    Abstract The incidence of leiomyosarcomas (LMS) has declined drastically. In fact, the introduction of immunohistochemistry (IHC) helped to differentiate LMS from other gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) by receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT)-mutation detection making gastric LMS a sporadic tumor recently. We report a 60-year-old female who presented with a three-week history of abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a large exophytic mass (22 ×19 ×15 cm) arising from the greater curvature of the stomach with multiple metastases. A biopsy was taken, and the initial histopathological examination was suggestive of GIST. However, further histopathological examination confirmed a high-grade gastric LMS. The patient refused any surgical intervention. Therefore, the patient had only received chemotherapy. On 9-month follow-up, the patient is still alive without disease progression. In conclusion, gastric LMS is a rare tumor. Due to the possibility of being misdiagnosed with other GIST, extensive pathological evaluation through specialized experts and IHC analysis is recommended.

    Abstract Cecal duplication cyst is a rare congenital malformation with a few reported adult cases. We present a 23-year-old man who presented with low-grade fever, constipation, and right lower quadrant pain for three days. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a cystic mass of 8.8x7.5x6 cm adjoining to the posterior wall of the cecum. The patient underwent abdominal laparotomy, and a right hemicolectomy was performed with resection of the duplication cyst. The histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of a non-communicating cecal duplication cyst. In conclusion, it is essential to include cecal duplication cyst in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen to guarantee the best treatment strategy.

    Abstract Hydatid cyst (HD) disease is a parasitic infection produced by cysts containing the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. It occurs worldwide, but its prevalence is higher in the rural communities of some developing countries like Yemen, where sheep and cattle raising constitute a crucial component of the agricultural industry. This zoonotic disease spreads due to close contact humans with sheep and dogs. The most involved organs with HC are the liver and lungs. However, other organs may also foster it, such as the spleen, with an incidence rate of between 0.5% and 6%. To the best of our knowledge, primary involvement of the spleen by HC is very rare, and a few cases with isolated spleen HC in children were reported. In this study, a ten-year-old boy with a huge primary splenic HC is reported with chief chief complaint of pain and non-tender bulging in his abdomen's left upper quadrant. A 20×16×18 cm splenic cystic mass was detected by ultrasonography (US) and confirmed by abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan without macroscopic involvement in other organs. Total splenectomy was carried out for hem. Pathological examinations revealed cystic hydatidosis. We describe this case of an isolated huge spleen HC, which was successfully treated with total splenectomy, focusing on the management and outcome of this disease.

    Abstract The symptoms of epididymo-orchitis (EO) are usually mild, but serious complications such as abscess and testicular necrosis can occur. There are a few cases of testicular necrosis secondary to EO to our knowledge. We present a case of a 60-year-old diabetic male patient who presented with left scrotal pain and fever in the last week. The scrotal ultrasonography (US) revealed increased flow of the left testicle in favour of the left EO. After seven days of antibiotic therapy, the patient´s condition worsened and developed into a scrotal abscess. The scrotal US showed scrotal abscess with the absence of left testicular arterial vascularity in favour of testicular necrosis. For that, a left orchiectomy was performed, and a histopathology report confirmed the diagnosis. In conclusion, testicular necrosis secondary to EO is a rare occurrence. When there is a suspicion of EO, medical therapy should be started as soon as possible to avoid significant complications.
