Retroperitoneal gastrointestinal tumor is the rarest subtype among 3 subtypes of extragastrointestinal tumors, which are uncommon stromal tumors. We herein report a case of a 55-year-old man with retroperitoneal gastrointestinal tumor detected by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by postoperative histology and immunohistochemistry.We present the case of a 29-year-old male who presented to his General Practitioner with a left testicular lump. Scrotal ultrasound examination revealed 4 well-defined, homogenous, mildly hypoechoic extratesticular mass lesions. He was referred for an urgent urological opinion and underwent local excision. Histologic analysis revealed splenic tissue resulting in the diagnosis of splenogonadal fusion.Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is a rare genetic condition characterized by oxalate deposition in the kidneys. We report findings of an 8-month old female presenting with failure to thrive, poor oral intake, and kidney stones resulting in the diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria type 1. The patient exhibits a unique presentation without renal failure at the time of diagnosis suggesting a previously unreported comorbidity in early stages of disease.Bowel perforation is an emergency condition. Common causes of bowel perforation include infection, infarction, radiation enteritis, Crohn's disease, and cancer. Ingested foreign body causing bowel perforation is rare. Wooden toothpick-related injuries are uncommon. We report a case of ileal perforation caused by ingested wooden toothpick preoperatively diagnosed by ultrasound and computed tomography.Metastatic prostate carcinoma mainly occurs in bone as an osteoblastic lesion or lesions in the pelvis, spine, or chest wall. We present a unique case of a singular metastatic osteolytic lesion in the rib initially misdiagnosed as a fracture in a 61-year-old male. A single rib fracture in a patient with no history of trauma should raise suspicion for metastatic disease. We would encourage prostate cancer to be included in the differential diagnosis for an osteolytic lesion in a male over the age of 40. We review the current literature on this rare presentation of bone metastasis as well as the pathogenesis of metastatic prostate carcinoma as it relates to a solitary metastatic osteolytic lesion.Diaphragmatic hernias are commonly encountered in radiological practice, especially in pediatric patients. Oxaliplatin price Delayed presentation of diaphragmatic hernias can occur in children and less frequently in adult patients. We present an extremely rare case of a 15-year-old male patient with recurrent attacks of cholestatic hepatitis who has been misdiagnosed to have primary sclerosing cholangitis and was planned for liver transplantation. On imaging, the patient was found to have neglected right diaphragmatic hernia causing hypogenesis of the right hemithorax and right lower lung lobe. A transthoracic herniation of gallbladder and malrotated left liver lobe is also diagnosed on imaging. Biliary dilatation with transition point at the diaphragmatic hernia neck was identified. Major hepatic anomaly such as liver malformation is an exceedingly rare case with only 3 reported cases in the literature. In our case, the patient suffered from recurrent cholestatic hepatitis and unfortunate misdiagnosis with primary sclerosing cholangitis, which have delayed his appropriate management. In addition, the patient was found to have interrupted IVC with azygos and hemiazygos continuation without evidence of heterotaxy syndrome.We present a very rare case of right aortic arch with an isolated left brachiocephalic artery in a 35-year-old female. This entity is an extremely uncommon aortic arch anomaly which has associated multisystem symptoms. We briefly discuss the hypothetical double aortic arch model originally described by Edwards. The aortic embryology can explain the anatomic findings and imaging manifestations of the isolated left brachiocephalic artery. Multimodality imaging evaluation can be helpful in detection and categorization of aortic arch abnormalities. A diagnostic imaging approach should focus on elucidating the abnormal aortic arch and great vessels arrangement with determination of associated cardiac, vascular or visceral congenital abnormalities.We report a case of bacterial meningitis in a 72-year-old female with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis who underwent incomplete retrograde obliteration for duodenal varices with encephalopathy. Two months after incomplete retrograde obliteration, she became febrile, drowsy, and was transported to hospital. Her serum ammonia level was normal. Endoscopy revealed that previously embolized coil was partially migrated into the duodenal lumen. Cerebrospinal fluid examination confirmed the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. She was treated with intravenous antibiotics. As there was a risk of bleeding, trans-ileocolic vein obliteration of duodenal varices was attempted. The patient slowly recovered and was discharged. This case indicated two problems could occur by coil migration after incomplete retrograde obliteration for duodenal varices with encephalopathy. One was bacterial meningitis and the other was risk of bleeding from duodenal varices. We conclude that cerebrospinal fluid examination is recommended for patients with high fever and abnormal mental status after incomplete retrograde obliteration, and immediate complete obliteration should be attempted for a risk of bleeding.We firstly experienced a rare case demonstrating that massive volume of free air was aspirated from a large bore intravenous catheter sheath of the pulmonary arterial catheter during placement. A 44-year-old male patient underwent the emergency induction of anesthesia for transplantation of liver donated by the brain death subject. After the induction, the central venous and pulmonary artery catheter placement was conducted. The aspiration of venous blood confirmed the intravascular insertion, but massive free air was aspirated when we advanced the sheath proximally. A perforation of subclavian vein and subsequent pneumothorax was strongly suspected. The emergency computed tomography revealed no sign of pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum nor extravasation. The operation was undergone with intensive monitoring and no further adverse complication was observed. The postoperative medical inquiry concluded that the massive free air was not aspirated from extravascular space, for example, thorax or mediastinum through the tip of the sheath, but from the proximal main port of the sheath.
