Vascular anomalies are an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in childhood. These malformations may present with diverse symptoms, while gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common. Regarding diagnosis, these lesions may be detected by endoscopy, but only the mucosal component of them is assessable by this modality. Definitive diagnosis is best achieved by selective mesenteric angiography. We report a rare case of a 1.5-year-old child who presented with the complaint of hematochezia, which, after examination and evaluation, was found to be due to an intestinal arteriovenous malformation. Therapy of these malformations includes different modalities such as coagulation, embolization and surgical resections. Reviewing the literature, this is the first report in pediatric surgery literature of the laparoscopic approach for symptomatic high flow arteriovenous malformation, especially at this incredibly young age.

Eosinophilic cholangiopathy is termed as a rare, benign, and self-limiting disease. Moreover, the interference of malignant tumor to diagnosis and the changing process of disease make the accurate treatment proposal challenging. A significant number of patients require surgery for the definitive diagnosis and resolution of symptoms. We put forward a case of eosinophilic cholangiopathy infiltrating the gallbladder and bile duct with bone marrow involved, coupled with peripheral eosinophilia. The patient underwent a successful treatment using laparoscopic cholecystectomy and steroids, instead of extrahepatic bile duct excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The patient gets an accurate treatment in a minimally invasive manner. In conclusion, surgery refers to not only a diagnostic methodology but also a treatment. When the bile duct and gallbladder are involved at the same time, and cannot distinguish benign and malignant diseases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible, the effect is the same, and the symptoms of eosinophilic cholecystitis are relieved.

First Case

AbstractCongenital arteriovenous malformations are rare causes of congestive cardiac failure in neonates. The most common sites are in the head and liver, but other sites include the thorax, the abdomen and the limbs. The onset of failure is usually not in the immediate neonatal period, but later on in life, albeit that lesions such as the arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen, and other arteriovenous malformations in different locations which produce high flow can present early. We describe here the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of prenatal detection of an intrathoracic arteriovenous malformation producing neonatal cardiac failure, which was successfully treated by surgery postnatally.

Gastric volvulus (GV) and wandering spleen (WS) associated with eventration of diaphragm share a common pathological cause of absence or laxity of intraperitoneal ligaments. We herein report a rare case of a 13-year-old child presenting with an acute GV, WS, diaphragmatic eventration and an ectopic ascended kidney managed with a laparoscopic approach.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. Here, we report a case of 64 year old male patient with PG on midline of the dorsum of the posterior third of the tongue. Its differential diagnosis, the importance of biopsy findings in establishing definitive diagnosis and about the new approaches for its treatment is discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ajms.v6i3.10619Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.6(3) 2015 84-86

Abstract Internal mammary artery aneurysms are rare, but serious, clinical entities. We describe a rare case in which an internal mammary artery aneurysm in a patient with Takayasu arteritis was successfully treated with coil embolization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an internal mammary artery aneurysm associated with Takayasu arteritis.
