Avulsion fracture of an ossified pes anserinus tendon post-lateral patellar dislocation.

The pes anserinus is a common tendon comprising the tendinous insertions of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles. It inserts at the anteromedial aspect of the tibia and plays a significant role in stabilization of the medial side of the knee joint. The current article presents a case with recurrent lateral patellar dislocations causing chronic stress along the medial knee stabilizers and consecutive enthesophyte formation at the insertion of the pes anserinus tendon that showed a transverse fracture upon a subsequent incident of traumatic lateral patellar dislocation. Avulsion injuries of the pes anserinus tendon are rarely encountered, and to our knowledge, association with recurrent lateral patellar dislocations has not been described before.

Chronic gastritis in a gastric diverticulum misdiagnosed as a left adrenal mass.

Gastric diverticula are rare and usually asymptomatic. They are most frequently located on the posterior wall of the stomach. Many of them were reported as adrenal masses. Here, we present a 48-year-old male with a gastric fundus diverticulum that was misdiagnosed as a left adrenal mass on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Laparoscopic resection of the diverticulum was successfully performed, and histopathological examination revealed a true gastric diverticulum with moderate chronic gastritis. Although most cases of gastric diverticula are asymptomatic, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of chronic gastritis that developed in a gastric diverticulum.

Isolated multiple bilateral thyroid metastases from prostatic adenocarcinoma: case report and literature review.

Solitary metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma to thyroid gland is very rare and usually associated with other distal metastasis. This report describes for the first time isolated multiple bilateral thyroid metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma. A 67-year-old man who is known as a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma was admitted to a hospital as a case of a multinodular goiter on the basis of clinical and CT scan findings. Total thyroidectomy was performed and histopathology result showed adenomatous goiter containing bilateral metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma. This is the first report of isolated multiple bilateral thyroid gland metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma without other distal metastasis. Such lesions are very rare and can be misdiagnosed, so high index of suspicion for thyroid metastasis should be always maintained in all oncology patients with isolated thyroid mass because early resection and thyroidectomy will change the prognosis for patient.
