Gastric adenocarcinoma complicated by an intra‐abdominal abscess: A case report

Abstract Perforated gastric adenocarcinoma is a rare and challenging complication of gastric cancer, which can lead to intra‐abdominal abscesses and other complications. Management of perforated gastric adenocarcinoma with an intra‐abdominal abscess requires a multidisciplinary approach, including empiric antibiotic therapy and fluid resuscitation, partial gastrectomy with Roux‐en‐Y reconstruction, and image‐guided drainage. This case report highlights the complex and challenging nature of managing perforated gastric adenocarcinoma with intra‐abdominal abscesses. Prompt recognition and timely intervention are essential for favorable outcomes. Postoperative care and close follow‐up are also important

A massive malignant pleural effusion due to lung adenocarcinoma in an adult male: a case report

A significant right-sided pleural effusion was seen on chest radiography in a 53-year-old adult male who complained of bilateral chest pain, shortness of breath, and other additional symptoms. The bloody pleural effusion was removed with a chest tube, and cytopathology analysis showed moderate cellularity. After performing a high-resolution computed tomography, it was discovered that the affected lung had a significant pleural effusion on the right side as well as collapsed and consolidated lung parenchyma. Upon further examination, the right lower lobe wedge biopsy cytology smear revealed mucinous adenocarcinoma. Adults rarely experience a severe malignant pleural effusion brought on by lung adenocarcinoma, particularly in the absence of risk factors
