Fulltext Duodenal intussusception of Brunner's gland adenoma mimicking a pancreatic tumour

Limi L, Liew NC, Badrul RH, Faisal MJ, Daniel YP

Med J Malaysia, 2010 Dec;65(4):311-2.
PMID: 21901954

Brunner's gland adenoma is a rare benign tumour of the duodenum. It is usually asymptomatic but may occasionally present with gastrointestinal haemorrhage and obstruction. We report a 40-year old lady, presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding and was found to have prolapsed and intussuscepted Brunner's gland adenoma of the duodenum, which mimicked the appearance of a tumour in the head of pancreas.

A case report of primary hyperparathyroidism with severe bony involvement and nephrolithiasis

Chan SP, Hew FL, Jayaram G, Kumar G, Chang KW, Tay A

Ann Acad Med Singap, 2001 Jan;30(1):66-70.
PMID: 11242630

INTRODUCTION: Although the majority of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have a relatively asymptomatic benign disorder, there are patients who have a more aggressive disorder.
CLINICAL PICTURE: We report a case of primary hyperparathyroidism presenting during pregnancy complicated by antepartum haemorrhage and severe prematurity. The diagnosis was made postpartum, when her problems rapidly progressed to result in severe neuromuscular weakness, bilateral pathological hip fractures as well as nephrolithiasis.
TREATMENT: Surgical parathyroidectomy was performed. The underlying lesion was a large solitary parathyroid adenoma with cystic elements.
CONCLUSION: Primary hyperparathyroidism is not an innocuous disease and can result in severe morbidity if left untreated.

Fulltext Surgical access to parapharyngeal space tumours--the Manipal experience

Hazarika P, Dipak RN, Parul P, Kailesh P

Med J Malaysia, 2004 Aug;59(3):323-9.
PMID: 15727377

A few series of parapharyngeal space tumours have been reported earlier but recently not many series have been published in English literature. It is rare for any medical center, let alone an individual surgeon, to develop sufficient experience in evaluating these tumours. We present our experience in the treatment of 41 cases of parapharyngeal tumours from January 1992 to December 2001. FNAC, ultrasound and CT scan of the presenting mass was done in most of the patients as the main pre-operative work-up. The strategic location and extension of the tumour may occasionally alter the surgical approach for tumour excision.
