Xanthoma arising in bone is a very rare occurrence with only a few case reports in literature. Xanthoma arising in the spine is extremely rare with only four cases previously reported. We report a case of xanthoma of the thoracic spine in a 75-year-old male with hyperlipidemia. The imaging appearances and a review of literature will also be provided.

Choledochal cysts (CDC) are cystic dilatations of the biliary system, which are usually found in children and uncommon in adults, and type VI choledochal cyst which is isolated cystic dilatation of the cystic duct is a very rare occurrence and only single case reports are documented in the literature. We have reported a case of a young girl who was diagnosed as having Type VI CDC on pre-operative MRCP and found to have the same intraoperatively. She was treated with a simple cholecystectomy with cyst excision.

Colon Duplication

Gastro – intestinal duplications are usually detected in children before 2 years of age due symptoms/complications associated with the condition or during surgery in the child for some unrelated condition. In adults colonic duplication is of rare occurrence and often diagnosed during surgery. However, it may be diagnosed pre operatively due to symptoms of obstruction, volvulus or rarely due to perforation. We present an adult having tubular duplication of ascending colon, that presented with perforation. The duplication had a blind end and did not have distal communication. In addition, it had its own blood supply. The management of the case is discussed. Aetiogenesis of the anomaly is enumerated and literature reviewed. For ascending colon duplication similar meaning word accessory ascending colon has also been used in the manuscript.

Objective To describe a possible case of capecitabine-induced myopericarditis in a patient at the Cardio-Oncology Clinic in Calgary, AB. Design A literature search and adverse drug reaction assessment with the Naranjo tool was conducted. Results A 39-year-old male with recurrent locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma presented two days after adjuvant treatment with capecitabine and oxaliplatin complaining of intermittent, severe interscapular pain. Based on symptoms, laboratory investigations, and imaging, the patient was diagnosed with acute myopericarditis. Management included aspirin, colchicine, and discontinuing adjuvant chemotherapy. A literature review revealed one case report of capecitabine-induced myopericarditis; however, more data were found regarding the cardiotoxicity of fluorouracil, for which capecitabine is a pro-drug. No case reports were found for oxaliplatin. Conclusion Due to the timeline of capecitabine administration, symptom onset, and improvement upon medication discontinuation, capecitabine is the probable cause of the myopericarditis. Although rare, it is important to consider the possibility of myopericarditis in patients receiving a fluoropyrimidine who present with cardiovascular symptoms.

Phyllodes Tumors

Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare tumor of the breast accounting for approximately 1% of all breast neoplasms. In 1838, J. Muller coined the term “cystosarcoma phyllodes” based on the leaf-like projections of the tumor extending into the cystic spaces and sarcomatous stromal growth. However, seeing as up to 70% of phyllodes tumors are benign, “cystosarcoma” was removed, and the tumor is now recognized simply as phyllodes tumor. It is mainly seen in females between the ages of 35 and 55. Although most phyllodes tumors are benign, malignant cases do uncommonly occur, 22% of which have distant metastasis typically to the lungs and bones. Rarely, this tumor metastasizes to other locations. Herein, we report a case of malignant phyllodes tumor with metastasis to the pancreas. According to our knowledge, only 3 case reports of pancreatic metastasis from malignant phyllodes tumor have been reported in literature thus far. We aim to increase awareness among physicians of this rare metastasic potential of the uncommonly encountered malignant phyllodes tumor.

Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, is an established therapy against multiple myeloma. Bortezomib-induced lung injury, although not appreciated during the introductory time of the medication, has now been highlighted in multiple case reports. The objective of this study is to report a case of bortezomib-induced lung injury, review current literature, and perform exploratory analysis.
