Intestinal intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction; intestinal intussusception associated with endometriosis is very rare. The varied clinical presentations make the diagnosis demanding. In this article, we report the case of a young female patient with an intestinal obstruction due to intussusception. The successive histologic examination of the resected sample showed advanced endometriosis. This is a very rare entity with only a few similar cases reported in the literature.
Neurofibroma, a benign tumor of neural origin, indicates a possible differential diagnosis of adrenal masses
in rare cases. It can be solitary or associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. Neurofibroma in the visceral
compartment is an uncommon location and considered extremely rare. While it has a very low potential for
malignant transformation, accurate diagnosis is nonetheless essential to allow for adequate treatment. In this
article, we report a case of a patient with right-sided abdominal pain, fatigue and B symptoms (night sweats
and weight loss) as a result of an adrenal tumor measuring 12 cm. The tumor was highly suspicious for
malignancy, but the surgical resection revealed a benign neurofibroma. This case report describes a
diagnostic and treatment pathway for nonspecific adrenal lesions.
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.
