Fibromatosis (desmoid, desmoid tumour) is a tumour belonging to the group of fibrous tissue proliferative diseases. Although the tumour cannot produce distant metastases, it shows local malignancy by invading adjacent tissues, as well as high recurrence rates after local resection. The incidence of fibromatosis is 2-4 cases per 1 million inhabitants per year. Three types of fibromatosis have been distinguished: extra-abdominal, abdominal wall and intra-abdominal type. Although the most common types are sporadic, coexistence with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), known as the Gardner’s syndrome, is observed. Available therapeutic options include surgical treatment, watchful waiting, hormone therapy, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This case report aims to draw attention to the difficulties in selecting an appropriate treatment option, limited surgical treatment, the psychological aspect of the disease, as well as the need to actively search for modern diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. We present a case of a 26-year-old patient who was ultimately diagnosed with a desmoid tumour invading the abdominal wall and internal abdominal organs. The patient presented to a county hospital due to suspected gastrointestinal obstruction. It was found from medical history that the patient had palpated a tumour of the abdominal wall 9 months before admission.

Gallstone ileus is an uncommon and often life-threatening complication of cholelithiasis. In this case report, we discuss a difficult diagnostic case of gallstone ileus presenting as small gut obstruction with ischemia. A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. A CT scan was performed and showed an evolving bowel obstruction with features of gut ischemia with pneumobilia although no frank hyper density suggestive of a gallstone was noted. The patient underwent emergency surgery and a 60 mm obstructing calculus was removed from the patient's jejunum, with a formal tube cholecystostomy. JMS 2018: 21 (2):117-119

Abstract This 41-years-old female presented with somnolence, confusion and nuchal rigidity. Preoperative angio-CT scan showed two aneurysm located on both internal carotid artery (ICA) at the site of posterior communicating artery (PComA). During surgery we discovered another dilatation on the origin of left ophtalmic artery that proves to be an infundibullum. We clipped the two communicating posterior aneurysm from the left side and the ophtalmic infundibullum was wrapped. Seven days after surgery the neurological status was improved and she was transferred to the Neurological department.
