Neovagina stricture complicated by high-grade dysplasia in a patient with history of cloaca and ulcerative colitis: a case report and review of the literature

Inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis (UC) may be complicated by several extraintestinal manifestations. These involve joints, skin, eyes and less commonly lungs and heart. Myocarditis may result from the toxic effect of drugs (ie, mesalazine) commonly used for the treatment of UC or due to infections (eg, Coxsackieviruses, enteroviruses, adenovirus). Here, we report a case of a 26-year old man affected by UC and complicated by two episodes of myocarditis. Both episodes occurred during two severe exacerbations of UC. However, in both cases the aetiology of myocarditis remains uncertain being ascribable to extraintestinal manifestation, drug toxicity or both.

Abstract We report a case of gallbladder paraganglioma that was discovered during nonrelated surgery. Retrospective study disclosed a family history of pheochromocytoma. The occurrence of gallbladder paraganglioma in the presence of family history of endocrine neoplasia supports that gallbladder paraganglioma may indeed occur as a part of the multiple endocrine neoplasm syndrome. Gallbladder paraganglioma is a rare tumor, and so far to our knowledge only 6 cases have been reported in the literature. Three cases were discovered incidentally during cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis, 2 presented with right upper quadrant pain, and 1 manifested with gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein review all reported cases of paraganglioma of gallbladder and biliary system.

Inflammatory Bowel

A 47-year-old man with a history of ulcerative colitis on prednisone and azathioprine was admitted to the hospital with a four-day history of fever, skin rash, arthralgias and leukocytosis. A skin biopsy demonstrated neutrophilic infiltration of the dermis that was consistent with Sweet’s syndrome. He improved after several days with an increase in his prednisone and azathioprine. Sweet’s syndrome is a rare cutaneous manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease, with approximately 40 cases reported in the literature. In a previously reported case of a patient with ulcerative colitis-associated Sweet’s syndrome who was on azathioprine at the time of the skin eruption, the azathioprine was stopped, raising the possibility of drug-induced Sweet’s syndrome. In the present case, the azathioprine was actually increased with complete resolution of the skin manifestations. This would support the theory that immunosuppressive therapy is the mainstay of therapy for this condition. In conclusion, Sweet’s syndrome is a neutrophilic dermatosis that is rarely associated with ulcerative colitis. It may occur while on immunosuppressive therapy and responds to an intensification of immunosuppression.

Esophageal Foreign Bodies

The incidence of esophageal impacted denture is proportionately increasing as there is increasing number of people wearing denture in current days. Impacted denture has to be removed as soon as possible because the delay can lead to complications. The successful removal of impacted denture in the esophagus in a patient is reported, with a review of the literature. A 52-year-old Malay lady complained of dysphagia with no history of foreign body ingestion. Following unsuccessful attempts of removal via a rigid esophagoscope, open surgery was performed. Without further delay, the impacted denture was removed by cervical esophagotomy, and the patient recovered uneventfully. Esophageal foreign bodies are usually removed by endoscopy. However, in situations where this appears potentially hazardous, such as with impacted denture, open surgical extraction that is promptly performed is a safer option.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 362-365
