Muscular hernias in the lower limb are a rare entity that have seldom been described in the literature, to the extent that the seminal paper on the subject remains a case series from 1929. Here, we present a case of tibialis anterior muscle hernia and discuss the aetiology behind the same. Furthermore, we attempt to amalgamate existing knowledge to provide some guidance for investigation and management of this important diagnostic consideration.
Authors are presenting the case of a 34year old female, with no known comorbidities, who after recent travel to Pakistan, presented with fever for 1 month and was diagnosed with typhoid fever.During her admission she developed bleeding per rectum and abdominal pain labeled as right-side colitis, confirmed by endoscopy and CT scan, which was managed surgically by extended right hemicolectomy and ileostomy.The aim of this case is to discuss a rare complication of typhoid fever which is lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and high light the importance of considering rare infectious cases if not in endemic areas.
We present a case of a young woman, with no known comorbidities, who presented with bilateral breasts lumps noted 6 months prior to her initial clinic visit. On examination, both breast masses were felt bilaterally. The masses were completely excised, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of breast tubular adenoma. This report aimed to present a rare benign breast neoplasm and discuss the challenges in the diagnosis and management of such condition.
We are presenting a twenty-year-old female, who presented with distal left little finger pain for more than a year. Pain is very localized to the nail root, and increases in severity in cold weather or exposed to cold water. The patient was diagnosed based on history and physical examination to have a glomus tumor and surgical excision was done after that and histopathological examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis. The aim of this case is to present a rare disease and to show the pronounced treatment of such a case.
Introduction Benign cystic mesothelioma of the peritoneum is a rare, benign abdominal tumor. It can present with vague signs and symptoms and is often found on imaging or incidentally during surgery. Presentation of case We report the case of a 30-year-old man presenting with acute abdominal pain that radiated to the right iliac fossa. No masses were found on superficial or deep palpation or on conducting a sonography. The patient underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy with an appendectomy, which revealed a perforated appendix and two cysts in the pelvis and iliac fossa. Discussion A benign cystic mesothelioma is an inclusion cyst found in the peritoneal cavity and has no specific clinical presentation. It can be symptomatic or found incidentally during surgery. Benign cystic mesotheliomas have a high recurrence rate and may undergo malignant transformation. Conclusion Complete surgical excision of benign cystic mesothelioma must always be the first step of the treatment plan for this condition. It is difficult to treat with no evidence-based treatment modality available; thus, treatment should only be undertaken in a specialized center.
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.
