A case of isolated SMA dissection with failed initial conservative management.

Isolated superior mesenteric dissection (ISMAD) is an uncommon condition, often diagnosed incidentally for presentations of acute abdominal pain. Early identification and treatment are crucial as complications such as bowel ischemia or vessel rupture can occur. There remain no established treatment guidelines, making surgical and endovascular indications controversial.

Appendiceal Bulge on Routine Colonoscopy: Not All Disease Is Luminal.

 is an extremely rare pathology accounting for 0.3-0.7% of all appendiceal pathology.

Uncommon Presentation of Undiagnosed B-Cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder as Nodular Pulmonary Amyloidosis.

B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders are characterized by the accumulation of mature B lymphocytes in the bone marrow, lymphoid tissues, and/or peripheral blood. They can cause amyloid deposits in the lungs. In rare cases, lung nodules can be the first sign of this disorder.

Psoriasiform Dermatitis in a COVID-19 Patient.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory papulosquamous disorder which affects around 2% of the world's population. A peak exacerbation in psoriatic symptoms was noted during COVID-19 due to lack of access to dermatological care mixed with heightened emotional stress during the pandemic. This case report describes a 52-year-old admitted male patient who sustained a diffuse rash on multiple areas of his body a week prior to testing positive for COVID-19.

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor Mimicking a Cavitary Lesion in the Lung: A Case Report and a Comprehensive Literature Review.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are a group of soft tissue neoplasms with a predilection for the lungs and abdominopelvic cavity, characterized by a mixture of fasciitis-like, compact spindle cells, hypocellular fibrous histologic patterns, and distinctive molecular features. Due to their unspecified symptoms and non-specific radiologic presentation, the histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of a biopsy specimen is crucial for the diagnosis. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with intermittent hemoptysis diagnosed with a pulmonary IMT.

Chronic Pain Secondary to a Cervical Intramedullary Ependymoma: A Case Report.

Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCT) are a rare subset of neoplasms classified based on anatomical location. The most common presenting symptom is pain; however, the high prevalence of back pain in the general public secondary to common causes including degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis, makes diagnosing spinal cord tumors a challenge. We present a case of a 43-year-old male with a cervical intramedullary ependymoma to discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of these spinal tumors.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Tumor Thrombus to the Hepatic Veins and the Right Atrium: A Case Report and Review Exploring Various Presentations and Treatment Options.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer and cancer-related deaths in the world. Some of the risk factors for the development of HCC include Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), chronic alcoholism, autoimmune hepatitis, among others. One manifestation of HCC includes tumor thrombus (TT) to the right atrium (RA), which occurs in 0.
