Introduction: Bisalbuminemia is a qualitative disorder of albumin and it is defined by the coexistence in the same individual of two types of serum albumin with different electrophoretic mobility. There are two forms: hereditary and permanent, or acquired and transient.Case Report: Girl, 17-years-old, referenced to the hospital consult after incidental finding of bisalbuminemia detected in plasma protein electrophoresis performed within the investigation of diminished muscular tone in the lower limbs. Physical examination was normal. Secondary causes of bisalbuminemia were excluded. Later, it was confirmed the same disorder in plasma protein electrophoresis performed to her 14-years-old brother and mother.Discussion: We describe a rare case of hereditary bisalbuminemia in a portuguese family. In general, this condition shows no pathological significance, however it is of interest to the clinicians the knowledge of this analytic change for better orientation of their patients.

Patient Reported

Loss of plasma protein into the gastrointestinal tract in the absence of actual bleeding has recently been demonstrated as a cause of "idiopathic hypoproteinemia." The euphonious name, "exudative enteropathy," has been used by Gordon to describe a group of nine patients, including a 2-year-old boy, whose common finding was hypoproteinemia due to loss of plasma protein into the gastrointestinal tract. A concomitant report by Schwartz and Jarnum confirms the association of these events in four additional patients. Although the first such patient reported had quantities of plasma protein present in the gastric juice sufficient to allow their demonstration by electrophoresis, the rapid digestion of the proteins by the enzymes normally present in the gastrointestinal tract has required the use of less direct methods in most of the subsequent cases. Using a preparation of I131-labelled polyvinyl pyrrolidone (a plasma substitute with average molecular weight the same as serum albumin) Gordon has devised a test that avoids the problems created by the gastrointestinal digestion of protein.

The Right

Cor triatriatum dextrum is an exceptionally rare congenital heart disease, in which the right atrium is partitioned into two chambers by a membrane to form a triatrial heart. It is caused by persistence of the right valve of sinus venosus. The aim of presenting this case is to develop awareness regarding cor triatriatum dextrum , though a rare case, can be present and may contribute to right heart failure and 2D-echocardiography is an important tool in making early and accurate diagnosis. We are reporting a case of an elderly Bangladeshi male presented with the features of mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension with CCF with respiratory tract infection, where cor triatriatum dextrum with an atrial septal defect was an incidental finding on routine echocardiographic assessment.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2016; 31(1) : 37-40

Careful Physical Examination

Careful physical examination of the site of procedure before the caudal pain procedure should be performed because it could show the patient’s abnormal anatomical conditions. An abdominal binder could be used effectively in a patient showing CSF leakage in the coccygeal area, which is not controlled by conventional compressive dressing.

The Relationship

We present a rare case of a lipoleiomyoma which was discovered incidentally in a hysterectomy specimen of a 74-year old female patient who underwent surgery for a biopsy proven serous adenocarcinoma of the uterus. Lipoleiomyomas represent uncommon, usually benign soft-tissue tumors, generally found in obese menopausal as well as postmenopausal women aged 50 to 70 years. The reported incidence varies from 0.03\% to 0.2\%. The relationship between lipoleiomyomas and gynecologic malignancies has only been reported in a few cases. We report this case of lipoleiomyoma due to its rarity and its association with a serous adenocarcinoma in our patient.
