RESUMEN
Synovial sarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that is frequently misdiagnosed due to its slow growth and small size. This tumor presents as a nonspecific heterogeneous mass on cross-sectional imaging. Biopsy and histopathological assessments are required to differentiate synovial sarcoma from other sarcoma subtypes and to define the tumor grade. This article presents the case of a 17-year-old male patient with perineal synovial sarcoma.
RESUMEN
A congenital defect of the fetal intestinal rotation, known as malrotation of the gut, is most often identified as an acute intestinal occlusion in early infancy. Adults with this disease tend to be asymptomatic and extremely rare. We present a case of a 47-year-old woman with duodenal obstruction due to Ladd's band admitted with acute abdominal pain and vomiting.
RESUMEN
Intestinal hypoganglionosis in adults is quite uncommon, and hypoganglionosis of the ileum has not been documented to date. The majority of studies on this disorder are single case reports and brief case series. We describe a 30-year-old male patient with bowel obstruction and intestinal hypoganglionosis of the ileum and we review the literature on the disorder.
