Littoral-cell angioma of the Spleen

Littoral- cell angioma [LCA] is a rare vascular tumor of the spleen. It was thought to be a benign, incidental lesion. However, many recent reports have described it to be a malignant lesion with congenital and immunologic associations. We report a case of LCA of the spleen, which has been infrequently communicated in the literature. A 41-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with a three-week history of weakness, weight loss, anorexia, and intermittent upper abdominal pain which improved slightly with antacid medication.Imaging studies, including computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], showed multiple lesions in the spleen. Laparoscopic splenectomy was performed

Intraabdominal abscess following inguinal hernioplasty

The intra-abdominal omental abscess following hernioplasty is a rare late post-operative complication. We report on a patient with intraabdominal abscess that developed after an inguinal hernia repair that utilized synthetic mesh. Infection resolved following thorough debridement, mesh removal, percutaneous drainage for abdominal abscesses and prolonged antimicrobial therapy

case of psoas abscess due to brucellosis

Skeletal system involvement is relatively a common complication of human brucellosis, however, muscular involvement and psoas abscess are less frequent. Psoas abscess is a rare clinical situation which if not considered the diagnosis is very difficult. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of abdomen are used for the diagnosis. Combination of antibiotic treatment and drainage are recommended in the management of psoas abscess. We report a case of 45 years old patient with severe hip pain with an abscess in the psoas muscle which was diagnosed with CT Scan. The patient was successfully treated with triple antibiotic regimen and percutaneous abscess drainage
