is characterized by an accumulation of blasts in the pulmonary capillaries. Clinically, this syndrome of hyperleukocytosis or leucocytosis leads to pulmonary and/or neurological lesions.

Epidermoid cyst discovered concomitant with torsion of the spermatic cord: A case report.

Testicular epidermoid cysts, accounting for 1%-2% of all testicular masses, present a diagnostic challenge often identified post-orchiectomy. Conservative surgery is recommended, emphasizing the need for accurate preoperative diagnosis. A 28-year-old patient with acute left scrotal pain, initially suggestive of testicular torsion, underwent intraoperative exploration revealing extra-vaginal torsion with an incidentally discovered 2-cm intra-testicular mass.

Prostatic cyst: A rare entity with differential diagnostic challenges in urology - A case report.

A 62-year-old man presented with a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level of 9.89 ng/mL during routine screening. The clinical examination revealed lower urinary tract symptoms, along with a soft, bulging, painless mass in the left lobe of the prostate during digital rectal examination.

Meta-analysis of MTHFR C677T polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus in MENA region.

Background And Aims: The association of the C677T polymorphism of the Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) gene with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been widely debated. Therefore, our aim is to conclusively resolve this controversy in the Middle East and North Africa region population through a meta-analysis.

Materiel And Methods: We identified relevant articles by searching literature databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct, to retrieve studies that examined the association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the risk of developing T2DM.

Rare images of an intense 18F-FDG PET-scan uptake in an incidentally discovered thyroid lesion: A case report.

Thyroid carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the thyroid gland, which plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism. Thyroid cancer can manifest in various forms. We report the case of an 89 year-old patient presenting an incidental intense Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET-computed tomography (PET-CT) uptake within a thyroid lesion and the role of 18F-FDG PET-CT guiding the anatomopathological examination.

Unusual location of myxopapillary ependymoma in the sacrum: Case report and review of the literature.

Myxopapillary ependymoma, a rare variant of ependymoma, commonly occurs in the conus medullaris or filum terminale. The rarity of these tumors can make their diagnosis and treatment challenging. This case report presents an atypical occurrence of myxopapillary ependymoma within the sacrum in a 68-year-old patient presented with a 3-month history of persistent left-sided low back pain radiating to the legs and fecal dysfunction.
