Acute Small Bowel Obstruction

The so-called superior-mesenteric-artery syndrome is not mentioned in psychiatric journals or books. Yet two variations of the condition have been described. In its acute form, it can be mistaken for psychogenic vomiting in anorexic patients, while its chronic intermittent form is readily misdiagnosed as anorexia nervosa. The case report is of a 16-year-old boy admitted for investigation and treatment of severe weight loss. He initially responded to a modified behaviour program, but within days developed an acute small-bowel obstruction. Superior-mesenteric-artery syndrome was diagnosed and he improved with appropriate medical management. This condition needs to be considered by the psychiatrist who otherwise might not differentiate it from the symptoms of anorexia nervosa.

Unusual Case Report

Abstract We describe an extremely rare occurrence of a squamous differentiation in a sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in a 45-year-old woman with nodal and lung metastasis at presentation. The tumor on histology showed all 3 components intimately admixed with each other, which to the best of our knowledge is the first such case to be reported in the literature. The renal pelvis was smooth walled and uninvolved. Kidney-specific cadherin was positive in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma areas and negative in the sarcomatoid and squamous areas.
