Spontaneous rupture of seminoma in undescended testis with hemoperitoneum: a rare presentation.

ABSTRACT: Cryptorchidism is associated with increased risk of malignancy and infertility. We present a case of a 30-year-old man who presented to the Emergency Department of our tertiary care hospital with spontaneous intra-abdominal rupture of the seminoma in undescended testis with hemoperitoneum. This is a rare presentation of seminoma and emphasises the importance of scrotal examination in young men presenting with acute abdomen. Surgical management is the definitive treatment and should be instituted as soon as possible, after appropriate resuscitation.

Hemoperitoneum Secondary to Spontaneous Rupture of a Retroperitoneal Varix.

Project description:Hemoperitoneum due to a ruptured retroperitoneal varix is an exceedingly rare condition and a poor prognostic sign with catastrophic and life-threatening complication of portal hypertension. We present a unique case of a 56-year-old female with cirrhosis secondary to primary sclerosing cholangitis who presented with acute abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock prior to a cardiac arrest following a ruptured retroperitoneal varix without prior esophageal varices and a newly identified intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The clinical presentation with abdominal pain and hemorrhagic shock is consistently reported in the relevant literature. Early recognition affords appropriate management and urgent surgical intervention leading to survival.

A rare presentation of spontaneous splenic rupture from plasma cell leukaemia-a case report.

Project description:Spontaneous/atraumatic splenic rupture is rare, and often associated with underlying infectious disease, or haematological malignancy. Plasma cell leukaemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of multiple myeloma, with a higher prevalence of hepatosplenomegaly with a bleeding diathesis from secondary to thrombocytopaenia. We report the case of an 82-year-old male presenting to the emergency department with altered mentation and complaints of left abdominal pain. He presented with haemorrhagic shock. Imaging revealed a spontaneous splenic rupture. He underwent emergency laparotomy and splenectomy for which the histopathology yielded a diagnosis of PCL as the cause for rupture. He received four courses of bortezomib and hyperCVAD 1A therapy. After a long 64-day admission, he recovered well and was discharged home with outpatient haematology/oncology follow-up.

A rare case of carcinosarcoma of the fallopian tube presenting with torsion, rupture and hemoperitoneum.

Project description:► Fallopian tube carcinosarcomas may present emergently with hemoperitoneum. ► Fallopian tube carcinosarcomas may be detected better with MR than with CT. ► Heterologous fallopian tube carcinosarcomas have been reported more often than the homologous type.

UNDESCENDED TESTIS: A STUDY OF 50 CASES.

Project description:Fifty consecutive cases of undescended testis treated at a service hospital over a period of 3 years from January 1993 to December 1995 were studied. Only 2 patients (4%) were below the age of 2 years and 25 (50%) were past the age of 15 years. Two cases presented with seminoma in intraobdominal testis. Ultrasonography was found unreliable in localizing the impalpable testis. Subdartos pouch orchiopexy (Winsburry-White) was the definitive procedure adopted in 21 out of the 25 orchiopexies performed and the results were good. Orchidectomy seems the best option of treatment in post-pubertal patients with unilateral symptomatic maldescent.

Spontaneous duodenocutaneous fistula: a rare presentation of perforated duodenal ulcer.

Project description:ObjectivesFistula formation between the duodenum and the skin of the anterior abdominal wall is a rare complication and reported most often following surgery. To the best of our knowledge, the development of a spontaneous duodenocutaneous fistula in association with duodenal ulcer has only been reported once.Case presentationA 52-year-old female patient presented at the emergency department with a painful ulcer and erythema on the right abdominal wall. On admission, she was in extremely poor general and nutritional condition. Laboratory analysis revealed inflammation. An empiric antibiotic therapy was initiated; parenteral nutrition, fluid, and electrolyte resuscitation were started. An enterocutaneous fistula was postulated and confirmed by endoscopy identifying a perforated duodenal ulcer. Surgery was not a valuable option and a Foley catheter was inserted through the fistula. During further endoscopic interventions, the Foley catheter was first replaced by a jejunal tube and later by a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with a jejunal limb for enteral nutrition. The fistula output decreased, the local infection was controlled and the nutritional status improved.ConclusionsThree months later the fistula was closed and the gastrostomy tube was removed. After 2 years the patient was in good general and nutritional condition.

Circumcision-incision orchidopexy: A novel technique for palpable, low inguinal undescended testis.

Project description:Given that both orchidopexy and circumcision are commonly done in a single operative setting, we adopted a technique of combined orchidopexy and circumcision using a single circumcision incision. We applied this new technique to boys with palpable, low inguinal cryptorchidism. Here we describe a case series of 7 boys who underwent concurrent orchidopexy via the circumcision site. We present this novel technique and discuss our preliminary outcomes, including the anatomic basis and feasibility. The technique appears to be an alternative for concurrent circumcision and cryptorchid cases with palpable, low inguinal testes.

Cardiogenic Shock and Mitral Valve Chord Rupture: A Rare Presentation of Libman-Sacks Endocarditis.

Project description:Distinguishing Libman-Sacks endocarditis from other valvular heart disease etiologies has important implications for management. We present a case of a 23-year-old man who presented in extremis with fever and cardiogenic shock caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis with associated mitral valve chord rupture. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Spontaneous rupture of thymoma.

Project description:We report a case of patient who presented to the hospital due to shoulder pain and was later diagnosed with ruptured thymoma. Shortly after being admitted to the hospital for the work up patient developed respiratory distress and underwent emergent endotracheal intubation. CT scan of the chest showed anterior mediastinal mass with associated right sided hemothorax. He subsequently underwent medial sternotomy with resection of the mass which turned out to be thymoma.
