Limited Wedge Resection of a Duodenal Gist in a Patient with Intermittent Melena
Get PDFGastrointestinal Stromal Tumors account for 1% - 2% of all gastrointestinal (GI) tract tumors. Among GISTs, duodenal localization occurs in less than 5% and usually presents with upper GI bleeding. A 45-year-old man presented in the outpatient department with complaints of epigastric discomfort, intermittent melena and undocumented weight loss for the preceding 3 months. Initial upper GI endoscopy showed mild duodenitis and no other upper GI pathology. For unexplained symptoms, a CT Scan was performed which demonstrated a well-defined solid lesion along the second part of the duodenum. An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biopsy of a subepithelial lesion at D2 was performed. Immunohistochemistry findings were suggestive of GIST. Wedge resection of the duodenal mass was done.
Duodenal GIST should be considered as a differential in cases of GI bleeding when other differentials have been ruled out. Limited resection of duodenal GIST should be considered over pancreaticoduodenectomy, in case of small size tumors
Solitary Fibrous Tumor of Pleura Arising from Diaphragmatic Pleura: A Rare Disorder
Get PDFSolitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the pleura and lung are not very common primary tumors that originate from the sub-mesothelial tissue and usually show a benign clinical course. The diagnosis is made through immunohistochemical analysis. We have reviewed our experience to find a better and improved understanding of this disease

Iliopsoas Abscess in a 24-Months-Old Child: Management in Absence of an Identifiable Organism
Get PDFIliopsoas abscess presents with vague and variable symptoms and is less commonly encountered in a clinical setting. The most common causative agent is staphylococcus aureus. In our case, a 2-year-old boy presented with high-grade fever, difficulty in walking, and pain in the right leg near the hip joint. Psoas sign was positive but his blood cultures were negative and CT scan showed a necrotic mass with peripheral enhancement measuring 7.0x4.2x2.6 cm in all three dimensions in right Psoas muscle. Biopsy of the abscess was denied and the patient was managed conservatively with intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole. This case highlights the importance of clinical examination and then co-relating it radiologically and focuses on the importance of broad-spectrum antibiotics when necessary investigation (biopsy in our case) is denied
