Double Trouble: A Unique Case of Hypercalcemia Caused by Two Underlying Etiologies

<p>Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare entity. Sometimes it may associate with mild diffuse or segmental coronary ectasia. CAF with giant coronary artery is exceptionally rare. We present a unique case of a 49-year-old female patient with a giant right coronary artery of diffuse ectasia coexisting with a fistula draining into the right ventricle. To our best knowledge, CAF with diffuse coronary ectasia of such giant size has never been reported. The patient was treated successfully by resection of the dilated right coronary artery, fistula closure, and coronary artery bypass grafting.</p>

Mucinous Neoplasms

We hereby present the case of a 58-year-old male who underwent a total gastrectomy for gastric neoplasm. During the surgery, a tumor mass in the jejunum was identified, considered as metastasis, and resected. The histopathological examination of the jejunal lesion showed ectopic pancreas. In this area, two pathological distinct lesions were identified, one histologically compatible with pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) type 2 lesion and the other with morphologic criteria for endocrine microadenoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case that evidences the presence of a concomitant premalignant exocrine lesion and benign endocrine lesion in a heterotopic pancreas (HP).Abbreviations: HP: heterotopic pancreas; IPMN: Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms; PanIN: Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia; PEN: pancreatic endocrine neoplasm.

Bilateral Absence

The absence of hallucal sesamoids is an uncommon and incidental entity, bilateral absence is rare, and few cases of symptomatic patients have been reported in literature. Most patients present with metatarsalgia limited to plantar aspect of the great toe, with aggravation of pain on walking and relief at rest. We present a unique case of ipsilateral symptomatic hypoplastic medial hallucal sesamoid and asymptomatic absence of medial sesamoid at the contralateral foot.
