Abstract Background: Plexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is a very rare mesenchymal tumor of the stomach. Here we report one case of this unusual gastric tumor that was pathologically confirmed after endoscopic resection. Its clinical and pathologic features were observed while the relevant literature was reviewed. Case presentation: A 1.0 cm round elevated submucosal mass was discovered by gastroscopy in a 44-year-old Chinese woman due to recurrent abdominal pain. The tumor was characterized by a multinodular plexiform pattern, bland-looking oval to spindle cells, and a myxoid stroma with thin arborizing capillaries. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that the tumor cells were positive for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and negative for CD117, DOG-1, CD34, Desmin, progesterone receptor (PR), CD10, S100 and SOX10. A diagnosis of PF was rendered.Conclusion: Gastric PF is a benign tumor without evidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis. This case emphasizes the unique histological appearance and immunophenotype of PF to promote early diagnosis, while endoscopic resection can be used as an alternative treatment for small and superficial PF.

Introduction: Appendicitis could be a rare complication of Salmonella Typhi infection.  Case Presentation: we present a 13-year-old girl with typhoid fever with histology-proven acute appendicitis as a rare complication of Salmonella Typhi infection. The patient was admitted to the hospital with the chief complaints of fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting for more than one week. A brief review of relevant literature was also performed to explore more this rare cause of a common emergency surgical procedure.  Conclusions: In all cases with typhoid fever with persistent diarrhea and vomiting, localized abdominal pain, probable acute appendicitis should be considered as an important complication.

Abstract Background: Testicular hemangioma is a extremely rare and typically occurs in childhood or adolescence. It is a benign tumor that appears as a slowly growing painless mass.Case presentation: We herein present the case of a 3 year-old male patient with testicular hemangioma accompanying hydrocele, who underwent surgical resection.Conclusions: This article discusses the diagnosis and currently available treatment options of testicular hemangioma. It also can be provide clinical experiences for urologist in face of similar situation.

Point Of Reference

Introduction: Drug fever is a febrile reaction caused by initiation of one drug or varieties of drugs and often disappears after cessation of the drug(s). Clinically, drug fever is frequently induced by antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and antineoplastics. There are few previous reports about drug fever caused by imipenem/cilastatin. Case Presentation: Here, we described a 66-year-old man undergoing the Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma, who developed drug fever. The patient had a high temperature with shivering after administration of imipenem/cilastatin for 7 days. Furthermore, his temperature came down after discontinuing imipenem/cilastatin and receiving steroids. Body temperature increased rapidly 4 hours after intravenous readministration of imipenem/cilastatin and rapidly decreased to normal after discontinuing imipenem/cilastatin and administering steroids. Conclusion: Thorough history, blood tests, physical examination, and computed tomography (CT) did not reveal any evidence of fever. Drug fever caused by imipenem/cilastatin was considered. We also present a review of relevant literature and provide a point of reference for the clinical diagnosis and therapy of patients with drug fever.

Rare Case Report

Background: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma is one the rare tumor of nose and paranasal sinus with only few cases reported so far. Epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, modes of presentation and the management of this condition still remain elds to be explored. Case Presentation: A 55 years old lady presented with right sided nasal obstruction with nasal discharge for 2 years. Nasal endoscopy showed multiple pinkish, polypoidal mass almost lling whole of right nasal cavity. Imaging study showed soft tissue density with hyperdense area in right ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. Biopsy of the lesion revealed Lymphoepithelial carcinoma. Patient was managed by endoscopic debulking followed by radiotherapy. There was no evidence of tumor on follow up evaluation, six months after radiotherapy. Conclusion: Lymphoepithelial carcinoma can affect nose and paranasal sinuses. Although, a consensus on management of the disease is yet to be achieved, the best management so far is surgery followed by an adjuvant radiotherapy. Key words: paranasal sinus neoplasm, sphenoid sinus, ethmoid sinus

Abstract Background Ovarian abscesses, which occur mostly in sexually active women via recurrent salpingitis, occur rarely in virginal adolescent girls. Here, we present a case of an ovarian abscess in a virginal adolescent girl who was diagnosed and treated by laparoscopy. Case presentation A 13-year-old healthy girl presented with fever lasting for a month without abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging indicated a right ovarian abscess. Laparoscopic surgery revealed a right ovarian abscess with intact uterus and fallopian tubes. The abscess was caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The patient recovered completely after excision of the abscess, followed by antibiotic treatment. Conclusions Ovarian abscess may occur in virginal adolescent girls; Staphylococcus aureus, an uncommon species causing ovarian abscess, may cause the infection.
