Abstract Para duodenal hernias, the most common type of retroperitoneal hernias, are thought to occur naturally from abnormal gut rotation because of fusion folds within the peritoneum. Retroperitoneal hernias are a rare postoperative complication and have not been described after renal transplantation via a retroperitoneal approach. This case report presents a 48-year-old male with intestinal obstruction after renal transplant due to herniation into the retroperitoneum via an incidentally created peritoneal defect. We suggest computed tomography with oral contrast be used in the early postoperative phase to assess for obstruction in patients with prolonged ileus of unclear etiology who have undergone retroperitoneal dissection. Small peritoneal defects should be closed during dissection. Larger, or multiple peritoneal defects should be extended to make a single, large defect to decrease the possibility of bowel herniating and becoming incarcerated.

Muscle Metastasis

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, with a large majority of prevalence (85%) in developing countries. As of 2012, it accounts for 7.5% of all female cancer deaths. Despite its high prevalence, skeletal muscle metastasis from cervical cancer is extremely uncommon. In our extensive literature search, we were able to find only 8 cases where skeletal muscle metastasis was the only site of recurrence. We report a case of a 52-year-old African-American woman with a past medical history of cervical cancer (stage IIIB) who presented with pain and swelling in her left upper arm over the preceding 2 months. MRI of the left upper arm showed a solid well-circumscribed mass measuring 7.0 × 2.8 × 2.5 cm, deep to the biceps. Biopsy of the mass revealed a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma that was p16-positive. PET scan showed that the lesion was the sole site of metastasis. She received local radiation with concurrent chemotherapy. Follow-up MRI 6 months after the completion of therapy showed resolution of the mass. She has remained disease-free for the last 24 months as evidenced by a PET/CT scan in May 2016. In this case report, we discuss the role of imaging and pathology in the diagnosis of a solitary metastatic lesion. This case also emphasizes the importance of a close follow-up which aids in early intervention, increasing overall survival.

Cardiovascular Morbidity And Mortality

In North America, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women; accounting for approximately 1 in every 4 deaths1,2. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease and two of the key risk factors for CHD are hypertension and diabetes. After smoking cessation programs, the detection and management of hypertension, and of diabetes, may be the next most important interventions that physicians can offer to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
