Wilkie's syndrome

Wilkie's syndrome is a rare variant of small intestinal obstruction resulting from compression of third part of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery. A girl 15 years of age, presented with postprandial abdominal pain, bilious vomiting and weight loss. Radiological imaging revealed vascular duodenal compression which was relieved by timely surgical intervention

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of breast

Neuroendocrine tumours [NETS] are rare tumours. The commonest site of occurrence is the gastrointestinal tract. NETS in the breast are even rarer, accounting for less than 0.1% of all breast cancers and less than 1% of all NETS. We are reporting a case of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast in a 60 years old female. Investigations were done to rule out any other associated lesion. Patient was treated by modified radical mastectomy and adjuvant chemo and radiotherapy

Combined persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, transverse testicular ectopia and mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome [PMDS], a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism, is characterized by the persistence of Mullerian duct structures [uterus, fallopian tubes and upper two-thirds of vagina] in otherwise normally-virilized males [Karyotype 46XY]. Patients suffering from PMDS present with cryptorchidism, inguinal hernia and infertility. Diagnosis is established when Mullerian duct structures are discovered either during ultrasonography for localization of undescended testis[s], during surgical exploration for cryptorchidism or herniorrhaphy [hernii uteri inguinalis]. Presence of both testes on one side of the scrotum is known as Transverse Testicular Ectopia [TTE]. Co-existence of PMDS and transverse testicular ectopia in a patient of mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome [Karyotype 46XY/47XXY] is a unique genetic association
