Port site tuberculosis a rare post operation entity: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures done worldwide. Post-surgical site infections are common, yet there are occurrences of uncommon complications, including port site tuberculosis (TB). We report a case of a 62-year-old man who was the victim of post-surgical site infection of port sites caused probably by improper sterilization. The patient lacked any common symptoms of tuberculosis and his initial lab investigations were not affirmative. A biopsy depicting the growth of multiple epithelioid granulomas finally led to the diagnosis of port site tuberculosis. The patient was treated by incision and drainage followed by anti-tubercular therapy. This treatment regime showed complete resolution of disease on follow-ups. Such cases require multidisciplinary team (Surgery, Pathology and Infectious disease department in our case) inputs for prompt diagnosis and treatment.

A rare case of multiple port site incisional hernias repaired by laparoscopy-assisted intraperitoneal onlay mesh: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionPort site herniation is a frequent complication of abdominal surgery, yet treatment strategies for multiple port site hernias are often difficult and case reports are rare.Presentation of caseA 72-year-old woman, with a history of multiple abdominal surgeries, underwent laparoscopic surgery for rectal prolapse four years prior. Three 12 mm ports were inserted into the umbilical region, right upper quadrant and right lower abdomen, subsequently, incisional hernias developed at all three sites. In addition, an incisional hernia developed in the lower abdomen, for a total of four incisional hernias. She was taking apixaban for atrial fibrillation, and since the standard surgical method of placing the mesh in the extraperitoneal space was judged to be high risk for postoperative bleeding and hematoma formation, we performed a laparoscopy-assisted intraperitoneal onlay mesh repair (IPOM).DiscussionThe key points of the surgery performed are: Laparoscopic surgery was initiated with a small incision in the umbilical region, using two 5 mm ports because we reasoned that using a 12 mm port could cause a new hernia. In the lateral hernia repair, a mesh was placed in the preperitoneal space on the dorsal side of the hernia, the mesh was sutured to the peritoneum because tucking cannot be performed if nerves are present on the dorsal aspect. The medial hernia was repaired by IPOM via a small laparotomy incision.ConclusionFor multiple incisional hernias, it is necessary to consider appropriate repair methods for each site.

Laparoscopic umbilical trocar port site endometriosis: A case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Abdominal wall endometriosis can occur secondary to gynecological and obstetric pelvic laparotomy; however, this is a rare clinical event. There are few cases of endometriosis involving the incision site of a laparoscopic surgery, especially for those of the endometrial nodule at the umbilical trocar port site where the camera is placed. CASE SUMMARY:We describe the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with a 2-year history of a tough swelling below the umbilicus, which presented periodical pain during menstruation. The patient had undergone laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy 4 years prior, and we theorized that the umbilical nodule was a complication of that laparoscopic surgery. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of abdominal umbilical scar endometriosis secondary to previous laparoscopic surgery. Surgical removal of the nodule followed by three cycles of leuprorelin was curative. CONCLUSION:Abdominal mass and pain in women of childbearing age with a previous history of pelvic surgery should support consideration of endometriosis at the surgical site.

Mandibular involvement of plasmacytoma - Uncommon case report of rare entity.

Project description:Solitary plasmacytoma (SP) is an early-stage plasma cell malignancy that is in between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM) along the spectrum of plasma cell disorders. SPs can be divided into 2 groups according to location: solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP) - these occur most commonly in the vertebrae and secondarily in long bones, and extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) - these encompass all nonosseus SPs. The etiology is still unknown, and they generally display a destructive course with preponderance of males. Both lesions present a risk of progression to multiple myelom. Its presence in jaws is extremely rare and when it is seen, angulus and ramus mandible are most common sites of occurrence. Histopathological examination and systemic investigation are mandatory for confirmation but support of immunohistochemistry positivity for CD138 was also done for establishing the final diagnosis.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

A case report on atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor: A rare entity.

Project description:IntroductionAtypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor (ASPLT), a separate entity for the group of benign/low grade adipocytic neoplasm that is characterized by adipocyte adequacy and the presence of lipoblast-like cells and spindle cells at varying degrees.Case presentationHere, we report a rare case of 60 years old male with atypical spindle cell lipomatous tumor in the anterior abdominal wall.DiscussionHistopathology is the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis and grade of soft tissue tumor and consistent radiology-pathology correlation is essential to avoid any diagnostic pitfalls [1]. Ultrasound is preferred as an initial investigation for superficially located lesions.ConclusionASPLT show a wide variety of microscopic features, and differential diagnosis is important and difficult. Recognition of morphologic clues and immunohistochemistry/molecular tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Joubert syndrome a rare entity and role of radiology: A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceJoubert syndrome (JS) is defined by the characteristic set of cerebellum and midbrain abnormalities that communally result in the indicative "molar tooth sign" on the axial MRI report. The incidence of estimated to be from 1:80,000 to 1:100,000.Case presentationClinical features can be noticed shortly after birth that includes hypotonia episodic tachypnea and apnea that may be followed by developmental delays and speech apraxia. Polydactyly, cleft lip or palate, tongue abnormalities, hypotonia, encephalocele, meningocele, hydrocephalus, kidney problems, pituitary abnormality, and autistic-like behavior are the other deformities that can be seen with JS. Seizures may also occur. Motor disability and mental health range from mild to severe forms.Clinical discussionTreatment for JS is symptomatic and supportive. The prognosis depends on cerebellar vermis development.ConclusionJS can be missed if special attention were not given to radiological findings.

Case Report: Rare site for intraoral meningioma.

Project description:Extracranial meningioma is very rare with few cases reported, especially in the oral cavity. Its diagnosis considered a challenge owing to the unusual site of occurrence. We report, to our knowledge, the first case of extra-cranial meningioma as a primary tumor in the palate with no detected intracranial extension. A 59-year-old female Egyptian patient presented with a 22-year history of a large painless swelling at the right side of the palate, which could not be seen on radiographs. An incisional biopsy was taken and, after assessment with a panel of immunohistochemical markers, the lesion was diagnosed as extracranical meningioma. The patient did not show up for surgical excision and follow-up was not performed because of loose of contact with the patient. Intraoral meningioma is a rare unsuspected tumor. Immuohistochemical markers are important when confirming this diagnosis.

Torsion of gall bladder, a rare entity: a case report and review article.

Project description:IntroductionGallbladder torsion is a rare entity, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Since its first description in 1898 by Wendel, there have been over 500 documented cases in the literature. It is defined as rotation of the gallbladder on its mesentery along the axis of the cystic duct and cystic artery. Gallbladder torsion is more frequently encountered in the elderly with peak incidence in the 65-75 year old group, and a 3:1 female predominance. Gallbladder torsion typically presents as an acute abdomen requiring emergency surgery, and most cases are found as a surprise at surgery since preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder torsion is difficult. We report a case of acute gallbladder torsion in an elderly male and review the clinical aspect of gallbladder torsion.Case reportA 54-year old male presented to our department with a 5-day history of sudden onset colicky abdominal pain associated with vomiting, progressive abdominal distension and fever. Laparotomy through a chevron incision was performed and findings at operation included a gallbladder, which was necrotic and gangrenous, not attached to the liver by any mesentery. It was hanging by the attachments of cystic duct and cystic artery only, with a 360-degree clockwise torsion.ConclusionGallbladder torsion is rare surgical emergency which requires a high index of suspicion for early preoperative diagnosis and prompt intervention. Treatment consists of cholecystectomy with a prior detorsion to avoid injury to the common duct.

Endotracheal hamartoma case report: Two contrasting clinical presentations of a rare entity.

Project description:The majority of tracheal tumors in adults are malignant. The finding of a benign tumor in the trachea is uncommon and endotracheal hamartomas are rare.We report two cases presenting within six months at our institution. The first patient is a 67 year-old man who was found to have an asymptomatic endotracheal hamartoma on chest imaging for aortic valve replacement. The second patient is a 46 year-old man with an extensive continued tobacco use disorder and a known endotracheal lesion identified 8 years prior to intervention. Both patients were treated surgically and recovered without complications.Identification of these lesions and timely management are necessary because without intervention, they can lead to fatal complications. Most symptoms of tracheal hamartoma result from mechanical obstruction with the earliest presenting symptom being dyspnea, but as evident in these two cases, they can have different presentations.We have found that endotracheal hamartoma has a tendency to present in Caucasian, male patients with a comorbidity of respiratory disease and variable smoking history, but it can also present in asymptomatic patients with no significant smoking history.

Cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma of lower eyelid: Case report of a rare malignant entity.

Project description:Introductioncutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare epithelial tumor with slow development, it is most often described in the scalp; palpebral involvement is very rare. And is accompanied by local aggressiveness and frequent recurrence. The aim of this work is to discuss the management and the interest of a close surveillance of adenoid cystic carcinoma.Case presentationThe authors report a case of palpebral cystic adenoid carcinoma in a 65-year-old patient who underwent surgical excision followed by reconstruction of the loss of substance.DiscussionCutaneous cystic adenoid carcinoma of the eyelids remains a very rare entity that must be evoked in front of a nodular cutaneous palpebral tumor that progresses slowly. An early diagnosis and a complete excision guarantee a better prognosis.ConclusionAdenoid cystic carcinoma, because of its local aggressiveness and its capacity to recur despite satisfactory surgical removal, requires long-term surveillance. Its surgery may be responsible for functional and aesthetic sequelae.
