Hepatitis Case

Background: Given its favourable pharmacokinetic parameters, propofol is commonly used for sedative procedures. The agent is extensively metabolized in the liver and there are sporadic reports of propofol induced acute hepatitis. Case: A 73-year-old Chinese lady underwent a routine endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography with propofol sedation who developed deranged liver function tests 4 hours post procedure peaking on day 1. She improved with conservative management only and no other causes for the clinical picture was found. A review of the literature revealed several case reports where propofol have been implicated as a triggering factor. Conclusion: Although propofol produces rapid recovery without major adverse effects in the vast majority of cases, it is worth bearing in mind the possibility of idiosyncratic reactions that are detrimental to the liver.

Atypical Presentations

Sporadic, acute hepatitis E is increasingly common in the United Kingdom, associated with travel or locally acquired. A 45-year-old woman with well-controlled HIV presented with a widespread, polymorphic rash and transaminitis. Acute genotype 3 hepatitis E infection was confirmed and resolved without intervention. A review of the literature reveals a number of atypical presentations of acute autochthonous hepatitis E. Clinicians should consider testing for hepatitis E in the presence of nonspecific symptoms and deranged liver function tests.

Carcinosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, melanoma and carcinoid as primary tumors in the ovary are extremely rare. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature from 2010 to 2021, based on specific criteria, to analyze the treatment of these rare ovarian neoplasms. We also aimed to verify whether modern therapies have been found in recent years. For this article, 80 papers were finally selected. The vast majority of the articles were clinical case reports. Despite single mentions of new potential pharmacological treatments, surgery (radical or fertility-sparing) is definitely the mainstay of treatment. There are currently no treatment guidelines for these tumors. A review of the literature has revealed the use of various adjuvant treatments. We, therefore, believe that a more detailed understanding of the biology of these tumors is necessary in order to find new target points for treatment. We would like to emphasize the importance of creating an international database of rare ovarian tumors which would make it possible to gather data from various oncological centers and enable further research into these neoplasms.
