METHODS
A 54-year-old patient with painless jaundice and vomiting had been diagnosed with a Peutz-Jeghers syndrome 20 years before.
METHODS
The blood analysis showed a cholestatic constellation as well as increased transaminases. Sonographic, radiological, endoscopic and histological findings
We report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings of a patient who presented with lower thoracic pain, nausea, and vomiting and had a CT scan of the chest in which a well-defined homogeneous mass was identified. Further evaluation
Brunner gland function within the duodenal epithelium is secretion of alkaline mucin to counteract acidic chyme. These glands may grow beyond the duodenal wall to become hamartomas. Rarely, they become large enough to cause obstructive symptoms in the upper gastrointestinal tract. We report a case
An 11-year-old cat presented for evaluation of intermittent vomiting, constipation and hyporexia of 3 weeks duration. Ultrasonographic and endoscopic examination revealed a soft tissue mass adjacent to the lower gastro-esophageal sphincter. Surgical excision of the mass was successfully performed
Reported in this paper is the case of a female newborn with mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver. High-accuracy ultrasonography diagnostics were applied to the mother admitted for examination for suspicion of fetal hydronephrosis in the 31st week of pregnancy. A 7 x 4 cm compartmental process was
A rare case of myoepithelial hamartoma of the duodenal wall is presented, and previous case reports found in the literature are reviewed. Myoepithelial hamartomas are thought to arise from displaced pancreatic anlage present along the gastrointestinal tract during embryogenesis, which can
Intussusception is a common cause of emergency in children. We report a unusual case of intestinal obstruction due to small bowel-small bowel intussusception with an intestinal hamartoma as the lead point.A 5 year old boy presented to the ED with worsening BACKGROUND
Intussusception is rare in adults and can have acute, intermittent or chronic presentations. We present an unusual case of intussusception in an adult.
METHODS
A 25 year old male presented with sudden severe abdominal pain and vomiting. He had no relevant medical history. Mechanical small
We present the case of a 50-year old patient, operated on for three adjoining annular strictures in the jejunum with proximal dilatation. He presented with a one-year history of recurrent cramping in the upper abdomen and vomiting, with two episodes of intestinal obstruction. Microscopic examination
METHODS
A 61-year-old man had been suffering from repeated episodes of postprandial vomiting and a feeling of fullness as well as a weight loss of 8 kg for two months. Three years prior to this, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy had been carried out at a different institution after a pancreatitis on
Esophageal hamartoma is a rare entity, as only 7 cases have been previously reported in the English-language literature. Common symptoms include dysphagia, weight loss, and vomiting. Life-threatening airway obstruction can also occur. Because of the nonspecific nature of the symptoms, patients with
Pancreatic hamartoma is a rare benign lesion and may be mistaken for a malignancy, as demonstrated by two cases. The first case was a 29-year-old man who presented with a 7-month history of intermittent upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and a 15-kg weight loss. CT and MRI revealed a mass in
OBJECTIVE
Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is an entity with a varied presentation and frequent initial delay in diagnosis. The macroscopic appearance too is quite heterogeneous with solid, cystic and mixed variants being present with varying degrees of vascularity. Management will depend on
A twenty six year old woman was admitted suffering an anemia syndrome, postprandial vomiting and intermittent melena of six months evolution. The hemoglobin was 3.5 g/dL: an endoscopy detected a large tumor in the duodenum with a 90% obstruction of the lumen. A biopsy reported an erosive, acute and
Intraventricular hamartomas are extremely uncommon lesions outside of a setting of tuberous sclerosis. The second case of its kind in medical literature is presented and its possible aetiopathogenesis, imaging characteristics, pathognomonic magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and histopathology
