Gastric Lipoma

Gastroduodenal intussusception caused by a gastric lipoma is an uncommon condition, and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. A case of a 72-year-old man who complained of weight loss and intermittent episodes of nausea and vomiting is presented. Diagnostic workup demonstrated a mass in the second portion of the duodenum. The patient underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy followed by an exploratory laparotomy that confirmed the gastroduodenal intussusception by a gastric lipoma. In addition, the anatomical and clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of this entity are discussed.

Gastric Lipoma

Abstract Gastric lipomas are rare, representing 2–3% of all benign tumours of the stomach. Most of these stomach neoplasms are small and detected incidentally during endoscopic or radiology evaluations. Computed tomography is highly specific imaging for lipoma diagnosis. Endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound are other important diagnostic modalities to confirm the diagnosis. Identifying typical features can avoid biopsy or surgery in asymptomatic patients. In patients with larger lesions, usually more than 2 cm, clinical presentation may encompass haemorrhage, abdominal pain, pyloric obstruction and dyspepsia. As a result of its extreme low incidence, treatment is not standardized, though it is widely accepted that a symptomatic tumour mandates resection. Here, we present the case of a 60-year-old female presenting with abdominal pain and recurrent vomiting due to a giant gastric lipoma (80 × 35 × 35 mm). The patient underwent laparotomy and an enucleation was performed.

Abstract Background Platypnoea–orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is an uncommon condition characterized by dyspnoea and arterial desaturation in the standing or sitting position that improves in the supine position. Case summary We report two cases of POS caused by an atrial septal defect (ASD) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Both cases reported a recent decrease in body weight of more than 10 kg in a short time period. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) with agitated saline bubble study revealed and a large amount of contrast bubble through the ASD (Patient 1) or the PFO (Patient 2) from the right atrium to the left atrium in the sitting position. Both patients were diagnosed by the finding of positional dyspnoea and the results of TOE using agitated saline bubble contrast. Discussion Taken together, their presentations suggest that weight loss in a short time period could be a pathogenic factor for POS.

Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The histology of this disease was first reported by Boeck in 1899. Since that time many reports of multiple organ involvement have been published. Symptoms relating to the upper respiratory tract are not uncommon. Nasal obstruction as the presenting and primary complaint in sarcoidosis however is a rare but important symptom as it may lead to the diagnosis of this treatable disease. We present three patients whose initial complaint of progressive nasal obstruction heralded the diagnosis of sarcoidosis upon further workup. The clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, histology, and management of nasal sarcoidosis are discussed.

Cystic Masses

Benign intra-abdominal cystic masses in children are rare and they have diverse etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation. The present study highlights the experience in the management of benign intra-abdominal cysts pertaining to the diverse etiologies associated with these lesions. The medical records of our hospital between November 2016 to November 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with cystic abdominal masses were studied with respect to less different clinical presentations, localization of masses, diagnostic tests, surgical aapproaches, histopathological examinations and outcome. Out of the 55 cases, most common lesion was a choledochal cyst. Miscellaneous diagnosis includes an omental cyst, urachal cyst and a pedunculated bile duct cyst. All the cystic lesions of the abdomen need to be considered as close differentials in clinical practice due to the common presentations and similar symptoms produced by these lesions. All the lesions were managed by exploratory laparotomy except two ovarian cysts which were managed with laparoscopic approach.

Intestinal lymphoma is the second most common form of lymphoma in dogs. It is characterized by the presence of neoplastic lymphocytes in the gastrointestinal tract or mesenteric lymph nodes. The chief clinical signs are vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia and weight loss. The diagnosis is made through fine needle aspiration and cytology, or by tissue biopsy and histopathology, and chemotherapy is the treatment of choice. We report a case of intestinal lymphoma in a five years old Boxer, presented with history of hematochezia and lethargy of 7 days duration, and 20 days of anorexia and persistent weight loss. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed free fluid in the abdominal cavity, and an intestinal mass. Exploratory laparotomy was performed and a tissue biopsy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of intestinal lymphoma, but the patient died during the surgical procedure.

In Pregnancy

Tuberculosis (TB), a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, is particularly relevant in low/middle-income countries like India, where the disease is endemic. The female reproductive system is very vulnerable to this infection with, the clinical presentation being utterly silent in most patients. Symptoms of TB in pregnancy may initially be attributed to the gravidity itself besides temporary concealment of associated weight loss by the normally occurring weight gain during the pregnancy. Untreated TB may cause pregnancy loss by either placental damage or direct harm to both the mother and child. We report a case of latent disseminated TB in a young immunocompetent female that was revealed in the postpartum state (after full-term stillbirth delivery at home) as 20 ileal perforations secondary to intestinal TB. Due to ongoing sepsis and delayed presentation to the hospital, the patient could not be salvaged despite the best possible efforts.
