Abstract In recent years, intragastric balloons (IGBs) have emerged as an efficacious, nonsurgical modality to treat obesity. We present a case in which IGB caused gastric ulcer, only unearthed after the novel technique of deflation and early retrieval.
A colonic perineurioma is often considered a benign cousin to polyp. However, in the submucosal type of perineurioma, it important rule out malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Alternatively, BRAF-positive serrated types perineuriomas, surveillance equivalent intervals designated polyps due similar potential. These versions serve as reminders that perineuriomas are not be disregarded.
With current life expectancies exceeding 78 years on average, to be confronted with the discovery of a rare cancer often found in advanced stages is startling devastation. Angiosarcoma intestine and aggressive tumor that not considered differential diagnosis intestinal obstruction. Once accurately diagnosed, it bewildering race against time as its median survival 150 days from diagnosis. This case report details small angiosarcoma host surpassing epidemiological standards despite only being...
Introduction: Tirzepatide is a dual gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) used off-label for weight loss. Its GLP-1 activity decreases emptying (GE) causing satiety but can increase colonic stool burden. Unchecked, our patient presented with the first reported case of tirzepatide-induced pneumatosis intestinalis (PI). Case Description/Methods: A 30-year-old female hypothyroidism recent 80 pound loss using tirzepatide 6 months RLQ abdominal...
