Pancreatic Metastases

AbstractMetastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the pancreas is a rare entity accounting only 0.25–3% of all pancreatic tumors. We present a rare case of isolated three focal pancreatic metastases from RCC, occurring 15 years after the left nephrectomy. The majority of the pancreatic metastases are asymptomatic, as it was in case of our patient excluding the weight loss for the last three months. We demonstrate the importance of the medical history, radiological examinations, histological and immunohistochemical analysis in making a definitive diagnosis.

Severe Ohss

Ovulation induction has been an important mode of treatment of infertility.Ovarian stimulation may result in a supraphysiologic response leading to an iatrogenic complication known as the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS) . This syndrome is a potentially lethal condition,the pathophysiologic hallmark of which is the accumulation of massive extravascular exudate combined with profound intravascular volume depletion and hemoconcentration.we report a case of severe OHSS with very large ovaries in a 38yr old case of G2A1 with 4weeks 5days GA ,ICSI conception with TCTA triplets presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain,ascites and respiratory distress . The patient was managed symptomatically with no complications. Although ovarian hyperstimulation is a rare entity ,it is important that the physician recognizes this condition.prompt diagnosis and successful management is likely to avoid serious and rapid development of complications.

Placing of sewing needles in the brain through the anterior fontanel is a rare entity. There are very few cases reported in literature. Most of them were asymptomatic, but some of them presented with seizure. We report here a 14-year-old boy, who was admitted to the Pediatric Neurology Department with a history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures due to sewing needle located in the frontal lobe.

Lead Endocarditis

Background: Cardiac device-related endocarditis has emerged as a serious complication in the era of advanced medical technology. Pacemaker related infections are rare and life-threatening with incidence from 0.06% to 7% and high mortality rate (30-35%). Diagnosis is hard, frequently delayed and could be even missed due to poor clinical findings. The average delay in diagnosis is 5.5 month. We report a case of the late-onset of pacemaker lead endocarditis caused by S. epidermidis successfully treated with open heart surgery. Case Report: Patient with persistent high fever for 11 month and suspicion for infective endocarditis was admitted in Cardiovascular Institute. No clinical signs of endocarditis were observed. TTE revealed large vegetation 30 × 17 mm attached to the atrial electrodes with high embolic potential. This finding was verified by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), although CT scan did not reveal vegetation. Blood cultures were negative. A sternotomy with cardiopulmonary bypass was performed and electrodes were extracted with large vegetation. Intraoperative finding revealed large thrombus with vegetation around pacemaker leads. Cultures of the electrodes and vegetation revealed Staphylococcus epidermidis. Surgery was followed up with antibiotic treatment for 6 weeks. He has been followed up for the next 2 years, and without complications. Conclusion: The absence of criteria for endocarditis and negative blood cultures should not keep the physician from ruling out lead endocarditis. This complication carries high risk of mortality if left untreated.

Splenic epidermoid cyst is a rare entity and represents about 10% of the non-parasitic benign cysts of thespleen. We report a rare case of epidermoid cyst in a 45-year-old female who presented with pain and leftupper abdominal mass. So far, such case has not been reported from Nepal.Key Words: Epidermoid cyst, spleen, late onset, mesothelial cyst.
