Meningomyelocele and meningocele are types of neural tube defects, which congenital abnormalities the spine spinal cord. These conditions frequently encountered by pediatric neurosurgeons worldwide represent a significant public health concern due to their association with range collateral conditions, other malformations, increased morbidity. While many cases can be identified during prenatal ultrasound screenings, this is often challenging in resource-limited settings poor health-seeking...
Background: Penile Mondor’s disease (PMD) is a rare clinical condition with an estimated incidence of 1.39%, though the true may be higher as it often self-limiting. Many patients not seek medical attention due to stigma, potentially leading untreated psychological distress and sexual dysfunction. Case presentation: We report case young man who presented cord-like swelling on his penile shaft, persisting for three months. The was accompanied by mild pain during erection initially managed...
Pancreatic cancer is a common and deadly cancer, ranking as the 14th most worldwide 7th leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Advanced pancreatic malignancy frequently presents with biliary gastric outlet obstruction palliative open interventions are often required, especially in low-income countries where endoscopic surgical bypass methods unavailable. This study aimed to describe demographic clinical characteristics patients undergoing biliodigestive for malignancy. was hospital-based...
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the skin is an exceedingly rare neoplasm, with only a limited number cases documented in literature. Typically, mucoepidermoid arises salivary glands, where it accounts for 30% all malignant gland tumors and generally presents as low-grade malignancy low probability metastasis. We report case 49-year-old female patient African origin who presented to our tertiary center longstanding scalp lesion that had been present approximately 10 years. Initially, was roughly...
Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare neoplasm, accounting for ˂1% of all cancers. Most cases are B-cell phenotype and typically present as painless mass. Imaging findings often non-specific, mimicking benign pathology, diagnosis confirmed through histopathological analysis. While no standardized treatment guidelines exist, surgery plays limited role, with the cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) regimen, or without radiotherapy, being commonly employed. Here, we...
Intussusception is rarely seen in adulthood but commonly the pediatric age group. Causes of intussusception adults are due to tumors and inflammatory diseases. accounts for less than 5% intestinal obstruction. Colonic lipomas usually asymptomatic mostly managed surgically with promising outcomes as our case.
Key Clinical Message Jejunalileal atresia is a cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn, hence surgical emergency. Prenatal diagnosis can be made by simple obstetric ultrasound and postnatal plain abdominal x‐ray to plan multidisciplinary approach reduce morbidity neonatal mortality. Abstract Atresia occur anywhere along intestines common neonates. Jejunoileal (JIA) rare disease occurring 2.1 per 10,000 live births. Type 3b jejunoileal occurs 11% all small bowel atresia. We present...
Colorectal cancer associated with chronic intestinal schistosomiasis has been linked the inflammation as a result of schistosomal ova deposition in submucosal layer intestine. Among all species Schistosoma japonicum more to development colorectal compared mansoni due absence population-based studies support association. Despite weak evidence, some cases have reported associating S. cancer. We report patient who presented us case obstruction and found constrictive lesion at sigmoid colon...
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a chronic illness caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. It classified as neglected disease and priority according to World Health Organization. CE prevalent in populations engaged specific livestock practices associated with poor living conditions. 41-year-old female Maasai patient who presented symptoms of cough, dyspnea, fever, weight loss. Physical examination CT scans confirmed presence cystic masses lungs liver. The underwent thoracotomy procedure...
Liposarcoma is a tumor derived from primitive cells that undergo adipose differentiation. They comprise 10%–35% of all soft tissue sarcomas. We present 46-year-old female patient with 4-year history giant swelling on the lateral aspect left thigh. Wide local excision mass was performed and histopathological analysis revealed well-differentiated liposarcoma. Liposarcomas commonly appear in extremities have distinct features imaging studies. Surgical treatment histology are most important...
Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare malignant lymphoid neoplasm limited to the breast, accounting for about 0.15% of all tumors and 1.7% 2.2% extra-nodal lymphomas. PBL must be distinguished from conventional carcinomas due different therapeutic approaches. A 25-year-old female presented with left mass. Histopathology immunohistochemical tests confirmed diagnosis diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL). She had no similar lesions elsewhere in body. received 1 cycle R-CHOP chemotherapy but absconded...
Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage is a rare condition with various risk factors in the pediatric population. Adrenal commonly affects right side about 70% of cases and bilateral 10%. It usually asymptomatic but can cause insufficiency sudden death. should be considered even when there are no factors, as it occur spontaneously unspecific clinical presentations. Ultrasonography confirm diagnosis, relatively cheap safe modality, especially for resource-limited settings. In this case report, we...
Abstract Lipomas are common benign tumors, typically affecting subcutaneous tissues in the head, neck, trunk, and upper limbs, particularly individuals over 40 years old. However, visceral involvement, such as mesenteric lipomas, is exceedingly rare, with fewer than 50 pediatric cases reported English literature. Mesenteric lipomas generally asymptomatic but may present non-specific symptoms like abdominal distension or signs of partial complete intestinal obstruction. Imaging modalities...
Sigmoid volvulus in pregnancy is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction with high maternal and fetal morbidity mortality if not diagnosed managed early.A 29-year-old female (Chagga by tribe) presented clinical features 24 weeks into her second pregnancy. She had symptoms for one week. An emergency laparotomy was performed whereby gangrenous sigmoid found; thus, it resected Hartmann's colostomy raised. Unfortunately, she experienced intrauterine death post-operatively. discharged clinically...
Chondromyxoid fibroma is one of the rarest benign cartilaginous tumors accounting for less than 0.5% bone and mostly found in metaphysis long bones. Diagnosis by histology showing lobular pattern with stellate-shaped cells a myxoid or chondroid background. Often they can be misdiagnosed as chondrosarcomas. Recommended treatment approach surgically excision due to high risk malignancy. Although benign, local recurrence common presented from this case report.
Abstract The pancreatic pseudocyst contains enzymes encapsulated by a non‐epithelialized wall. They are rare in the pediatric population and mostly result of trauma: extrinsic, or intrinsic. Management options include conservative surgical, depending on clinical signs symptoms, size cyst.
Pedunculated lipofibroma is a rare form of nevus lipomatous cutaneous superficialis. They are usually solitary lesions found around the thighs, buttocks and trunk; thought to have predilection for pressure areas. There two types lipofibromas; sessile or pedunculated. mostly asymptomatic but can cause symptoms as they grow larger affecting daily activities. Treatment not indicated in smaller lesions, except cosmetic purposes. Herein we present this benign lesion with an unusually large size.
Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare and distinctive variant of fibrosarcoma. To date, about 100 cases only have been documented. Histopathologically, it resembles variety benign, pseudosarcomatous other malignancies. Early diagnosis treatment are vital for improving the outcomes.
Chest tube thoracostomy is a simple life-saving procedure with many benefits but comes significant potential morbidity. Potentially all intra-thoracic organs are at risk of possible injury as well peritoneal.We present four patients who had chest complications fortunately were managed promptly and recovered fully.Complications related to reported up 25 % especially when done under emergency conditions. While the safe, it's associated morbidity not described. Additionally, clinicians urged...
