Pancreatic pseudocyst is a complication of acute pancreatitis and it usually manifests with abdominal pain. We report the case of a 45-year-old man with a history of acute pancreatitis who presented with abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and a palpable inguinal mass. Computed tomography scan revealed a large loculated pseudocyst that dissected through the pelvic cavity towards the inguinal canal, compressing pelvic and inguinal structures. When a patient with a history of pancreatitis develops an inguinal mass, a dissecting pancreatic pseudocyst should be suspected.
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common AIDS-related neoplasm and is one of the AIDS-defining illnesses. It most frequently presents with cutaneous lesions, but may also involve organ systems. Most cases of gastrointestinal (GI) involvement are clinically silent and found incidentally on imaging studies or endoscopy. Sole involvement of the GI tract can be seen with or without cutaneous disease; however, the latter has been reported as rare by some investigators. We report a case of a 25-year-old man with HIV who presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) and disseminated GI involvement by KS.
