Ruptured Duodenal GIST in a Young Female - A Rare Presentation and Comprehensive Review.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms primarily found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. While they typically occur in older adults, GISTs can manifest in individuals of any age. This publication paper presents a case study of a rare occurrence: a spontaneously ruptured duodenal GIST in a young female. Through an in-depth review of the literature, we aim to provide insights into the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, management strategies, and long-term outcomes associated with this unique clinical scenario.

RésuméLes tumeurs stromales gastro-intestinales (GIST) sont des néoplasmes mésenchymateux peu communs principalement trouvés dans le tractus gastro-intestinal (GI). Bien qu'elles surviennent généralement chez les adultes plus âgés, les GIST peuvent se manifester chez des individus de tout âge. Cet article présente une étude de cas d'une occurrence rare: une GIST duodénale spontanément rompue chez une jeune femme. À travers une revue approfondie de la littérature, nous visons à fournir des éclairages sur la présentation clinique, les défis diagnostiques, les stratégies de prise en charge et les résultats à long terme associés à ce scénario clinique unique.

Multiple Swellings Over the Scrotum: Epidermal Inclusion Cysts.

Epidermal inclusion cysts are lesions that are benign and commonly occur on the regions of the scalp, face, neck, and scrotum. It is usually a painless condition but may become painful if it gets infected. A rupture of the cyst wall can lead to an intensely painful inflammatory reaction, and it is a common presentation to a surgeon. In this case, the patient reported multiple painless swellings on the scrotum, which were excised under spinal anesthesia. It was initially thought to be trichilemmal cysts, but on histopathological examination (HPE), it was diagnosed as epidermal inclusion cysts.
