Scrotal abscess as a manifestation of posterior duodenal perforation; a very rare presentation.

ABSTRACT: Posterior perforation of duodenal ulcers is very rare; the infection may spread from the retroperitoneal space to the scrotum. A 75-year-old male presented with painful right scrotal swelling for 2 days associated with fever. During abdominal examination there was abdominal tenderness and scrotal swelling and tenderness. CT scan of the abdomen showed large amount of air collection in the retroperitoneal space extending to the right scrotum with contrast media passing to the retroperitoneum and right scrotum. Laparotomy done and there was a perforation in the posterior wall of the duodenum, suturing done and right scrotal abscess drained.

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.

Concomitant fungal peritonitis and high ascitic amylase as a rare manifestation of gastric perforation.

Project description:High ascitic amylase concentration has been reported to be a characteristic of pancreatic ascites. However, values greater than 2000 U/l can also be seen in intestinal perforation. Fungal peritonitis is a serious entity that could also be caused by hollow viscous perforation. Herein we report a 22-year-old woman with epigastric pain, imitating an acute pancreatitis, and abdominal distention. Laboratory and radiological investigations revealed a high ascitic Amylase level with secondary fungal peritonitis due to gastric ulcer perforation. This case highlights the importance of careful clinical evaluation and a multi-disciplines approach in patients with high ascitic Amylase levels especially in limited-resources areas in order not to miss a diagnosis in which a surgical approach can be lifesaving. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of concomitant very high ascetic Amylase level and fungal peritonitis as a manifestation of gastric perforation.

Acute onset anarthria without hepatic manifestation: a rare presentation of Wilson disease.

Project description:Wilson disease (WD) is one of the few inherited but treatable disorder mainly affecting the liver and brain resulting in severe disability or death if left untreated. Hence, it is important to keep a high index of suspicion for diagnosing this clinical entity in appropriate clinical settings. The clinical presentation can be quite variable and they may present solely with neurological features sans hepatic symptoms. Such neurological manifestations usually follow subacute to chronic course. Acute onset anarthria as the heralding and predominant presenting feature has been rarely reported in the literature. We reported a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with acute onset anarthria and dystonia of 1-month duration. On further evaluation, a diagnosis of WD was made. The patient showed partial improvement after she was started on copper chelating agents and anticholinergics.

Schwannoma of the penis, presenting as a scrotal mass, rare entity with an uncommon presentation.

Project description:Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors that are seen either sporadically or in patients of neurofibromatosis. This tumor is common in head, neck, and extremities. Penis is a rare site for this tumor. To the very best of our knowledge, <34 cases of penile schwannoma have been reported in literature till now, but none had presented as scrotal mass. Here, we report a case of penile schwannoma in a 16-year-old male boy who presented in our outpatient department with a slowly growing scrotal mass. Our patient did not have any other feature of neurofibromatosis. The patient after investigation underwent surgical excision and had no recurrence on follow-up of 5 years.

Subcutaneous sarcoidosis with thoracic involvement: A very rare presentation of the disease.

Project description:Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a very rare manifestation of sarcoidosis and its association with parenchymal lung involvement is rarer. We report the twentieth case in the literature published on PubMed. It is the case of a 61-year-old caucasian, non-smoker lady, who presented to a dermatology department with a 7-month history of asthenia, anorexia, weight loss, fever, exertion dyspnea, dry cough, arthralgia of the large joints and non-tender multiple subcutaneous tumefactions. Biopsy of the nodules established the diagnosis of subcutaneous sarcoidosis. Bronchioloalveolar lavage revealed alveolitis with lymphocyte predominance and the CD4/CD8 ratio was 8.5. Chest computed tomography scan revealed peribronchovascular thickening, micronodules of lymphatic distribution and mediastinal lymphadenopathies which were bilateral, asymmetric, and non-compressive. We therefore concluded the involvement of the lung and the mediastinal lymph nodes. The angiotensin-converting enzyme level was high. The patient was successfully treated with prednisone at the dose of 1mg/kg/day.

Scrotal sac leiomyoma: Case report of a rare benign scrotal mass.

Project description:Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumors, the overwhelming majority of which are located in the uterus. Rare cases arise in other organs, including the scrotum, pelvis, bladder, and spermatic cord. This report evaluates the case of a 37-year-old man with a history of prior left inguinal hernia repair, who presented with a painless right scrotal mass. He first noticed the mass approximately 1 year prior to his initial visit. Subsequent ultrasound of the scrotum demonstrated a 5-cm circumscribed, hypoechoic, mildly vascular extratesticular mass located within the right hemiscrotum. Based on the initial imaging, the differential diagnosis included lipoma, adenomatoid tumor, papillary cystadenoma, leiomyoma, fibrous pseudotumor, sarcoid granuloma, sarcoma (including liposarcoma, rhabdosarcoma, or leiomyosarcoma), lymphoma, and an extranumerary testis. The mass had circumscribed margins, suggesting an encapsulated lesion, and was completely separate from the testicle on ultrasound. Despite this, testicular malignancy was not entirely excluded as a diagnosis, although it was considered far less likely. The patient was definitively treated with surgical excision of the mass. Pathology of the surgical specimen confirmed diagnosis of leiomyoma, a rare scrotal mass.

Radical surgical resection of giant Angiosarcoma of the posterior Mediastinum: A rare neoplasm with rare presentation as epigastric pain.

Project description:Angiosarcoma of the Posterior Mediastinum is a rare entity. We herein report a case of a giant posterior mediastinal Angiosarcoma. A 54-year female presented with a one-year history of epigastric pain. Her upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy revealed no abnormality. Chest x-Ray showed a shadow in the hilar area. A computed tomographic scan of the Thorax (CT) and MRI Scan showed a mass in the Posterior Mediastinum. CT-guided biopsy revealed the tumor of vascular origin. The tumor was completely resected. Post-operative recovery was uneventful. After 14 months follow up patient is disease-free, and a CT scan of the chest showed no recurrence.

Splenic torsion in a child with polysplenia and situs inversus: a very rare presentation.

Project description:Polysplenia with situs inversus along with the torsion of spleen is a rare event. We report a case of a 12 year old child who presented with acute abdominal pain. There was an ill-defined mass in right hypochondrium and lumbar regions. The CT scan of abdomen revealed presence of multiple spleens with infarction of the largest spleen and features of complete dextroversion. Intraoperatively the infarcted spleen was found twisted around its vascular pedicle and removed.

Duodenal perforation nine months after accidental foreign body ingestion, a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Foreign body ingestion is a scenario occasionally encountered in the emergency room. Pediatric and psychiatric patients are the two most common populations suffering from accidental or in some cases intentional ingestion of foreign bodies. Commonly, majority of cases require no specific treatment and the swallowed objects pass through the digestive tract spontaneously without causing any significant complications. Less than 1% of the cases complicates with gastrointestinal tract perforation, which are often caused by sharp objects, which warrants surgical intervention. The average time from foreign body ingestion to development of perforation was noted at 10.4?days in previous reports. These cases often present in rapidly progressing peritonitis and are subsequently managed by emergent laparotomy. In this case report, we describe an accidental chopstick ingestion of a patient who initially was misdiagnosed and remained asymptomatic for nine months, then presented with acute abdomen. CASE PRESENTATION:A 27-year-old man accidentally ingested a wooden chopstick and sought consult at a clinic. Negative abdominal plain film misled the physician to believe ingested chopstick was digested into fragments and passed out unnoticed. The patient presented acute abdomen caused by duodenal perforation nine months later and was subsequently treated with emergency laparotomy with primary duodenorrhaphy. CONCLUSIONS:Negative plain films are not sufficient to conclude a conservative treatment in foreign body ingestion. Computed tomography scan or endoscopic examinations should be done to rule out retained foreign body within gastrointestinal tract.
