Solitary or multiple, digital or extra-digital, these cutaneous tumors can be benign or malignant. This report describes the diagnosis and surgical management of a solitary glomus tumor at the base of the right thumb in a young Sudanese woman. The diagnosis of glomus tumor was confirmed by medical history, sonographic findings and histopathological report. The lesion was excised via direct complete excision under local anesthesia, resulting in a complete resolution of symptoms. Owing to its high sensitivity level, the use of ultrasound is appropriate to evaluate a lesion suspected to be a glomus tumor. A clinician needs to take into consideration the likelihood of glomus tumors when assessing a patient who has a skin lesion on fingers, toes, or extra-digital area, with pain triggered by temperature changes, pressure, or touch. Additionally, this report includes a review of recent globally reported cases of glomus tumor in the hand to highlight the distinctiveness of this report in context to its atypical location in the area of the thenar eminence and underscoring it as a unique report of its kind from Saudi Arabia.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140779097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite being predisposed to severe complications like heart failure, patients with CAF infrequently experience severe stenosis in the coronary artery. This study delineates a case involving a 46-year-old male presenting with a fistula bridging the right coronary artery (RCA) and right atrium (RA), manifesting a pronounced 99% stenosis at the right extremity of the coronary artery proximal to the fistula. Concurrently, the individual exhibits six conventional risk factors: age over 40, male gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and hypertriglyceridemia. Following pharmaceutical intervention, the patient was discharged and subjected to extended follow-up. This case highlights the dual processes of \"accelerating damage\" and \"retarding renewal\" in the progression of atherosclerosis. Factors such as shear stress, smoking, and hypertension are posited to expedite endothelial cell damage, while aging and diabetes may impede the renewal and repair of these cells. Together with the concept of secondary atherosclerotic plaque healing, this case prompts the introduction of a \"Double Endothelial Healings\" hypothesis, proposing a potential pathogenetic mechanism for coronary artery atherosclerosis.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10982067/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140335575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It mostly affects patients who are metabolically or immunologically compromised, which constitutes one of the three classical stages of the progression of Rhino-Orbito-Cerebral Mucormycosis (ROCM). Stage I: infection of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses; Stage II: orbital involvement; Stage III: cerebral involvement.Here, we report a case of rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis in a 14-year-old girl with no known risk factor who presented with periorbital edema, right eye proptosis, fever, and extreme facial pain, which progressively worsened to confusion and left leg weakness in 3 days after admission. The final diagnosis was rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis. The infection was successfully treated using liposomal amphotericin and surgical debridement to remove infected orbital tissue. Mucormycosis is a potentially fatal disease that necessitates prompt diagnosis and treatment. Children are rarely infected with mucormycosis. The majority of studies show that people are typically between 40 and 50 years old. ROCM is typically diagnosed using clinical symptoms and histopathologic evaluation; however, imaging is critical in determining the presence of intracranial lesions. The standard treatment for ROCM is amphotericin B at a recommended dose of 1.0-1.5 mg/kg/day for weeks or months, depending on the clinical response and severity of adverse drug reactions, particularly nephrotoxicity.Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis in a healthy female child is uncommon; early diagnosis and prompt treatment with Amphotericin B should be necessary. Devastating consequences will result from a delayed diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10981427/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140335629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spontaneous rupture of an unscarred bicornuate uterus is a life-threatening obstetric emergency with high morbidity and mortality in the mother and fetus; however, it most commonly occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy.Case: A 20-year-old primigravid woman at 22 weeks of gestation, with no prior surgery, presented with severe abdominal pain, anemia, and hemodynamic instability. With a preoperative diagnosis of uterine rupture, she was transfused with three units of cross-matched whole blood and underwent emergency laparotomy. Intraoperative findings showed a ruptured bicornuate uterus and a dead fetus in the abdomen with huge hemoperitoneum. Postoperative recovery was smooth, and the patient was discharged after being counselled on family planning and subsequent pregnancy.Conclusion: A bicornuate uterus may be an independent risk factor for uterine rupture, which can occur in primigravid women at any stage of pregnancy. Each obstetrician should have a high index of suspicion for a rare condition like ruptured bicornuate uterus, especially for a pregnant woman presenting with acute abdominal pain and hemodynamic instability. Early ultrasonography plays a key role in the evaluation, follow-up, and management of these patients.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10960533/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140208864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kidney cancer (KC) is a common malignancy globally. Chemo- or radio-therapies are not very effective to control PC or KC, and overdoses often cause severe site reactions to the patients. As a result, novel treatment strategies with high efficacy but without toxic side effects are urgently desired. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) belongs to plant lignans with potential anticancer activities, but clinical evidence is not available in PC or KC treatment.Patient concerns: We report a rare case of an 83-year-old female patient with pancreatic and kidney occupying lesions that lacked the conditions to receive surgery or chemo- or radiotherapy.Diagnosis: Pancreatic and kidney cancers.Interventions: We gave dietary SDG to the patient as the only therapeutics.Outcomes: SDG effectively halted progression of both PC and KC. All clinical manifestations, including bad insomnia, loss of appetite, stomach symptoms, and skin itching over the whole body, all disappeared. The initial massive macroscopic hematuria became microscopic and infrequent, and other laboratory results also gradually returned to normal. Most of the cancer biomarkers, initially high such as CEA, CA199, CA724, CA125, came down rapidly, among which CA199 changed most radically. This patient has had progression-free survival of one year so far.Conclusion: These results demonstrate the potent inhibitory effects of SDG on PC and KC of this patient and provide promising novel therapeutics for refractory malignant tumors.","PeriodicalId":14337,"journal":{"name":"International Medical Case Reports Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10949998/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140174650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
