Non-functioning adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma – a case report
Adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion is an exceedingly rare occurrence. It can potentially be misinterpreted as hepatocellular carcinoma as they share radiologic and histologic similarities. We report an incidental subcapsular adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion tissue in segment 7 of the liver...
Mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous polyposis of colon: A case report.
Mantle cell lymphoma is a clinically aggressive lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Secondary involvement of gastrointestinal tract by this neoplasm is not uncommon but the primary involvement with distinguished multiple lymphomatous polyposis is unusual. We report a case of mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous...
Sudden Death from Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage Due to Necrotizing Pancreatitis
We report a case of sudden death from retroperitoneal hemorrhage in 73-year-old male due to rupture of peri-pancreatic artery in acute necrotizing pancreatitis. This appears to be the first case report of sudden death from retroperitoneal hemorrhage due to pancreatitis. The rupture site was not identifiable by gross-exami- nation but it was confirmed...
Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Gallbladder with Hepatic Metastases: A Case Report
A 68-year-old woman presented with hepatic metastasis. She had been performed cholecystectomy at a provincial hospital for symptomatic gallstones and was diagnosed as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder. The follow-up hepatic segmentectomy revealed a malignant small round tumor composed of nests of cells containing small nuclei...
CD43 Expression in Malignant Melanoma: A Diagnostic Pitfall
CD43 is commonly concerned as a marker for hematopoietic cells and, at times, a preferential T-cell marker. However, a number of non-hematologic cancers, mostly carcinoma, can express CD43. Recently, a case of malignant melanoma mimicking malignant lymphoma by cytomorphology was reported to express CD43 as well as melanoma markers but the other hematologic...
Incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell: a case report
Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by defects involving the supra-umbilical abdominal wall, lower sternum, anterior diaphragm, pericardium, and the intra-cardiac anomalies. The ensuing congenital heart disease is a source of major morbidity. The full spectrum of the syndrome is rare while incomplete expression of the...
