Patient: Female, 29 Final Diagnosis: Choledocho-duodenal fistula Symptoms: Abdominal pain • nausea • vomiting Medication: — Clinical Procedure: Gastro-jejunostomy • hepatico-jejunostomy Specialty: Surgery Objective: Rare co-existance of disease or pathology Background: Choledochoduodenal fistula is an uncommon complication secondary to peptic ulcer disease. Determining this diagnosis is challenging especially when confronted with unspecific physical and radiological findings. Case Report: Here we report a case of a 29-year-old Ethiopian female who presented to Geitaoui University Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon with epigastric pain and was diagnosed to have of choledochoduodenal fistula. Conclusions: Choledochoduodenal fistula is a rare complication of duodenal ulcer and this case report may help clinicians to identify suspected cases of this entity with similar presentations.
Rare co-existance of disease or pathology Background:Incidental finding of ectopic liver is gaining more attention especially during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.It is reported to be found in different locations as gallbladder, stomach, spleen, umbilical ligament and other intra-peritoneal and intra-thoracic sites. Case Reports:We present 2 cases of ectopic liver found on gallbladder during elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for 2 Lebanese females. Our findings were consistent with previous reports. The ectopic liver tissues measured 0.9 cm and 0.5 cm respectively, which were smaller than other reports. The liver tissue lacked a biliary system, which was similar to what has been previously reported in the literature. However, no malignant histological signs were seen when excised. Conclusions:These 2 cases highlight the fact that ectopic liver tissue may be encountered on the gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Awareness of this potential entity is beneficial to widen the differential diagnosis when identified on imaging studies pre-operatively or when found incidentally during surgery as in this case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
