It is very challenging to remove them laparoscopically, especially in emergency situations. Case Report: A 69-year-old female complained of right upper abdominal pain with vomiting for 1 day. Abdominal ultrasound indicated acute cholecystitis and a single, extremely large gallstone (9cm). Emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed successfully. Discussion: Gallstone over 5 cm in diameter is very rare. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) is very difficult for these cases, especially in the emergency situations. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can, however, be safely performed in experienced hands. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the biggest gallstones managed laparoscopically. Conclusion: Although the presence of giant gallstones poses technical challenges, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely performed in the experienced hands. However, if the anatomy cannot be delineated clearly, open surgery remains the safe option.

Abstract Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare disease with congenital malformation of both vascular and lymphatic vessels characterized by cystic dilation. It mostly occurs in cutaneous localizations like head, neck during childhood. Only few cases of hemolymphangioma occur in the small intestine, pancreas, esophagus have been reported. Hemolymphangioma is usually asymptomatic symptoms can be chronic anemia due to gastrointestinal bleeding. They constitute an unusual manifestation and there is a low incidence of this type of tumor. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 42-year-old male, with a 7- month history of chronic anemia requiring blood transfusion. Hemoglobin and Hematocrit count were low, therefore further examinations were required to rule out bleeding sources or other causes of anemia. Double balloon enteroscopy showed a 20×20 mm lesion taking up 30% of the circumference in the proximal jejunum, with raised whitish edges, the center with a vascular appearance, and bleeding spots. Histological sections of the lesion revealed in the lamina propria and submucosal layer of the jejunum several markedly dilated thin-walled lymphatic spaces lined with single layers of flat endothelial cells. The final pathologic diagnosis was submucosal hemolymphangioma. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of submucosal hemolymphangioma. Conclusion: The clinical symptoms of hemolymphangioma range from abdominal pain, anemia due to chronic blood loss in gastrointestinal tract, and obstruction to perforation. This case makes the point that hemolymphangioma should be concerned in the differential diagnosis of chronic anemia and other tumors in abdominal cavity with multiple diagnostic methods to confirm the presence of the condition.","PeriodicalId":72280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of clinical and medical case reports","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69343528","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}

Abstract Background Aortopulmonary window represents 0.2-0.3% of all congenital cardiac malformations. Usually, aortopulmonary window results in left-to-right shunt. Thus, progressive pulmonary hypertension and its consequences are associated with this anomaly. Commonly, it is located in the ascending aorta. Case Presentation We are describing a premature low-birth-weight infant who was diagnosed with large aortopulmonary window between the pulmonary artery bifurcation and the ascending aorta extending to the aortic arch. Surgery was successfully performed at the age of 4 weeks due to progressive congestive heart failure. This report highlights the importance of early surgical repair in patients with complex aortopulmonary window configuration.","PeriodicalId":72280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of clinical and medical case reports","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69343435","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}
