Adenomatoid tumor is an uncommon benign mesothelial neoplasm, usually localized in the epididymis. It is the most common paratesticular tumor of middle-aged patients (average age of clinical presentation: 36 years). However, these tumors in pediatric and pubertal patients are extremely rare. Due to their rarity, we present a case of adenomatoid tumor of the tail of the epididymis in a 16-year-old patient. After systematic research of the current literature, we did not find another case report of epididymal adenomatoid tumor in a male patient aged 16 years old or less. This notice and our concern, as well, about the patient’s surveillance protocol during the postoperative period were the motive for this case study.

This is a case report of a neonate who was antenatally diagnosed with jejunal atresia which turned out to be duodenal atresia with apple peel syndrome. A previous sibling, who also had apple peel but with jejunal atresia, succumbed to sepsis after surgery. The first sibling had jejunal stenosis and had died of sepsis following surgery. Combination of duodenal atresia with apple peel is extremely rare. This coupled with a familial condition is rarer still. This case was challenging due to the short length of the gut and prolonged need for total parenteral nutrition and sepsis in postoperative period.

Sinonasal alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare malignant disease that comprises 0.4% to 1.2% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is usually difficult to diagnose because it has many clinical and pathological mimickers. In this case study, ASPS occurred in the olfactory cleft, representing the second case in this location in the literature. This article presents the clinical presentation, radiologic, and histopathological case, and reviews the literature regarding the differentials.

AbstractMesentric fibromatosis is a proliferative fibroblastic neoplasm of the small intestinal mesentery with varied clinical presentation. Giant mesentric fibromatosis is uncommon and its rarity poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. This paper presents a recurrent aggressive fibromatosis in a 38 year old male patient, who had initially undergone a laparotomy outside for mass abdomen but only pus was evacuated and definitive diagnosis was not made.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a rare condition with a peculiar presentation that aids in making a clinical diagnosis. We present a 22-year-old male patient who presented with critical hand ischemia secondary to a distal ulnar aneurysm with distal embolization. The patient was treated with an aneurysmectomy with cephalic vein interposition graft, which resulted in complete reversal of his hand ischemia. This case report outlines the clinical presentation of this rare condition, along with a recent review of the literature.

Infective endocarditis is nowadays one of the main indications for valvular surgery. When occurring in the right chambers of the heart, the tricuspid valve is the most commonly affected. Although this disease is usually present in injecting-drug abusers or patients with other predisposing risk factors, the incidence of native pulmonary valve infective endocarditis is the least frequent. This case report presents a 51-year-old patient with no relevant medical history that was admitted to our institution with sepsis. Further studies revealed a native pulmonary valve infective endocarditis complicated with infra-annular abscess and pulmonary septic embolisms. The following describes the clinical presentation of the case, echocardiograms, the surgical procedure, and the postoperative period. To date, few cases of native pulmonary valve infective endocarditis with no previous risk factors have been reported.

Mammary Tuberculosis is rare, with an incidence of 4% of all breast diseases in TB endemic countries. The clinical presentation can be non-specific and may mimic malignancy of the breast. Tis is a case report of a middle-aged male patient presenting with an ulcerated lump of the breast, diagnosed as mammary tuberculosis. Breast tuberculosis is extremely rare in males. The clinical presentation is varied and a high index of clinical suspicion is extremely essential for diagnosis with confirmation by cytology and histology. Anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) is the mainstay of treatment, with surgery being required in few indicated cases

Introduction: Charcot’s triad was traditionally used to diagnose ascending cholangitis. However it is already proven that only minority of patients with ascending cholangitis who fulfill the triad of fever, jaundice and right hypochondriac pain. Aim: We would like to highlight the rarity of severe hyperbilirubinaemia secondary to benign cause as most of the incidence raised more suspicion for primary liver disease or malignancy. Case study: We presented a case report of a 58-year-old male patient with no comorbid who presented to us with right hypochondriac pain and obstructive jaundice with severe hyperbilirubinaemia (total bilirubin 1025 µmol/L), without fever or leukocytosis. Results and discussion: We presented a case report of a 58-year-old male patient with no comorbid who presented to us with right hypochondriac pain and obstructive jaundice with severe hyperbilirubinaemia (total bilirubin 1025 µmol/L), without fever or leukocytosis. Conclusions: Benign conditions such as common bile duct stones still can lead to severe hyperbilirubinaemia even though it is very rare. The usage of appropriate imaging is needed to exclude malignant causes.

Jaundice is a yellow pigmentation of the skin, the conjunctival membrane over the sclera and other mucous membrane caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increase level of bilirubin in blood). Today’s lifestyle with unhygienic and poor dietary habit and alcoholic habits, etc. which are responsible factor to promote hepatic damage which clinically reflect as kamala In this case study 25 years male patient having kamala who was suffering from pain in abdomen, weakness, anorexia, burning maturation and fever on and off, the patient was treated with shodhan chikitsa (Virechan with panchatikta ghrita) followed by shaman chikitsa. Patient got significant result as per the values of bilirubin with symptomatic relief in complaints within 30 days, Kamala can be successfully managed by shodhan and shaman chikitsa , the effect of ayurvedic treatment was assessed in relation to improvement in overall clinical sign and symptoms and biochemical investigations. Further study will be needed as per different assessment criteria.

This case study highlights an unusual manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) in a person living with HIV, namely mammary TB. Clinicians practising in settings where HIV and TB are endemic need to be aware of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of mammary TB.
