Key Clinical MessageA 20‐day‐old boy was presented with left scrotal swelling, clinically diagnosed as hydrocele. Ultrasonographic findings suggested hydrocele with paratesticular mass. Intraoperatively we found paratesticular mass, separate from left testis. Specimen revealed fibroconnective tissue with mucoid degeneration and focal areas of calcification suggesting meconium periorchitis. It is important to consider meconium periorchitis as one of the etiologies, thereby avoiding unnecessary orchidectomies.
International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. IJCRI publishes ABSTRACTIntroduction: Acute pancreatitis is the acute inflammation of the pancreatic gland, attributed to a wide range of etiological factors. It is a well-known fact that approximately 80% of the causes are associated with cholelithiasis and alcohol abuse. However, the exact incidence of drug induced pancreatitis is difficult to determine due to the rare presentation, it requires larger, case-controlled studies to determine its incidence and prevalence. Up to 2% cases may be caused by drug. Case Report: This is a case report focusing on a 26-year-old female patient who developed acute pancreatitis following administration of levofloxacin and methylprednisolone for treatment of pneumonitis in intensive care unit. Both the drugs appear to be responsible for pancreatitis because of temporal relationship between the administration of drug, onset of symptoms and improvement of clinical symptoms when drugs were stopped. Conclusion:Levofloxacin and methylprednisolone appears to be responsible for pancreatitis because of the temporal relationship between the administration of drug, onset and improvement of clinical symptoms when drugs were stopped.
Lipomas are tumors which grow into primary mesenchymal tumors. They develop in areas of abundant adipose tissue. Lipomas represent 4 to 5% of all benign tumors' in the body. If a Lipoma exceeds at least 10 cm in one dimension or weighs a minimum of 1000 grams, it is considered to be a giant lipoma. We report a case of a 55-year-old female. She was operated for left lipoma breast weighing 12.5 kg. This is probably the largest lipoma of breast reported in the literature. Postoperative recovery of the patient was uneventful. The case prompted this report because of its challenging size, location, diagnosis, and reconstructive solution.
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.
