INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Bucket-handle mesenteric tear (BHMT) is a type of intestinal mesenteric injury where the intestine separates from its mesentery resulting in ischemia and perforation. Traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) is a disruption of the abdominal wall muscles and fascia in the presence of intact skin. BHMT and TAWH following bicycle handlebar injury in adults are rare. TAWH and generalized abdominal tenderness led to emergent surgical treatment in our patient. I aim to report these rare clinical entities in an adult patient with the management...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The treatment of a complex calciphylaxis wound with infection continues to be a significant challenge in a clinical situation. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of an 87-year-old man presented with a nontraumatic painful ulcer on his right heel. Calciphylaxis was diagnosed by the biopsy. Although a serial therapy of sodium thiosulphate, tramadol hydrochloride, frequent dressing changes, and conventional surgical debridement initiated, the worsening skin wound covered with a necrotic base and blackish eschar was formed...

BACKGROUND: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a polymicrobial, both aerobic and anaerobic, synergistic necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal, genital, or perianal regions. It is a rapidly progressive and fulminant soft tissue infection and it is potentially fatal. Fournier's gangrene has been shown to be strongly associated with diabetes, chronic alcoholism, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), lymphoproliferative diseases, chronic steroid abuse, and cytotoxic drugs. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 25-year-old Ethiopian male patient with no previous medical history presented to the emergency department with a four-day history of perineal pain, swelling, and discharge...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Unilateral choanal atresia is a congenital anomaly where a newborn baby is born with a unilateral imperforate posterior nare. In most of the time the diagnosis may be missed for years after birth. A rhinolith is an entity formed by gradual deposition and coating of different salts of calcium and magnesium over an endogenous or exogenous nidus in the nasal cavity. Coexistence of a rhinolith and choanal atresia is a very rare encounter in clinical practice and to the best of our knowledge this is perhaps the first documented case in Tanzania...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by NF1 gene mutation, which is associated with several types of tumors. GIST is an intestinal stromal tumor arising from interstitial cells of Cajal in the intestine. GIST is one of the neoplasms seen in NF1 and usually affects elderly individuals with a median age around 60-65 years but rarely occur in children, adolescent and young adults.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Clostridial myonecrosis (CM), or gas gangrene, is a rare necrotizing muscle infection caused most often by Clostridium perfringens or C. septicum. Inoculation can occur either traumatically or spontaneously. CM has a high mortality rate if not treated promptly. CASE PRESENTATION: A 64-year-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) with sudden onset left flank pain and fever.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The common complications of triamcinolone acetonide injection are subcutaneous atrophy and hypopigmentation. Several therapies have been reported, including autologous fat grafting, saline injection, and various filler injections. However, severe cases of both subcutaneous atrophy and hypopigmentation occurring together are rare. In this case report, we present a successful autologous fat transplantation treatment to address multiple severe subcutaneous atrophy and hypopigmentation caused by triamcinolone acetonide injection...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Degeneration process occurs in humans after reaching their maximum potential. The degeneration process in the spine includes osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease, however, the conventional treatment causes many post-operative complications. Minimally invasive procedures have recently been carried out considering the same expected outcome and minimally injuring other tissues. Biological approaches using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and secretomes are more promising for bone-related issues...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Leiomyoma is the most common gynecologic tumor which may show atypical locations and degenerations. Cystic degeneration is said to be found in 4 % of all degenerations. Endometriosis, the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at extrauterine sites, is a common gynaecological condition seen in 10 % to 15 % of reproductive-age women usually being associated with various degrees of fertility problems. CASE PRESENTATION: 40 years old woman with P1L1A2, with secondary sub-fertility for 5 years, presented with chief complaints of dysmenorrhoea for 1 year initially around the menstrual cycle relieving with analgesics but later not limited to the menstrual cycle and pain not relieving with analgesics since 1 month...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Pressure ulcers (known as pressure injuries) occur when a bony prominence, such as the sacrum, is subjected to prolonged pressure and can result in soft tissue injury. Continuous and attentive repositioning is necessary to prevent and cure pressure-induced wounds.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Heterotopic Pancreas (HP) is defined by the presence of pancreatic tissue in an anatomically distinct location from the main pancreas. While often clinically silent, it may present symptomatically. If located in the gastric antrum, HP may cause gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). The objective of this paper is to present a rare case of HP in the gastric antrum causing GOO. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report a 43-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and non-bilious emesis in the setting of COVID-19 infection and alcohol consumption...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Teratoma is a germ cell tumor originating from pluripotent germ cells and embryonal cells that commonly occurs in the gonads with only 15 % of it arising in extragonadal sites. In infants and children, teratomas of the head and neck are uncommon that comprise 0.47 %-6 % of all teratomas, and their occurrence in parotid gland is extremely rare. It is considered a diagnostic pitfall preoperatively, and their definite diagnosis can only be made upon surgery followed by histopathological examination...
