Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as a novel treatment in a wide variety of malignancies; however, it is associated with a distinctive array of side effects known as immune-related adverse events. Hyperprogression is defined as an accelerated growth of disease burden in patients treated with immunotherapy. Limited literature is available regarding hyperprogression in hepatocellular cancer. We report a case of a 36-year-old male with no past medical history who presented with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with unresectable hepatocellular cancer and thereby started on atezolizumab and bevacizumab. The patient got only 1 cycle of treatment and unfortunately had hyperprogression of disease.

Segmental omental infarction (SOI) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Depending on the site of infarction, it mimics conditions like appendicitis, cholecystitis, and diverticulitis. Before the widespread use of Computed Tomography (CT), the diagnosis was usually made intraoperatively. SOI produces characteristic radiological appearances on CT scan; hence, correct diagnosis using this form of imaging may prevent unnecessary surgery. We present the case of a young woman who was treated conservatively after accurate radiological diagnosis.
