The puerperal hematoma is a dreaded complication of postpartum hemorrhage, caused by a vascular rupture, most often a venous one. The main known risk factors are fetal macrosomia and instrumental extractions. Depending on the location of the puerperal hematoma, a variety of symptoms ranging from vulvar swollen to an abdominal pain can be seen. The diagnosis is often clinical; a CT scan can locate the vessel causing the hematoma. The management of the puerperal hematoma is multidisciplinary with a tendency toward arterial embolization in most cases. Through a clinical observation, we will try to focus on this pathology and especially discuss the different therapeutic options.

Caroli's disease is a very rare congenital disorder, characterized by segmental cystic dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. It is called Caroli syndrome when liver fibrosis or cirrhosis coexists, and is often associated with cystic kidney disease including autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). We report a case of Caroli syndrome in a 19-year-old patient; under conservative treatment for polycystic kidney disease since the age of 10; revealed by atypical chronic pain of the right hypochondrium and which the diagnosis was made by Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) revealing findings compatible with Caroli syndrome.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare cancer of the digestive reported about 0.1%–3.0% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms, 10% of small-bowel tumors, and 10%–15% of all sarcomas. Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) and it’s coexistence with adenocarcinoma of colon is one of the rare event to occur and reported in Malaysia. Hereby, we reported a case of 70 years old lady presented with history of passing malaena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) revealed mass at greater curvature of stomach. Biopsy reported as GIST. Subsequent Computed Tomography (CT) abdomen revealed incidental finding of circumferential bowel thickening at sigmoid colon, colonoscopy revealed circumferential mass at sigmoid colon, in which biopsy reported adenocarcinoma. Patient underwent sleeve gastrectomy and anterior resection however she developed complications from anastomotic leak and succumbed to her illness.

Periosteal chondrosarcoma, also known as juxta-cortical chondrosarcoma, is a rare malignant cartilaginous tumor arising from the external surface of the bone [1, 2]. Imaging features are often specific. Recognizing periosteal chondrosarcoma and differentiating it from other surface tumors is of capital importance because the prognosis is excellent after adequate local surgery alone. Metastasis is late and very rare [3]. We report the case of a young 23 year old, who consulted for left thigh pain evolving for 3 months without inflammatory signs or deterioration of the general condition. A conventional radiographs, computed tomodensitometry and magnetic resonance imaging were performed and were in favor of periosteal chondrosarcoma. The patient underwent a biopsy which confirmed the diagnostic.

Fallopian tube prolapse through the vaginal vault is a complication seen in few cases of hysterectomies where, the adnexa is preserved. The overall occurrence of fallopian tube prolapse through vaginal vault after hysterectomy is 0.01-0.05% regardless of the route [1].The only means of definitive diagnosis is the histopathological examination. Fallopian tube prolapse can be prevented by prophylactic salpingectomy or by suturing the adnexa high up in the pelvis in abdominal hysterectomy. This condition can be confused with vault granulation tissue and serious condition like carcinoma in vaginal vault. Here, we present a case of 60yrs old lady with fimbrial prolapse through the vault.

Beneficial effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a new class of oral antidiabetic medications, have been shown in patients with type 2 diabetes and subsequently with type 1 diabetes. Since SGLT2 inhibitors lower blood glucose levels by increasing urinary glucose excretion, insulin doses often need to be reduced to avoid hypoglycemia, leading to increased ketone body formation and, possibly, euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis. In this case report, we present a type 1 diabetic patient treated with a sensor-augmented insulin pump, who was satisfied with almost normal HbA1c levels and favorable weight loss after adding ipragliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor. The insulin pump MiniMed 640G featured with automated suspension and restart of insulin delivery was demonstrated to be effective and useful to prevent severe hypoglycemia and, probably, diabetic ketoacidosis. The extent of ketonemia seemed to vary with changes in pathophysiological factors. Patients and clinicians should be aware of a STICH protocol to mitigate the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis in patients with type 1 diabetes on adjunctive treatment with SGLT inhibitors.

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of skeletal muscle disorder characterized by muscle weakness in the upper and lower limbs, elevated creatine phosphokinase and decreased muscular activity. The disorder occurs due to the genetic variability among the genes involved in synthesis of muscle protiens. The most commonly affected muscular protein is dystrophin encoded by the dystrophin gene located in the human X chromosome. LGMD subgrouped as sarcoglycanopathies, dysferlinopathy, calpainopathy, and GNE myopathy based on the protein and genetic involvement. In the present case report a 34 years old male admitted with complaints of lower limb weakness with elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and found to be 2647.7 U/L (24-195 U/L). Also, serum lactate dehydrogenase was found to be 304 U/L. Also he was treated for the complication of grade I fatty liver. In the present case, regular monitoring and symptomatic management required to prevent or reduce the risk of other signs and symptoms.

Polypoid lesions or grape like masses of vagina are always worrisome and uncommon. In infants and young girls, such lesions are suspicious for sarcoma botryoides. In adults, benign vaginal polyps with bizarre stromal cells may occur, leading to a misdiagnosis of sarcoma. Fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina (FEPV) have attracted special interest during the past decades because of the presence of atypical cells and abnormal mitoses in some of them 2'. Fibroepithelial polyps of the vagina (FEPV) are mucosal polypoid lesions with a connective tissue core covered by a benign squamous epithelium. They are thought to be rare. Here we present an unusual case of 42 years old female patient with complaint of pain in lower abdomen since 6 months diagnosed with fibroepithelial polyp of the vagina (FEPV).

Inguinal bladder hernia is a relatively rare, predominantly male condition. The diagnosis is often made by inguinal swelling in a patient over the age of 50 with inguinal swelling associated with disorders of the lower urinary tract in men (LUTS). The diagnosis is confirmed using several medical imaging modalities (UCR, ultrasound, Uro-CT). We report the cases of 3 patients in whom an inguinal hernia of the bladder was suggested on the basis of a clinical suspicion and confirmed by performing a uroscanner. Two patients underwent surgical reduction of the hernia and in one of the patients a prostatic adenomectomy was also done. There were no associated post-operative complications.

Introduction: Filariasis is a major health hazard around the globe causing 120–129 million cases in over 72 countries. Cases with breast as primary site for the parasite are uncommon and have been reported in females. Here we present a case of a male patient with filariasis of breast which is extremely rare. Case report: A 55-year-old male presented to the outpatient department with a mildly painful swelling in his left breast in sub areolar region. The smears from the aspirate showed cystic and phagocytic macrophages, few microfilaria forms and few fibro-fatty fragments in haemorrhagic background. Conclusion: Filariasis of the breast is an uncommon condition and can cause a diagnostic dilemma at times. Hence a high index of suspicion especially in patients from endemic areas is required.
