Cyriax syndrome is a rare entity of the chest wall, which mainly affects young people. It can manifest as abdominal pain in the right or left hypochondriac region, which may be very intense, and often causes problems in the differential diagnosis. We report the case of a 36-year-old man who presented with intense left hypochondrial pain, worsening on exercise. After multiple specialized consultations and several unnecessary and expensive investigations, a diagnosis of Cyriax syndrome was obtained. A thorough physical examination might have been sufficient to evoke the diagnosis.

Abstract Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders derived from multipotent hematopoietic myeloid progenitors. Classic "BCR-ABL1-negative" MPNs is an operational sub-category of MPNs that includes polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). These three disorders are characterized by stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation. The most common mutation in the MPNs PV, ET and PMF is JAK2 V617F. JAK2 V617F can be detected in about 95% of patients with PV while remaining 5% of PV patients carry a somatic mutation of JAK2 exon 12. Approximately one third of patients with ET or PMF do not carryany mutation in JAK2 or MPL. In December 2013 mutations were described in calreticulin (CALR) gene in 67-71% and 56-88% of JAK2 V617F and MPL negative patients with ET and PMF, respectively. Since this discovery, CALR mutations have not only been recommended to be included in the diagnostic algorithm for MPNs, but also CALR exon 9 mutations have been recognised to have clinical utility as mutated patients have a better outcome than JAK2 V617F positive patients.CALR mutations have also been reported to be mutually exclusive with JAK2 V617F or MPL mutations. According to our knowledge so farthere have been only six reports published,which described patients harbouring concurrent JAK2 V617F and CALR exon 9 mutations; seven ET, three PMF, one PV and one MPN-U. In the present study we are reporting ET patient with coexisting JAK2 V617F and CALR exon 9 mutations from our center. In July 2011, 55-years-old female patient was referred to our hospital with a history of gradual elevation of platelet counts accompanied with pain in right hypochondriac region and feet. Bone Marrow aspirate consisted of 'Stag-horn' appearance Megakarocytes. Multiple platelets aggregates and islands were seen throughout the aspirate smear. ARMS-PCR for JAK2 V617F mutation was positive whereas bidirectional Sanger sequencing for CALR exon 9 exhibited c.1214_1225del12 (p.E405_D408del) mutation pattern. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 12-year-old boy of non-consanguineous parents presented with the history of fever and left sided upper abdominal pain for 1 month. His fever was high grade, intermittent, associated with chills and rigor. The abdominal pain was dull aching in nature without any radiation, aggravating or relieving factors. His bowel habit was normal. The child had no history of jaundice, cough, respiratory distress, burning sensation during micturition, earache, skin infection, contact with tubercular patient, blood transfusion or parenteral medica-tion. On examination, she was fretful, febrile, mode-rately pale, and anicteric. Tachycardia was present. Per abdominal examination revealed tenderness at the left hypochondriac region.

AbstractIn unusual cases of malrotation or incomplete rotation of caecum , the appendix is not located in the lower right quadrant. When the caecum is high [subhepatic caecum] the appendix is located in the right hypochondriac region and the pain in these cases is located there, not in the lower right quadrant. In this position , the symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis may mimic acute cholecystitis, diagnosis in such cases is a great diagnostic challenge. The author observed this less frequent anomaly in a middle aged male cadaver. After opening the abdomen while tracing peritoneal reflections abnormality was identified. The caecum and appendix were present in relation with inferior surface of liver. Embryologically, the caecal swelling appears as a small conical dilation of the caudal limb of primitive intestinal loop and it is the last part of the gut to reenter the abdominal cavity. It is temporarily located in the right upper quadrant directly below the right lobe of liver. From here it descends into the right iliac fossa. The failure to descend leads to subhepatic caecum.

A 78-year-old man presented to the hospital with acute right upper quadrant pain, fever and nausea. A focused abdominal ultrasound and abdominal CT scan were performed demonstrating an acute calculous cholecystitis with gallbladder perforation. Although a CT-guided cholecystostomy was performed and a pericholecystic abscess was relieved promptly, the patient developed a cholecystocutaneous fistula in the right hypochondriac region. A cholecystocutaneous fistula is an extremely rare complication that may occur in patients with acute calculous or acalculous cholecystitis, chronic gallstone disease, gallbladder carcinoma or prior hepatobiliary surgery.
