Jejunojejunal intussusceptions are not common in adults and unlike in children, a lead point is usually found. The clinical presentation in adults tends to be more chronic or intermittent and include abdominal pain, obstructive symptoms, gastrointestinal bleeding or palpable mass. These unspecific symptoms often lead to a late diagnosis. The clinical picture is subtle and diagnosis is therefore elusive. We report a case of jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in a 50 year old female.
An epidermoid cyst is a benign cyst usually found on the skin, developing out of ectodermal tissue. These are relatively uncommon benign cysts or tumors to arise over the surface of the brain. They are mostly intra dural and few percentages are located in the diploic space. We are reporting a case of 51 years old lady presenting with a swelling over forehead which was diagnosed to be an intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the frontal bone with an intracranial extension which is an unusual presentation causing clinical dilemma. Radiological findings led to a correct diagnosis and with complete removal patient is doing well. [Int J Res Med Sci 2013; 1(1.000): 43-46
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
