Type Ia

Choledochal cysts are an anatomical conundrum as they present with nonspecific symptoms generally delaying diagnosis and treatment. Its lag time remains critical, as cholangiocarcinoma, a fatal sequelae, contributes to its morbidity and mortality. Herein, we present a case of a type 1A choledochal cyst. We hope that its review on presentation, classification system, diagnosis, and management prevent complications and cataclysmic results.

Diagnosis And Management

Although palatal myoclonus has been extensively described (Deuschl, Mischke, Schenck, Schulte-Mönting, & Lücking, 1990), little is known about pharyngo-laryngo-palatal myoclonus (PLPM), a complex and rare subset of head and neck myoclonic disease. To date, there have been only 5 cases of PLPM reported (Drysdale, Ansell, & Adeley, 1993; Gupta, Samant, & Katiyar, 1972; Ito, Kimura, & Shibasaki, 1993; Juby, Shandro, & Emery, 2014; Toland, Porubsky, Coker, & Adams, 1984), and no review of the diagnosis and management of this disease has been performed. Early identification of the etiology of PLPM is critical and can aid in appropriate management, referrals, and subsequent treatment. This article presents a case of PLPM along with a review of the literature relevant to PLPM including key elements of diagnosis and treatment.

State Of The Field

Ectopic spleen is a rare clinical malformation in which the spleen is relocated from its normal anatomical position to other parts of the abdomen. We report a rare case of abdominopelvic ectopic spleen caused by splenic ligament deficiency. A patient experienced intermittent pain in the left upper abdomen that was progressively aggravated. This was confirmed by comprehensive imaging examinations and postoperative pathology. We also performed a review of the literature on the current state of the field. Our data may help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of ectopic spleen.

Common Site

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.

Anomalous Pancreaticobiliary Junction

A 75-year-old female incidentally presented with an enhancing intraluminal gallbladder mass, main bile duct dilatation and anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction (APBJ) during the staging of gastric adenocarcinoma. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasm. Intracholecystic papillary-tubular neoplasms (ICPN) of the gallbladder are rare gallbladder neoplasms, defined as intramucosal, preinvasive, exophytic, mass forming lesions. An association between choledochal cysts and anomalous pancreaticobiliary junction with gallbladder neoplasms is well known, and this case potentially illustrates gallbladder carcinogenesis related to these biliary anomalies.

The review of the literature on epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment methods for chronic familial benign pemphigus Gougerot-Haley-Haley, as well as a clinical case of a patient with this disease with family history are presented. The manifestation of the disease occurred at the age of 24, after childbirth. Later there were numerous relapses. Remission was quickly achieved after treatment with antibiotics and oxygen-ozone therapy. In recent years, there has been an increase in the frequency of exacerbations of the disease, and a decrease in treatment effectiveness.

Psychotic Features

Delirious mania has been well recognized in the published literature and in the clinic. Over the years there has been refinement of understanding of its clinical features, course, and treatment. The literature suggests that delirious mania should be considered in individuals who present with a constellation of sudden onset delirium, mania, and psychosis. However, delirious mania is not recognized under a formal classification system nor are there any formal guidelines for its treatment. We, as such, question if the concept of delirious mania in the elderly is valid. We present a case of an elderly man with marked features of delirium with minimal manic or psychotic features who had a previous diagnosis of bipolar I disorder. On thorough clinical assessments no identifiable cause of his delirium was found. We therefore considered his presentation to be more likely due to delirious mania. Electroconvulsive therapy was considered and offered to which he responded very well. We invite the reader to consider whether delirious mania is a valid concept in the elderly, where features of delirium may be more prominent than manic or psychotic features.

Review Of The Literature

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is a rare tumor of the urinary system. Only three cases of EHE of the bladder have been reported to date, and the biological properties of the tumor in this location remain poorly characterized. We report a case of primary EHE of the urinary bladder in a 58-year-old woman who was treated by transurethral resection and review the existing literature on the diagnosis and treatment of EHE of the bladder.
