Angiomyolipomas are benign mesenchymal lesions often diagnosed incidentally, composed of adipose tissue, dysmorphic blood vessels, and smooth muscle. They are usually unilateral and symptomatic only when larger than 4 centimeters, posing a risk of spontaneous rupture and severe retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Treatment varies from conservative management to selective embolization or nephrectomy, depending on tumor size and patient condition. This case report describes a 26-year-old female with a giant renal angiomyolipoma treated with angioembolization, who subsequently developed postembolization syndrome.

Betel quid chewing is a common practice in many cultures and has been associated with various health risks, including an increased likelihood of developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This case study presents a critical instance of metastatic SCC of the lower lip induced by betel quid chewing. A 45-year-old male with a history of betel quid chewing presented with a persistent and enlarging sore on his lower lip. A biopsy revealed SCC, and subsequent imaging confirmed metastasis to the lungs. This case highlights the potential for betel quid chewing to induce metastatic SCC and emphasizes the need for awareness and cessation of this habit to prevent such severe health outcomes. The aggressive nature of metastatic SCC warrants immediate and effective treatment strategies.

Pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma (PDAC) accounts for about 85-90% of all solid pancreatic tumors, which is well-known for poor prognosis and high morbidity. Despite the massive advent of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in recent years, surgical removal is still considered the cornerstone management option in this situation. Pancreaticoduodenectomy or Whipple procedure is generally contraindicated in metastasis or tumors that encase more than 50% of vessels. Vascular reconstruction is a state-of-the-art technique which requires the remarkable involvement of vascular experts in the setting of PDAC-invading vessels. In this article, we present an exceptional case of a 38-year-old male patient who underwent radical resection for advanced pancreatic cancer with superior mesenteric vein reconstruction by a great saphenous vein.

Injuries to blood vessels occur in 0.8% of the cases following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. They may result from direct penetration while insertion of trocar or by thermal injury (electrocautery). Pseudoaneurysm of hepatic artery is a rare occurrence. It is a serious complication following acute or chronic injuries to hepatic artery, with only 0.06% to 0.6% of the cases being reported. Endovascular embolization is usually the first line treatment in the management of pseudoaneurysm of hepatic artery with high success rate. Surgical intervention should be considered if the embolization fails, pseudoaneurysm are infected or other vascular structures are compressed. Our case highlights a 48-year-old male presenting with complaints of pain abdomen and jaundice later diagnosed to be a case of pseudoaneurysm of right hepatic artery and was successfully managed with angiographic embolization, which is the first line of management.

This case report discusses a 64-year-old male with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a genetic disorder characterized by benign tumor formation across multiple organ systems. The patient presented with a spontaneous hemorrhage from a right renal angiomyolipoma, a common and potentially life-threatening manifestation of TSC, particularly in patients with TSC2 mutations. The patient's significant comorbidities, including hypertension and dyslipidemia, further complicated his clinical course. Initial management involved aggressive fluid resuscitation and blood product transfusion, followed by urgent embolization to control active bleeding. Despite developing complications such as transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), the patient was successfully stabilized. This case highlights the necessity for careful monitoring and prompt intervention in patients with TSC, given the high risk of hemorrhage from angiomyolipomas, especially those larger than 3 cm. We also emphasize the importance of differentiating TSC-associated angiomyolipomas from other renal masses, considering the variability in clinical presentation and the potential for late-onset symptoms. Additionally, it highlights the critical role of a multidisciplinary approach in managing TSC patients, addressing both acute complications and long-term surveillance to prevent recurrence and other systemic manifestations of the disease.

Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare self-limiting disease, typically occurring in children and young adults, that causes slow progressive atrophy of one-half of the face. It primarily affects the subcutaneous tissue and skin with some cases exhibiting deeper extension to glandular, osseous and muscular structures. Neurologic and ocular involvement is variable. Neuroimaging with computed tomography (CT) scan aids in demonstrating radiological features, assessing disease severity, and detecting neurological and ocular complications. We present a severe case of PRS in a 25-year-old female with right-sided facial asymmetry, diagnosed based on medical history, clinical examination and head CT scan findings.

An epithelioid angiomyolipoma (a perivascular epithelioid cell tumor) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with distinctive cellular morphology and nonspecific imaging appearances. Mostly reported perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are benign; however, rarely, PEComas can be malignant with pulmonary, hepatic, nodal, and osseous metastases. We present a case of a 40-year-old man with malignant right submandibular salivary gland PEComa, metastasized to the bones, lungs, and liver. We are going to discuss the diagnosis and management options of the rare disease of metastatic PEComa of the submandibular salivary gland.

Tuberculosis is more frequently found among high-risk populations in the United States. It has a challenging diagnosis since it can present with diverse organ involvement that may delay the diagnosis. This is especially true regarding hepatic tuberculosis, with prevalence varying in each study but highly suggestive of underdiagnosis. An 18-year-old male with high-risk exposure to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis presented with fever, night sweats, weight loss, and cough. Imaging revealed a right lung cavitary mass with bilateral pulmonary nodules, right pleural nodular thickening traversing diaphragm extending to the liver with subcapsular hepatic lobulated hypodensities. MRI showed spinal involvement consistent with Pott's disease. It is important to consider hepatic tuberculosis in differential diagnoses for a hepatic lesion, allowing early detection and treatment to optimize patient outcomes.

Post-traumatic pulmonary embolism (PE) poses diagnostic complexities, especially with underlying lung pathologies and delayed symptoms. We report a 43-year-old male who presented with cough, frothy sputum, and dyspnea following blunt chest trauma 2 weeks ago. Due to a history of asthma, an asthma exacerbation was suspected but he failed to respond to bronchodilator therapy. Doppler USG (ultrasonography) was negative for deep venous thrombi, however, elevated D-dimer levels prompted further investigation with computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), confirming the diagnosis of PE. Prompt initiation of anticoagulation and thrombolysis resulted in clinical improvement. This case underscores the need to rule out posttraumatic PE, irrespective of age, type of, or time since injury, and underlying lung disease, to ensure timely diagnosis and intervention.
创伤后肺栓塞（PE）给诊断带来了复杂性，尤其是潜在的肺部病变和延迟症状。我们报告了一名 43 岁男性患者的病例，他两周前因胸部钝挫伤而出现咳嗽、泡沫痰和呼吸困难。由于有哮喘病史，他被怀疑为哮喘加重，但对支气管扩张剂治疗无效。多普勒 USG（超声波检查）显示深静脉血栓呈阴性，但 D-二聚体水平升高促使他进一步接受计算机断层扫描肺血管造影术（CTPA）检查，确诊为 PE。及时启动抗凝治疗和溶栓治疗后，临床症状有所改善。本病例强调了排除创伤后 PE 的必要性，无论年龄、受伤类型或受伤后时间长短，也无论是否患有潜在的肺部疾病，以确保及时诊断和干预。

Wandering spleen is a rare clinical entity characterized by the laxity, absence, or abnormal attachment of splenic supporting ligaments leading to hypermobility and abnormal positioning of the spleen in the abdominal cavity. The abnormally increased mobility of the spleen predisposes it to torsion and infarction. Authors present a case of wandering spleen complicated to torsion and infarct in a middle aged lady. The patient presented with acute abdominal pain, diagnosed by abdominal computed tomography and underwent surgery and splenectomy.
