Unusual Case of Bilateral Tubercular Mastitis.

ABSTRACT: Bilateral involvement of the breast with tuberculosis is extremely rare. It most commonly affects young lactating multiparous females, although rarely it may be reported in prepubescent males also. We present a case of a 27-year-old nulliparous female who presented with a history of multiple pus discharging sinuses around both areolae and was diagnosed as a case of bilateral tubercular mastitis. Tubercular mastitis being a paucibacillary disease, diagnosis is often difficult. Treatment consists of antitubercular therapy with or without surgery..

Unusual presentation of bilateral pyosalpinx mimicking an ovarian torsion: A case report.

Project description:Introduction:A pyosalpinx is the acute inflammation of the Fallopian tube fills up and swells with pus, which commonly results from inadequate or delayed treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease. Herein we report a case of bilateral pyosalpinx mimicking an ovarian torsion. Presentation of case:We reported the case of a 27-year-old female patient, who presented to the emergency department with complaints of constant, worsening lower abdominal pain for 2-3 days. Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound examinations were performed which demonstrated a large, complex cystic structure in the right adnexa with peripheral flow on color Doppler imaging. The possibilities included ovarian torsion or hemorrhagic cyst. Intraoperative findings showed bilateral pyosalpinx and treated successfully by laparoscopic bilateral salpingostomy. Conclusion:The present case highlights the diagnostic dilemma of bilateral pyosalpinx must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of ovarian torsion or tumor, particularly in women of reproductive age.

Bilateral squamosal synostosis: unusual presentation of chromosome 1p12-1p13.3 deletion. Illustrative case.

Project description:BackgroundSquamosal sutures are minor sutures of the human skull. Early isolated fusion of the sutures (squamosal synostosis) is rarely found.ObservationsThe authors report a case of a girl who presented with an abnormal head shape and bilateral squamosal synostosis. Genetic testing revealed a chromosome 1p12-1p13.3 deletion. She has been managed with conservative treatment of the synostosis. She has global developmental delay and multiple anomalies due to the chromosome abnormality.LessonsIsolated squamosal suture synostosis could be an uncommon feature of chromosome 1p12-1p13.3 deletion.

Bilateral anophthalmia and intrahepatic biliary atresia, two unusual components of Fraser syndrome: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundFraser syndrome or "cryptophthalmos syndrome" is a rare autosomal recessive disease. It is characterized by a group of congenital malformations such as: crytophthalmos, syndactyly, abnormal genitalia, and malformations of the nose, ears, and larynx. Although cryptophthalmos is considered as a main feature of Fraser syndrome, its absence does not exclude the diagnosis. Clinical diagnosis can be made by Thomas Criteria. Here we present the first documented case of Fraser Syndrome in Aleppo, Syria that is characterized by bilateral anophthalmia and intrahepatic biliary atresia.Case presentationDuring pregnancy, several ultrasound scans revealed hyperechoic lungs, ascites, and unremarkable right kidney at the 19th-week visit; bilateral syndactyly on both hands and feet at the 32nd-week visit. On the 39th week of gestation, the stillborn was delivered by cesarean section due to cephalopelvic disproportion. Gross examination showed bilateral anophthalmia, bilateral syndactyly on hands and feet, low set ears, and ambiguous genitalia. Microscopic examination of the lung, spleen, liver, ovary, and kidneys revealed abnormalities in these organs.ConclusionThe diagnosis of Fraser syndrome can be made prenatally and postnatally; prenatally by ultrasound at 18 weeks of gestation and postnatally by clinical examination using Thomas criteria. Moreover, intrahepatic biliary atresia was not described previously with Fraser syndrome; this recommends a more detailed pathologic study for Fraser syndrome cases.

Unusual bilateral ovarian metastases from ileal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST): a case report.

Project description:Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and liver and peritoneum are the main sites of recurrence. Ovarian metastases from GIST are very rare.A 50 years-old woman was found to have a pelvic mass on transvaginal ultrasound (TV-US) and computed tomography (CT)-scan, considered as a right ovarian mass. The patient underwent surgical abdominal exploration that showed an ileal mass, a normal right ovary and an irregular and vascularized surface of the left ovary. A segmental ileal resection and an ileal anastomosis were performed. Frozen section showed a GIST and surgery was completed with hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic peritonectomy, peritoneal washing and Burch procedure. The histological examination confirmed an ileal GIST with ovarian metastases, harboring in both sites of disease a KIT exon 11 deletion.Ovarian localizations, as far as rare, can be a clinical finding in case of ileal GIST patients, and both gynecologists, pathologists and medical oncologists should be able to recognize them.

Unusual Presentation of Bilateral Radiation-Induced Angiosarcoma of the Breast.

Project description:Radiation-induced sarcoma of the breast is an iatrogenic malignancy that occurs secondary to radiotherapy, which is most commonly given following breast conservation surgery. It has an incidence of 3.2 per 1,000 patients at 15 years and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a 62-year-old female with a history of bilateral breast conservation surgery and radiotherapy 5 years ago presenting with bilateral angiosarcoma. This case report highlights the importance of considering radiation-induced angiosarcoma of the breast as a differential diagnosis in a patient with recurrent breast neoplasms. The challenges in the management with recent evidence on new treatment modalities are discussed.

Unusual case of anorexia.

Project description:We report the case of a 15-year-old female patient suffering from progressive anorexia, weight loss and recurrent abdominal pain, initially diagnosed as anorexia nervosa. She eventually presented with severe malnutrition and acute bowel obstruction, revealing a mass of the transverse colon. A well-differentiated Lieberkühn adenocarcinoma was established by histology. The patient underwent transverse and right colectomy and was treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is predominantly a disease of older adults and is extremely rare in children and adolescents. Seldom suspected, it is more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage, with unfavourable tumour histology and poor outcome. Young patients diagnosed with CRC should receive genetic counselling regardless of their family history or tumour type. This reports' take-home message is that recurrent and persistent digestive symptoms in the young should alert physicians and lead to further investigations.

An unusual cause of orthopnoea-hashimoto's thyroiditis presenting as bilateral diaphragmatic palsy.

Project description:We report a case of 36 yr old male without any comorbidities, who presented with a history of gradually progressive dyspnoea and orthopnoea for 6 months. Physical examination revealed bradycardia, paradoxical respiration suggestive of bilateral diaphragmatic palsy. Fluoroscopy demonstrated the presence of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Etiological work up showed evidence of autoimmune hypothyroidism due to hashimoto's thyroiditis. Other possibilities were ruled out with appropriate tests. He was started on thyroxine and showed symptomatic improvement.
