Primary cancer of the urethra is rare. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and urethral stricture is one of its risk factors. Authors report herein the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a history of recurrent urethral stricture for which he opted for a suprapubic catheter. He developed a perineal phlegmon that revealed a primary urethral carcinoma. This case shows unusual symptoms that should lead to suspect urethral carcinoma in a patient with urethral stricture. This will allow to avoid late diagnosis caused by misleading symptoms.

Splenosis refers to the seeding of splenic cells associated with surgery or trauma. Splenosis mimicking other diseases has been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of follicular lymphoma in a patient with splenosis whose diagnosis of lymphoma was delayed because of a known history of splenosis. We report a 48-year-old male patient who underwent splenectomy because of injury from a high fall 20 years previously. He had no symptoms other than mild abdominal pain until 2 years previously, which was thought to be associated with splenosis. When his symptoms began to increase, he had explorative laparotomy for diagnosis, which was later confirmed as follicular lymphoma. Splenosis may delay the diagnosis of other conditions that can be underestimated. Clinicians should be aware of unusual symptoms in patients with splenosis.

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Oral ulceration is a common condition that can affect the oral mucosa, and patients often present in both primary and secondary care. There are a number of causes of oral ulceration, ranging from trauma to malignancy. The cause of the oral ulceration can be difficult to establish, especially when the history and investigations do not support an obvious cause. We report a case of a 19-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of worsening oral ulceration. Despite further questioning and investigations, the cause of the oral ulceration remained elusive. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To understand the clinical presentation and causes of oral ulceration.

AbstractMesentric fibromatosis is a proliferative fibroblastic neoplasm of the small intestinal mesentery with varied clinical presentation. Giant mesentric fibromatosis is uncommon and its rarity poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This paper presents a recurrent aggressive fibromatosis in a 38 year old male patient, who had initially undergone a laparotomy outside for mass abdomen but only pus was evacuated and definitive diagnosis was not made.

The objective of this study was to determine the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcome of patients diagnosed with possible ectopic molar gestation registered with the Trophoblastic Disease Screening and Treatment Centre, Weston Park Hospital, Sheffield between 1986 and 2000. From the 5581 women registered, those with a diagnosis of ectopic molar pregnancy were identified from a computer database. Information regarding the relevant history of each patient and the clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) was determined by reviewing referral forms, case notes, and pro formas completed by the referring gynecologist. Histological review of the cases was undertaken where possible. Suspected ectopic molar gestations comprised 31/5581 (0.55%) of registrations. Known risk factors for ectopic pregnancy were identified in 79% of cases. Central histological review confirmed only six cases of GTD: three choriocarcinoma and three early complete moles. Four patients subsequently required chemotherapy. All patients are now in complete remission. We conclude that ectopic GTD is uncommon, with a UK incidence of approximately 1.5 per 1,000,000 births. Initial management is usually surgical removal of the conceptus, pathological suspicion of the diagnosis and registration with a screening center. Chemotherapy may be required and the prognosis is excellent.

Background: Keratoderma is a group of conditions characterized by hyperkeratosis affecting the skin on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands bilaterally. The classification of keratodermas depends on whether it is inherited or acquired and on its clinical features, including diffuse or focal involvement of the skin and the morphology of lesions present. Case Report: We describe the rare case of a 54-year-old female who presented with a nearly 40-year history of punctate keratoderma on her right palm and sole. History taking revealed that her biologic son also has unilateral left-sided keratoderma. The clinical presentation of unilateral keratoderma has been reported only four times in the literature.

Unusual Symptoms

A 45-year old woman presented with a twelve-month history of intense migraines. She described episodes of blurred vision in association with the headaches, during which she invariably found that one or other of her pupils became dilated with a degree of eyelid retraction on the affected side. These unusual symptoms resolved spontaneously with improvement of the headache.After exclusion of a lesional cause with brain and neck imaging, we concluded that her symptoms were secondary to autonomic dysfunction in relation to her headache.Horner's syndrome is due to paralysis of the ipsilateral cervical sympathetic chain and comprises ptosis, miosis, enopthalmos and anhidrosis. A Reverse Horner's syndrome, otherwise known as Pourfour du Petit, in theory, is the opposite, and comprises eyelid retraction, mydriasis and hyperhidrosis. Where documented, it is attributed to irritation, rather than complete deficiency of the ipsilateral sympathetic chain. Previous case reports have shown that Pourfour du Petit can occur due to the same mechanisms as a Horner's syndrome. In only one other case report has it been described as an autonomic feature in relation to headache.

Background: Stroke in a migraine with aura has been documented in several cases, even deserving the merit of a classification as complicated migraine. Herein, we present a rare case of migrainous infarct without aura. The diagnosis was challenging due to lack of risk factors. The patient was unique in not having any other comorbidities. Case Presentation: The case is of a 21-year-old female presenting with right-sided hemiplegia and facial drooping. She had had an index presentation of throbbing headaches for the past 2 years, typical of a migraine but not preceded by any aura symptoms. However, in the current episode, the pain became excessively severe and accompanied by right-sided hemiplegia and facial drooping. A full investigation workup using MRI revealed evidence of infarct in the left temporoparietal and basal ganglion region. Conclusion: Our case highlights the need to evaluate silent ischemic stroke in case of prolonged headache with a history of migraine as well as the need for precaution to avoid the use of triptans or opioids in such a case. It also highlights the conditions that need to be excluded before labeling it as a migrainous infarct.

Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycaemia

Hypoglycaemia in the post-operative period is mainly iatrogenic (related to anti-hyperglycaemic drugs), but can be explained by an endogenous hyperinsulinemic state. In the context of previous gastrointestinal surgery, a form of dumping syndrome can mask hypoglycaemia from an underlying cause, such as an insulinoma. The authors present a clinical case of a male patient who underwent oesophageal surgery for an oesophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma and developed hypoglycaemic symptoms in the post-operative period, caused by an undiagnosed insulinoma. This case report portraits the diagnostic investigation of a hypoglycaemia state in the post-operative period, narrowing to the workup of an endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia and provides a summary of insulinoma’s treatment. An insulinoma should always be considered in a patient with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia, even with a history of oesophago-gastric surgery.
