We present here a case of ileocolic intussusception secondary to mantle cell lymphoma which was revealed by abdominal pain and vomiting that was treated by surgical resection followed by chemotherapy.

Enteric fistulization of a common iliac vein aneurysm.

Iliac vein aneurysm is rare. Its complications include rupture, thromboembolism, and enteric fistulization. If a patient with surgical history presents with gastrointestinal bleeding, the veno-enteric fistula should be part of the differential diagnoses.

Gastrointestinal bleeding due to jejunal metastasis of pleomorphic lung carcinoma: a case report.

Unlabelled: Gastrointestinal metastasis of pleomorphic lung cancer presents with nonspecific manifestations, leading to delayed diagnosis. Herein, the authors report the case of a 56-year-old patient who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding due to pleomorphic lung carcinoma.

Case Presentation: A 56-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with melena.

Gallstone ileus: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Gallstone ileus (GI) is defined as the occlusion of the intestinal lumen due to the impaction of one or more gallstones. The optimal management of GI is not consensual. We report a rare case of GI with a successful surgical treatment for a 65 year-old-female.

Are biopsies during endoscopic ultrasonography necessary for a suspected esophageal leiomyoma? Is laparoscopy always feasible?

The present letter to the editor is related to the work entitled "Large leiomyoma of lower esophagus diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography-fine needle aspiration: A case report." Although endoscopic ultrasonography seems necessary in a suspected leiomyoma of the esophagus, the performance of biopsies fine needle aspiration is controversial as it increases the risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, and intraoperative perforations. Laparoscopy is the best treatment strategy for small tumors.

Spontaneous rupture of an infected pseudocyst of the pancreas: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: A pancreatic pseudocyst is a known complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis. A pseudocyst rupture into the abdomen causes peritonitis, which can be fatal if surgical treatment is delayed. Here in we report the case of a 46-year-old woman presenting with a pancreatic pseudocyst doubly complicated with infection and rupture causing sepsis shock.

Intraperitoneal migration of hydatid cyst of the liver with intact proligerous membrane: Hydatid delivery.

•Intra-peritoneal migration of hydatid cysts is a rare complication.•Intact proligerous membrane is a protective factor.•Surgery is the best treatment and should be performed timely.

Hydatid cyst of the ilium: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Hydatid cyst is a common parasitic disease in endemic countries. It frequently occurs in the liver and lungs. Ilium involvement is extremely rare.

A pancreatic metastasis of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: a rare case report.

Unlabelled: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. It is characterized by abrupt development with local and distant metastases. Metastases are essentially present in the lung.

Myxofibrosarcoma of the abdominal wall : A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma characterized by diffuse infiltration patterns. Myxofibrosarcoma arises often in extremities. Its occurrence in the abdominal wall is extremely rare.

Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the pancreas: A case report.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) represent the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. In rare cases, these tumors do not develop in the gastrointestinal tract and are defined as extra-gastro-intestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs). Pancreatic EGIST is extremely rare.

Primary small bowel volvulus: A case report and literature review.

Background: Small bowel volvulus (SBV) is an aberrant rotation of the small bowel segment along the axis of its mesentery.Secondary SBV is the most frequent situation. Postoperative adhesions represent the main cause.

Leiomyosarcoma of the small bowel: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Malignant tumors of the small bowel are rare. The jejunum, ileum, and duodenum represent the most common sites of intestinal leiomyosarcoma (LMS). Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old patient having ileal LMS successfully treated with surgical resection.

Primary splenic lymphoma discovered on massive splenomegaly: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Malignant lymphoma occurs in all the systemic organs. Rarely, large B-cell lymphoma is located in the spleen, making the diagnosis difficult. Herein, we report a patient presenting with massive splenomegaly due to LBCL.

Anterior trans-olecranial dislocation of the elbow in children: A case report of an unusual form of elbow dislocation and review of literature.

• -olecranial fracture-dislocations are rare injuries in children. • It's a real therapeutic emergency. • Periosteum incarceration needs to be considered if closed reduction failed.

Ileal gastrointestinal stromal tumor causing mesenteric gangrene.

To our knowledge, this is one of the rare literature reports of an ileal GIST complicated with mesenteric gangrene. We reported successful surgical treatment. Infection of GIST is an extremely rare complication that should be treated with no delays to avoid rupture and peritonitis.

Leiomyoma of the esophagus: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Benign tumors represent less than 1% of esophageal neoplasms. Esophageal leiomyoma is a very rare tumor that arises from mesenchymal tissue. We present here a case of leiomyoma of the esophagus which was revealed by dysphagia and vomiting that was treated by surgical enucleation.

Acquired double pylorus presenting as a gastrointestinal bleeding.

We present the case of a 65-year-old man without a past medical history who was admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding. The case shows an acquired double pylorus due to probable pre pyloric ulcer.

Validation of DIABSCORE in screening for Type 2 Diabetes and prediabetes in Tunisian population.

Aims: To perform a validation of DIABSCORE in a sample of Tunisian adults and find out the optimal cut-off point for screening of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes.

Methods: 225 adults 18-75 years and a subgroup of 138 adults (18-54 years), with undiagnosed T2D from the region of Cap-Bon, Tunisia were included in the present study. The DIABSCORE was calculated based on: age, waist/height ratio, family history of T2D and gestational diabetes.
