Upper Abdominal

A 33-year-old, 8 weeks pregnant, presented with severe upper abdominal pain with vomiting on a background of a previous laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for reflux disease. An urgent MRI had shown herniation of the fundoplication wrap through the diaphragmatic hiatus. The cause of her symptoms was attributed to hyperemesis gravidarum. The plan was to manage this patient conservatively until the conclusion of her pregnancy. This plan was revised when she presented for the second time and developed worsening pain and haematemesis. An emergency gastroscopy showed ischaemic changes in most of the stomach requiring the patient to undergo an emergency laparotomy. In pregnant patients, presenting with abdominal pain, vomiting as well as haematemesis, having had previous antireflux surgery, incarceration of the stomach must be considered as a differential. Prompt assessment and early senior decision-making is extremely important in avoiding a potentially catastrophic outcome for such patients.

Primary Adrenal Insufficiency is due to bilateral destruction of the adrenal cortex and has a prevalence of approximately 40-60 per million adults. 1 The commonest cause is autoimmune. 1 Prompt treatment not only restores quality of life but also a normal life expectancy. 2 Here we present an unusual case of primary adrenal insufficiency, which illustrates how such an important disease often provides a diagnostic conundrum.

After thorough investigations, he was diagnosed to have an infection withGiardia lambliaacute gastroenteritis (AGE) along witheosinophilic ascites with peripheral eosinophilia, withassociatedPlesiomonasshigelloidesdiarrhoea. He was then treated with metronidazole and cotrimoxazole, which resulted in complete resolution of the symptoms.

Primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are rare tumors which account for about 0.9% of all gastrointestinal tract tumors. They are usually associated with inflammatory bowel disease, previous radiotherapy, and renal transplantation. We report a case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma involving the ileocecal region in a 46-year-old gentleman who presented with acute abdominal pain that mandated emergency laparotomy.

Transverse Colectomy

A 52-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a huge exophytic gallbladder mass displacing or invading the surrounding structures. The patient underwent radical cholecystectomy, transverse colectomy, distal gastrectomy, and liver bed resection. Histologically, the tumor showed both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components, with prominent chondrosarcomatous differentiation. In addition, several malignant cells showed intracytoplasmic eosinophilic hyaline globules (Thanatosomes). The tumor showed metastatic deposits to the omentum, the liver, and the peripancreatic lymph nodes. We report this unusual case and present a review of all cases of carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder with chondrosarcomatous differentiation.

Uterine lipoleiomyosarcoma is a heterologous sarcoma composed of variable proportions of malignant lipoblasts histologically corresponding to well differentiated liposarcoma and malignant smooth muscle cells corresponding to leiomyosarcoma. Finding of benign lipomatous component in a typical leiomyoma (lipoleiomyoma) is not an uncommon, however, lipoleiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor and only very few cases have been reported so far. We report a case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterine corpus in a postmenopausal woman presenting with lower abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Diagnosis of lipoleiomyosarcoma was confirmed by histopathological examination of hysterectomy specimen. This is the first case of lipoleiomyosarcoma of uterus reported from Nepal. Keywords: Lipoleiomyosarcoma, uterus, histopathology, unusual case.   doi:10.3126/njog.v2i1.1482    N. J. Obstet. Gynaecol Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 67 - 70 May -June 2007
