ABSTRACT
Introduction: Gastrointestinal tract is a uncommon site forlipomas. Intestinal lipomas are most common benign nonepithelial intestinal tumors, found incidentally. Symptomaticdiffuse submucosal intestinal lipomatosis is a rare entity. Here,we present a rare case of intestinal submucosal lipomatosis,which presented as intestinal obstruction.Case report: On laparotomy, intussusception of a segment ofgut was identified and sent for histopathological examination.On gross examination, intussusception of a part of gutsegment with distally gangrenous gut segment was identified.On cutting open, multiple soft, yellowish polypoidal growthsidentified. On histopathology, multiple submucosal lipomaswere identified.Conclusion: Diffuse intestinal lipomatosis is a rare conditionand can lead to intestinal obstruction and should be kept as adifferential diagnosis in a case of intussusceptions.
ABSTRACT
Aspergillus is a common cause of invasive mycosis, especially in immunocompromised individuals. We report the case of a 62-year-old male who was hospitalized after suffering severe physical injuries and died after few weeks of hospitalization. A medicolegal autopsy was conducted, and various organs were sent for histopathological examination of which heart, lungs, and kidneys showed extensive involvement by aspergillus. Thus, a diagnosis of disseminated invasive aspergillosis was made on autopsy, which itself is a rare entity. This case report illustrates a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit as a possible risk factor for the development of disseminated aspergillosis.
