An alarming but self-limited case of isolatedlarge spontaneous liver hematoma in pregnancy

Spontaneous subcapsular liver hematoma is rare but potentially life-threatening complication of pregnancy usually associated with severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets). We present here a case of such a large spontaneous liver hematoma presenting in pregnancy, but without other known associated abnormalities, which has not been described before and it resolved on itself without any intervention.Pan African Medical Journal 2013; 14:3

Rare Location of Primary Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in the Rectum

Lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract are usually secondary. Primary rectal lymphoma is very rare by virtue of its location. We present here a 60 years old lady diagnosed as primary rectal diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma managed operatively. The optimum management of this entity is still much debated. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; primary; rectum
