“…He was volume resuscitated with normal saline and 4 units of packed red blood cells, and underwent prompt esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which revealed a nonbleeding cratered duodenal ulcer with adherent clot (Forrest 2b) (Figure 1 ), causing duodenal obstruction, not amenable to intervention including optimal prophylactic injection therapy. 3 The stomach and esophagus, both grossly normal, were biopsied. Hemostatic clips were placed proximal to the ulcer in the duodenal bulb for location marking in case of future intervention.…”

The differential for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is broad, ranging from peptic ulcers and Helicobacter pylori infection to variceal hemorrhage and neoplasms. The rarer causes of GI bleeds are frequently overlooked and as such can ultimately be more dangerous. Extramedullary multiple myeloma, an atypical plasma cell dyscrasia arising outside of the bone marrow, involves the GI tract in ,5% of cases and often presents with nonspecific symptoms. We describe a rare case of such GI involvement of a plasma cell tumor, with subsequent transmural duodenal ulceration involving the gastroduodenal artery, ultimately resulting in a fatal GI bleed.

Objective: Mastalgia or breast pain is one of the most vital complaints among women patients. This study aims to determine the prevalence of mastalgia and the properties of pain, elucidate the associated factors, particularly modifiable ones, and establish a treatment of standard. Methods: The study evaluated 685 female patients admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of mastalgia in the period between 2017 and 2019. Results: Mean age of the patients was 35.20 ±10.28 (13–86). The pain was experienced in the right breast of 123 (17.9%) patients, in the left breast of 141 (20.6%) patients, and in both breasts of 422 (61.5%) patients. The mean pain value was found to be 5.29. The study population comprised 61 (8.9%) patients in the menopause state, whereas 624 (91.1%) patients were not in menopause. The pain was noncyclic in 519 (75.8%) patients, while cyclic for 166 (24.2%) patients. For treatment, a restricted diet in terms of coffee, salt, and fat as well as wearing supportive bra were recommended for 456 (66.5%) patients, while 181 patients with pain VAS (Visual Analog Scale) score of 8 and above was initiated with vitex agnus-castus. No patient was initiated with local or systemic analgesics and LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) analogs. Conclusion: The prevention and management of mastalgia reflected that restricted salt intake, regulated diet, and the use of properly fitted bras could significantly improve the quality of life. Appropriate radiological imaging could eliminate patients’ concerns regarding developing cancer. Keywords: Breast cancer, Diet, Mastalgia, Risk factor
