Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma to the parotid gland: Case report and review of the literature
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published over 8 years ago
- Discuss
Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most frequent primary hepatic tumor, metastasizes in more than 50% of cases. However, parotid gland metastatic HCCs are very uncommon. We report a patient in whom the finding of a left parotid mass revealed metastatic HCC.

Abdominoplasty and thoraco-epigastric flaps for large anterior trunk defects after dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans wide resection: Two illustrative cases
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published about 8 years ago
- Discuss
Excision of large dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in the anterior aspect of the trunk often results in large surgical defects that frequently dictate the need for microsurgical reconstruction. However, this option is not always available.

Traumatic avulsion of tibialis anterior following an industrial accident: A case report
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published over 5 years ago
- Discuss
Rupture of the tibialis anterior tendon is uncommon and can occur spontaneously or following trauma. If suspected, it should be diagnosed promptly, enabling early surgical management and good restoration of function.

A delayed foreskin-sparing approach to the management of penile fractures in uncircumcised Jamaican men
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published over 5 years ago
- Discuss
The traditional surgical approach to penile fracture is to perform a circumferential subcoronal degloving incision emergently to repair the injury. This approach necessitates circumcision to avoid foreskin complications. We present four men who had a delayed foreskin-sparing approach and discuss its advantages.

Torsion of huge wandering accessory spleen. Case report and review of literature
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
Accessory spleens are found in 10-15% of the population, and are even more prevalent in patients with hematological disorders (Rudowski, 1985). It infrequently may become symptomatic due to torsion, spontaneous rupture or hemorrhage which may lead to death. Torsion of an accessory spleen is extremely rare, and requires prompt medical attention [2] (Coote et al., 1999).

Epidermoid cyst of the spleen, a case report
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published almost 4 years ago
- Discuss
Splenic tumors are rare and are either primary or secondary, benign or malignant. Most have none to minimal symptomatology and are found incidentally. Splenic cysts can be infectious, congenital, or traumatic. Epidermoid cysts and parasitic cysts are examples of primary cysts and usually have a classic presentation on imaging. Despite advanced imaging modalities and patient’s clinical presentation, it can be difficult to diagnose an epidermoid cyst without histological examination. The purpose of this paper is to discuss typical findings of primary splenic cysts on imaging, but how they may differ in appearance.

- Published almost 5 years ago
- Discuss
This case report is intended to inform clinicians, endoscopists, policy makers and industry of our experience in the management of a rare case of mobile phone ingestion.

Pheochromocytoma-related cardiomyopathy presenting as broken heart syndrome: Case report and literature review
- OPEN
- International journal of surgery case reports
- Published about 2 years ago
- Discuss
Pheochromocytoma are neuroendocrine tumors that arise from sympathetic chromaffin cells within the adrenal medulla. They principally secrete catecholamines, potentially causing life-threatening cardiovascular complications. A myriad of symptomatology and clinical findings are associated with pheochromocytoma, including a catecholamine-induced dilated cardiomyopathy.
