HighlightsDuplication of gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly that requires special attention.Preoperative diagnosis can be challenging to the surgeon who should be aware of the anatomic variations of the gallbladder and biliary system.Presence of cystic lesions adjacent to the gallbladder on imaging should raise the suspicion of gallbladder anomaly. Further diagnostic preoperative imaging is important to avoid surprises, complications and overlooking of a second gallbladder.MRCP is the imaging modality of choice for suspected duplicate gallbladder.We think the risks associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for duplicate gallbladders are comparable to those with non-duplicate gallbladder. However, these cases probably do better in the hand of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon or a hepatobiliary surgeon.
Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. In this report, we present a 39 year-old patient who came with cecal volvulus, and we will discuss this very rare entity
Breast cancer (BC) and malignant lymphoma (ML) each of them are considered as a common primary malignant disease worldwide. Synchronous occurrences of BC and ML are rare. We are presenting a case of a 34 year old patient with breast cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma detected in non-sentinel lymph node biopsy. This represents a rare case of coexistence of dual malignancies. We review the literature and discuss possible etiologies for these synchronous tumors.
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.
