Formation of a Pseudoaneurysm after a .22 Caliber Bullet Embolized to the Left Femoral Artery: A Case Report.

Bullet embolization is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of gunshot wounds, particularly in lowpowered and small-caliber bullets. When these small bullets enter a large elastic vessel, they have the potential to leave a small entrance hole that can form a traumatic pseudoaneurysm. These pseudoaneurysms, which may be life-protecting at first, may rupture and lead to exsanguination if not found.

Primary Basal Cell Carcinoma Masquerading as Metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma in the Left Axilla.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is considered the most common malignancy in Caucasians. Despite its high prevalence, BCC has extremely low rates of metastasis. The patient was a 71-year-old male with extensive BCC and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) skin cancer history who had an extensive, palpable left axillary mass concerning enlarged lymph nodes.

Metastatic Basal Cell Carcinoma with Axillary Lymph Node Invasion Treated with Left Axillary Node Dissection.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, accounting for 50% of all cancer in the U.S. Mortality is often considered negligible due to the rare rate of metastasis at 0.

Bouveret Syndrome: A Rare and Dangerous Cause of Gastric Outlet Obstruction.

Bouveret syndrome is a rare and dangerous complication of cholelithiasis in which a gallstone lodges in the distal stomach or proximal duodenum, resulting in gastric outlet obstruction. We report the case of an 85-year-old female that presented without many of the clinical symptoms and complaints characteristic of gallstone ileus, further complicated by significant cardiac pathology. We review the existing studies of this uncommon disease and discuss its clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic options.

Advanced Stage Breast Cancer on Initial Presentation Following One Year Hiatus in Screening Mammography Due to COVID-19 Pandemic.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer death affecting women in the U.S., behind only skin and lung cancers, respectively.

Laparoscopic Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair: Overview of "True Herniotomy" Technique and Review of Current Evidence.

Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed operations in the pediatric population. While the majority of pediatric surgeons routinely use laparoscopy in their practices, a relatively small number prefer a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair over the traditional open repair. This article provides an overview of the three port laparoscopic technique for inguinal hernia repair, as well as a review of the current evidence with respect to visualization and identification of hernias, recurrence rates, operative times, complication rates, postoperative pain, and cosmesis.

A Case of Incisional Endometrioma that Presented as an Abdominal Mass.

Although endometriosis is a common condition in women of reproductive age, the incidence of endometrioma in prior surgical incision sites is rare.We present a case of an abdominal wall mass in a female patient with a history of obstetrical surgery. The mass was visualized with ultrasound and computerized tomography, removed by wide excision, and identified via frozen section.

Laparoscopic pericardial window.

The creation of a drainage orifice in the pericardium for the release of an accumulated effusion has been proven to be an effective means to eliminate the physiologic effects of a cardiac tamponade. Numerous surgical approaches have been used to create an opening in the pericardium for this purpose. Thoracic and thoracoscopic approaches have been found to produce a fair amount of morbidity by further compromising an already compromised cardiopulmonary system by necessitating an invasion into the hemithorax and the requirement of a thoracostomy tube.
