A long rectal foreign body successfully removed after colonoscopy
Discussion: Rectal foreign bodies, whose size and shape are variable and sometimes aberrant, are often self-inserted for self-gratification by adults, and its incidence is increasing. Patients typically avoid immediate medical attention and seek help only when complications arise. Formal clinical guidelines are lacking, and this case illustrates the importance of clinical judgement in the management of rectal foreign bodies, whether endoscopic or surgical.PMID:38345475 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2024.10251/2024 (Source: Revista Espanola de Enfermedades Digestivas)

Transverse colon volvulus in a young patient with wandering liver
We present the case of a 26-year-old male patient with no history of interest who consulted the emergency department due to occlusive symptoms. Urgent CT showed the presence of a transverse colonic volvulus in the context of a heterotopic liver, located in the left hypochondrium. There were no clinical or radiological signs of perforation or ischemia, so urgent endoscopic decompression was performed with subsequent elective surgery with a favorable resolution of the condition. Transverse colonic volvulus is rare (<1%) and wandering liver is an exceptional predisposing factor, with less than a hundred published cases. In...

Diagnostic value of ascites immunohistochemistry in carcinomatosis of unknown origin
We present the case of a patient diagnosed with carcinomatosis when admitted urgently for an occlusive condition. It is the immunohistochemistry that clarifies which is the primary tumor. Sigma neoplasia was initially suspected to recur due to operative findings. It was surprising that the primary tumor was of pulmonary origin. It became known thanks to the immunohistochemical cytology of the ascetic fluid.PMID:38345502 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2024.10256/2024 (Source: Revista Espanola de Enfermedades Digestivas)
