Abdominal wall scar endometriosis. A report of two cases with emphasis on diagnostic strategiesPrice: €10,00 |
|
| We report two cases of young women with intermittent
abdominal wall pain, and discuss the relevance of
imaging techniques and the treatment of this disorder.
We present two patients, both young women (reproductive
age), who were referred to a gastro-enterologist
because of pain “in the abdomen”. Since the pain was
cyclic, they were first seen by their gynaecologist, who
in both cases excluded “pain of gynaecological origin”.
Both patients complained of a shooting, burning pain in
the left (patient A) and right lower quadrant (patient B).
The pain worsened after exercise. On clinical examination
of the abdomen, we palpated some nodules in the
abdominal wall of patient A, however in patient B, we
did not palpate a mass. In our opinion this could be due
to the narrow circumscribed palpatory tenderness which
elicited rectus abdominis muscle contraction during palpation.
Carnett’s test (i.e. elevation of both feet with
extended legs) provoked spontaneous and palpatory pain
[left (A) and right (B) lower quadrant]. [Product Details...] |

Hepatocellular carcinoma in an adult patient with type IV glycogen storage diseasePrice: €10,00 |
|
| Type IV glycogen storage disease (type IV GSD), also
known as Andersen disease or amylopectinosis, is a rare
autosomal-recessive disorder caused by deficiency of
the glycogen branching enzyme (1). The classic form is
characterized by progressive hepatic fibrosis resulting in
hepatosplenomegaly and failure to thrive and death by
the age of 5 years. Few patients do not develop hepatic
failure and survive to adulthood (2). Here we report a
case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a young adult
with GSD IV and chronic liver disease following a 20
year period with no apparent disease progression. [Product Details...] |
