Uterine Carcinosarcoma in a Young Female: Case Report and Literature Review.

Uterine carcinosarcoma (USC) is a rare, aggressive primary neoplasm of the Uterus that represents less than 5% of all uterine malignancies. It usually affects older females in their seventh decade. USC disproportionally affects black women more and it has a worse prognosis than other endometrial carcinomas. We present a case of uterine carcinosarcoma in a young Caucasian female who presented with vague symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and severe iron deficiency anemia.

A Sporadic Case of Disseminated Fusobacterium Causing Pylephlebitis and Intracranial and Hepatic Abscesses in a Healthy Young Patient.

Fusobacterium species is known for being a causative agent for Lemierre's syndrome, which is characterized by thrombophlebitis of the jugular vein. However, Fusobacterium species causing Lemierre's variant gastrointestinal syndrome has only been reported in case reports. We present a case of Fusobacterium causing hepatic vein pylephlebitis, multiple brain abscesses, and hepatic abscess. To the best of our knowledge, there have only been four other case reports of Fusobacterium causing hepatic abscesses with associated septic pylephlebitis in the literature.
