These tumors are typically large at presentation due to their slow growth and the nonspecific nature of symptoms, which often leads to delayed diagnosis. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old male presented with intermittent abdominal pain and a palpable lump in the right paraumbilical region. Ultrasonography revealed a large retroperitoneal mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology confirmed the diagnosis of poorly differentiated malignant tumor, for which he was evaluated with CT-angiogram of the abdomen and FDG PET-CT scans, which showed a large retroperitoneal mass. The patient, then, had a surgical resection of the mass, with postoperative histopathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis of primary retroperitoneal seminoma, and then underwent three cycles of BEP chemotherapy. Scrotal ultrasonography showed no testicular abnormalities, obviating the need for orchiectomy. FDG PET showed a complete response following treatment completion. Postoperative management included routine monitoring of tumor markers and follow-up imaging, which showed a complete response. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of primary retroperitoneal seminoma. A multidisciplinary approach, including accurate histopathological diagnosis and a combination of chemotherapy and surgery, is essential for optimal management. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies significantly improve patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9600,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Surgery","volume":"2024 ","pages":"4376859"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11669426/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142892305","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}

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of brain tumors, meningiomas are categorized into Grade 1 (benign meningioma; 80%), Grade 2 (atypical meningioma; 4%-15%), and Grade 3 (anaplastic meningiomas; 1%-3%). Grade 2 meningioma has a higher recurrence rate, ranging from 29%-52%. However, the transformation from atypical meningioma into benign meningioma is poorly understood. The present article describes a patient with Grade 2 meningioma that transformed into a benign subtype. Case presentation: A 51-year-old female with a history of seizures, presented with left-sided progressive weakness. Radiological imaging revealed a large extra-axial parasagittal lesion measuring 5 cm × 5 cm × 4.8 cm, suggestive of meningioma. The patient underwent subtotal resection of the lesion. Histologically, the tumor was in favor of Grade 2 meningioma. Radiological follow-up 8 years postoperatively revealed a recurrent meningioma. The patient underwent right-sided craniotomy and resection of the parasagittal meningioma. The histopathological features were suggestive of a Grade 1 meningioma. Conclusion: The transformation from atypical to benign meningiomas is rarely reported and the mechanism remains unclear. The present case provides insights into the natural history of this entity, describes possible etiologies, and lists the surgical management with an emphasis on preoperative radiological imaging and histopathological investigations.","PeriodicalId":9600,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Surgery","volume":"2024 ","pages":"4118914"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11625495/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142794510","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}

In children, caecal volvulus can be associated with a variety of predisposing factors such as chronic constipation, intestinal malrotation, or neurological disease. Case Representation: We present a rare case of caecal volvulus, internal hernia, and an intestinal rotational abnormality in a previously healthy 8-year-old boy. The patient presented with a history of abdominal pain and vomiting for 3 days and was admitted to the hospital in a severe septic shock. After the initial stabilisation with fluids and vasopressors, an emergency laparotomy was performed. A necrotic caecum volvulus, a transmesocolic hernia, and an abnormal rotation of the small intestine were diagnosed. The necrotic bowel segment was resected in a right-sided hemicolectomy, after which a resection distal to medial colic artery was cut-off to achieve normal anatomy. The patient was discharged on the 12th postoperative day in good health and has since returned to normal active life without any health issues within the follow-up of 5 months. Conclusions: Caecal volvulus and internal hernia can lead to a life-threatening condition requiring immediate surgical treatment. Rare causes of abdominal pain in children should be kept in mind when severe symptoms are present.","PeriodicalId":9600,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Surgery","volume":"2024 ","pages":"9951709"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11611422/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142766181","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}

Here we present a case of a 76-year-old female with chronic kidney disease and a malrotated right pelvic kidney who underwent PCNL for a 3.5 cm staghorn calculus. Postoperatively, she developed a rare complication of ascending colon perforation, requiring emergent surgical intervention including exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy. Colon perforation during PCNL is rare (0.3%-0.8%). Preoperative imaging, namely computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis, is crucial to identify anatomical variations and mitigate the risk of injury. Conservative management strategies have demonstrated success in similar cases, emphasizing the importance of prompt recognition and multidisciplinary management. This case contributes to the paucity of literature regarding this rare complication underscoring the necessity for detailed preoperative planning to avoid complications in PCNL, especially in patients with complex renal anatomy. Future research should focus on developing tailored guidelines for PCNL in patients with anatomical abnormalities to enhance procedural safety and optimize outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9600,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Surgery","volume":"2024 ","pages":"4475216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11581789/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142686233","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}

A computed tomography (CT) demonstrated left colonic thickening interpreted as partial obstruction, gross adhesions, and ischemia. At surgery, marked bowel ischemia from the distal transverse to proximal sigmoid colon was seen with extensive gross adhesions. Histopathology revealed a mesenteric mass chiefly composed of stellate-to-spindled myofibroblastic cells and fibrous adhesions, intermixed with lymphocytes, histiocytes, and plasma cells. The tumor was positive for desmin, smooth muscle actin, and keratin; tumor staging, grade, and postsurgical follow-up were not completed as the patient expired postoperatively.

The purpose of the study is to describe the case of a patient diagnosed with middle ear cholesteatoma treated with mastoidectomy of the CWD and mastoid obliteration with homologous freeze-dried corticocancellous bone particulate in the Cittadella Hospital Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) unit. The preoperative characteristics of the patients, the procurement and processing of bone allografts, the surgical technique, and postsurgical outcomes are described. No perioperative and postoperative complications were observed, and no rejection or foreign body reactions occurred. The patient then underwent a seriated follow-up. Audiometric tests showed an improvement in hearing levels. The volume of the neoexternal ear canal was 2.01 cm3. The case demonstrated clinical stability, substantial hearing recovery, and no need for specialist cleaning of the reformed external ear canal (EEC). The freeze-dried bone tissue allograft, in the technical way we used, appears to be a viable option in mastoid obliteration because homologous bone is not affected by material shortage, has fast assimilation, and ensures a useful radiological examination scan, at a low cost.","PeriodicalId":9600,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Surgery","volume":"2024 ","pages":"4874411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11540884/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142603404","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}

Type II in D'Alonzo's classification is still the most common and should be considered unstable unless proven otherwise. Thus, surgical stabilization has received significant attention. Although posterior displacement is common in type II OF, complete displacement is extremely rare, and very few reports are available in the literature. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 60-year-old man with acute type II OF with complete posterior displacement and myelopathy. The patient was managed utilizing a posterior-only single approach for reduction and stabilization. Conclusion: Posterior displacement of type II OF has been traditionally managed with close reduction and anterior or posterior stabilization. Closed reduction in cases of complete posterior displacement carries a significant risk of neurologic deterioration. Anterior, combined, and posterior approaches have been taken for this condition. The posterior-only approach in experienced hands has the least mortality and morbidity with at least the same neurologic and fusion outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9600,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Surgery","volume":"2024 ","pages":"8473999"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11527521/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142557256","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}
