Adult colorectal intussusception caused by giant lipoma —A case report
We present a case of colorectal intussusception caused by a giant lipoma.AbstractIntussusception in adults is comparatively infrequent in contrast to children, and in adult colonic intussusception, malignancy is the predominant cause of the leading point. Lipoma, an uncommon tumor in the gastrointestinal tract, rarely induces colonic intussusception in adults. We present the case of a 55-year-old Cambodian man experiencing cramping abdominal pain. He presented with mild abdominal distension with tenderness in the lower abdomen. On the rectal examination a large palpable mass was detected three to four centimeters from the ...

Atypical lipoma of the right piriformis muscle: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionDiagnosis and differential diagnosis of radicular pain are potentially challenging but necessary. Atypical lipoma is prone to be misdiagnosed, especially in rare sites. It is notable for clinicians to be aware of the presence of intrapiriformis lipoma to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Prevalence and natural course of incidental gastric subepithelial tumors
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of gastric SETs increases with age. Most gastric SETs do not progress during long-term endoscopic examinations, and the risk of an increase in size is low in asymptomatic small SETs without irregular borders.PMID:38549244 | DOI:10.5946/ce.2023.124 (Source: Clinical Endoscopy)

Partial facial duplication (diprosopus): a   case report and review of the literature
ConclusionCraniofacial duplication is a very rare anomaly with only a few cases reported. Most of these patients are stillborn, even if they survive the prognosis is often poor. Early prenatal diagnosis is very important as termination of pregnancy can sometimes be considered an option. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Interdisciplinary Treatment Of Tumorous And Tumour-Like Lesions Of Peripheral Nerves
Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir. 2024 Feb;56(1):11-20. doi: 10.1055/a-2250-7772. Epub 2024 Mar 20.ABSTRACTTumorous or tumour-like lesions of peripheral nerves are generally rare, heterogeneous and challenging to diagnose and treat. They may become apparent by a palpable swelling (lump) near nerves, sensory and/or motor deficits, pain to touch or neuropathic pain. In 91% of cases, tumours are benign. The differentiation of entities and their characteristics as well as a function-preserving resection strategy are highly relevant. Misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment can lead to severe deficits and pain syndromes. Benign tumou...

A giant multi-compartment lipoma of the hand causing median nerve compression: A case report and review of literature
CONCLUSION: Giant multi-compartment lipomas of the hand are rare. Surgical excision is advocated for suspicion of malignancy, nerve compression and functional limitation. Enbloc resection without fragmentation has minimal risk of recurrence and complications.PMID:38503162 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijscr.2024.109527 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Nutritional status as a predictive factor for paediatric tuberous sclerosis complex-associated kidney angiomyolipomas: a retrospective analysis
Conclusions: While gender and genotype are known predictors, this study includes the novel finding of nutritional status as a predictor of TSC-associated kidney disease. This study sheds light on a possible complex interplay of hormonal influences, obesity, and kidney angiomyolipomas growth, and further investigations focusing on the impact of nutritional status on TSC-associated kidney disease are warranted.What is Known:•Gender and genotype are well-studied predictive factors in TSC kidney disease.What is New:•Nutritional status may influence the development and the progression of kidney lesions in children with TSC ...

Calcifying epithelioma of  Malherbe - a rare localization
Pol J Pathol. 2023;74(4):286-288. doi: 10.5114/pjp.2023.134028.ABSTRACTCalcifying epithelioma of Malherbe, also known as pilomatricoma or pilomatrixoma, mostly arises in the matrix hair follicle. It generally affects the head and neck, upper extremities, and trunk, with the lower extremities being a rare exception. We hereby present a case of a 31-year-old male patient who presented with a small, firm, subcutaneous mass over the left malleolus, which was provisionally diagnosed as lipoma. Surgical excision was performed, and the histopathology report revealed it to be pilomatricoma of the left malleolus.PMID:38477091 | DOI...
