The concurrence of COVID-19 with dengue present a similarity in the early stages of both diseases could cause delays in the diagnosis of dengue infection,SARS-CoV-2 or both. This adds an additional difficulty to the diagnosis and suggests that a positive result of IgM or IgG serology would not be sufficient for the definitive confirmation of dengue. Clinical case: 13-year-old female patient in poor general condition who debuts with a clinical picture of 5 days of evolution consisting of fever, anosmia, ageusia, unquantified fever peaks, chills, abdominal pain and vomiting that does not stop.

Torsion of the ovary is a rare condition whose diagnosis remains difficult given the non-specificity of the clinical picture as well as the difficulty of clinical evaluation, especially in young girls. It is a surgical emergency because it involves the vital prognosis by the hemorrhagic risk, and functional prognosis by the risk of infertility. The clinical picture is dominated by acute abdominal pain. Our work reports the case of a 2-year-old girl in whom the diagnosis of ovarian torsion was made in front of an atypical clinical picture. Laparoscopy is the method of choice for making a positive diagnosis and performing a conservative procedure as described in this work.

Disease Case

This article describes a case of Caroli’s disease in a 53-year-old female patient who complained nonspecificabdominal pain without cholestasis or cholangitis. Ultrasound and hepatic magnetic resonanceimaging showed segmental saccular dilations connected to intrahepatic bile ducts without hepaticfibrosis. This clinical case shows the possibility of having oligosymptomatic forms in the diffuse formsof Caroli disease, therefore the interest to consider this diagnosis in case of non-specific abdominalsigns and to request a hepatic ultrasound.

Introduction. Our objective is to report a case of an infrequent entity as the giant hydronephrosis.Case Report. We report the case of an 82-syear-old male referred for a poor general condition. A radiological study revealed a great left hydronephrosis secondary to an urothelial carcinoma. The patient died due to his poor general condition. A histological diagnosis revealed a transitional cell carcinoma of renal pelvis and ureter and atrophic renal parenchyma.Conclusion. Giant hydronephrosis represents a very often entity to be taken into account in cases with big cystic abdominal masses in absence of unilateral or bilateral kidney. Simple nephrectomy is the treatment of choice in most cases. Nevertheless, in cases of nonsubsidiary surgery, percutaneous drainage may be necessary.

Some research that has been carried out in patients who have already undergone COVID-19, indicate that between 20%-30% of these will suffer intense hair loss, multiplied by 4 or 5 after 2 to 4 months later of the illness. This exaggerated hair loss is known as telogenic effluvium. In telogenic effluvium, it is produced by an alteration in the hair growth cycle that generates an alarming loss for a limited period of time. As in any infection or period of stress, the root of the hair weakens and months after having overcome it, the hair falls in an abnormal and exaggerated way. The objective of presenting this case is to describe one of the most important and rare dermatological manifestations, which has been derived from SARS-CoV-2 infection. We present the case of a 41-year-old female patient, who was admitted to the emergency department after presenting a clinical picture of 8 days of evolution consisting of dry cough, tachycardia and diaphoresis, for which the antigen test for SARS-CoV-2, revealing a positive result, so it was decided to enter for medical management.

Intranodal Lymphangiography

BACKGROUND: Postoperative lymphatic complications are not common, and lymphatic leakage complication post appendectomy (LLCPC) is even rarer. However, the number of this operation is high so LLCPC can occur. CASE REPORT: Here, we report a female patient post appendectomy with severe chylous ascites. This patient underwent six operations. A leakage point at the right iliac-fossa, which was embolized successfully after two sessions, was spotted during intranodal lymphangiography. After 6 months, the ascites were significantly reduced while some lymphatic aneurysms still existed in the lumbar-retroperitoneal region. CONCLUSIONS: Basing the knowledge of this clinical case and literature, we have concluded that lymphatic leakage can be diagnosed and embolized by percutaneous intervention.

Cystic and bullous lung transformation occurs in diseases of various origins: neoplastic, genetically determined, rheumatic, lymphoproliferative, and infectious diseases. The paper presents a review of the literature and a clinical case of a young female patient with a long history of Sjögren's disease. Fifteen years after the onset of the disease, the patient developed cystic and bullous lung transformation and renal angiomyolipoma, which are regarded as a manifestation of probable lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Heterotopic pregnancy is coexistence of intrauterine and extrauterine pregnancies that is ectopic pregnancies. It is said to be rare. Here we report a case of 27 years old woman with heterotopic pregnancy. Patient had a typical presentation of severe lower abdominal pain following amenorrhoea for 2½ months. On clinical examination, there was suspicion of ectopic pregnancy but ultrasonography revealed early intrauterine pregnancy along with right tubal pregnancy with huge collection in abdomen . Immediate laparotomy was done and diagnosis was confirmed as a case of heterotopic pregnancy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmj.v39i3.9950 BMJ 2010; 39(3)

Functional adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a very rare disease with a poor prognosis. Over half (60%) of ACCs bigger than 6 cm synthesize hormones; hormone-secreting ACCs generally include virilization, feminization or Cushing syndrome. Besides, 82% of ACCs are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. While a 48-year-old female patient was examined for abdominal pain and flushing, we detected a non-metastasizing mass (23 × 18 × 16 cm) in the adrenal lodge. The mass was extracted en bloc during open exploration and its histopathology was reported as ACC. We review the literature and report the largest androgen-producing, clinically silent ACC mass cited in the literature so far.
