Mirizzi syndrome type V complicated with triple fistula: a case report.

Background: Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a complicated form of longstanding, symptomatic cholelithiasis. According to Beltran Classification MS Type V has been introduced to describe the cholecystoenteric fistula, with or without gallstone ileus. Mirizzi syndrome Type V with double fistula has been reported in the past; however, the triple fistula is an even rarer case, first described in the international literature so far.

Adrenal Cortical Rests in the Fallopian Tube: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature.

We report an extremely unusual finding discovered incidentally during a routine pathologic evaluation of a fallopian tube, surgically removed on the grounds of ectopic pregnancy. We came across a minute yellowish nodule situated within the wall of the salpinx, which corresponded to ectopic adrenal cortex, as verified by microscopical examination, and coexisted with salpingitis isthmica nodosa. A research of the available English literature on this subject confirmed the rareness of the entity we encountered.

Disseminated tuberculosis: A neglected entity in immunocompromised hemodialysis patients.

End-stage renal disease is considered a factor predisposing to increased risk of tuberculosis with frequent extrapulmonary localization. Although extrapulmonary tuberculosis has been observed for decades, disseminated tuberculosis, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts, remains rather neglected. We report an unusual case of an immunocompromised patient with a late diagnosis and delayed treatment of genitourinary tuberculosis that subsequently led to the diagnosis of vertebral and miliary tuberculosis (disseminating tuberculosis).
