Burkitt's lymphoma in the adult as an unusual cause of large bowel obstruction.

Bowel obstruction is an uncommon clinical presentation in Burkitt´s lymphoma, specially in adults. This type of lymphoma is classified within B-cell non-Hodgkin´s lymphomas, which is characterized by its aggressiveness and quickly tumoral growth. The clinical presentation related to the gastrointestinal tract is unusual, but it can be presented as intussusception, obstruction or ischemic perforation. Here we describe a case of Burkitt´s lymphoma with bowel obstruction as a clinical debut.

Pancreatic lipoma: diagnostic boom of a rare mesenchymal tumor.

Following the incidental finding of a tumor in a 58-year-old female, diagnosed as pancreatic lipoma, histologically confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), we made a review in our center between 2018 and 2020, with 14 cases diagnosed of pancreatic lipoma by computarized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Breast implant during orthotopic liver transplant to avoid hepatic outflow obstruction.

Donor-recipient size mismatch in liver transplantation is a recognized but uncommon situation. It can lead to a partial or complete obstruction of the inferior vena cava with subsequent hepatic outflow obstruction. Placement of a breast implant in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen during liver transplantation is a technically easy resource and can protect the liver graft from kinking or rotation.
