Sebaceous gland tumors and internal malignancy in the context of Muir-Torre syndrome. A case report and review of the literature

BACKGROUND: The Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition and is currently considered a subtype of the more common hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome, in which multiple primary malignancies occur together with sebaceous gland tumors. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of a 62-year-old woman with three primary colorectal tumors, genital tumor, and sebaceous adenomas and present her family history of three generations. Our case represents the first case reported from Greece in the international literature. CONCLUSION: Recognition of the syndrome in patients with sebaceous gland tumors should facilitate early detection of subsequent malignancies if the patient is entered into appropriate screening programs

A novel technique for the treatment of post operative retro-rectal haematoma: two case reports

Rectal bleeding following any form of rectal surgery is a well recognised complication 1, 2, 3 & 4. However retro-rectal bleeding and tracking which then presents as rectal bleeding has not been reported in the literature. We describe a novel way of dealing with this technically difficult post-operative complication

Bilateral True Isolated Superficial Femoral Artery Aneurysm: Report of a Case and Literature Review

AbstractWe report a case of an 85-year-old man with true isolated bilateral superficial femoral artery aneurysms. The aneurysm size was 6.2cm on the right and 4.8cm on the left. They were repaired with transfemoral endovascular placement of three excluder stent grafts on the right and two excluder stent grafts on the left. Both procedures were done under local anaesthesia
