    Abstract Liposarcoma is the most prevalent malignant soft tissue tumor and is primarily found in extremities and retroperitoneum, but its occurrence within abdominal viscera is rare. Most of these cases have been reported in the esophagus and stomach. Among liposarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract, primary duodenal liposarcomas are exceptionally rare, with only five documented cases in the literature. We describe a case of a 66-year-old female presenting with syncope, melena, and anemia. Computed tomography (CT) showed soft tissue mass involving the superior wall of the duodenum and hypo-enhancing hepatic mass. An endoscopy was performed, which revealed a duodenal mass causing gastric outlet obstruction and significant bleeding. Therefore, laparotomy was performed with extensive lysis of adhesions and gastrojejunostomy.

    Abstract Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is a unique clinical condition that can manifest in different anatomic locations. In the gastrointestinal tract, it is typically seen in the stomach but is less commonly found in other sites. There have been a few cases in the literature in which primary MALT lymphoma is found in the rectum. We describe a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with rectal pain and bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a rectal mass, which was excised with a trans-anal approach. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen was significant for MALT lymphoma. Therefore, the patient underwent radiation therapy followed by repeat colonoscopies to monitor disease recurrence.

    Abstract Introduction: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a medical condition commonly seen in clinical practice due to variable etiologies and a multitude of presentations. The patients can present with hematemesis, melena, or hematochezia in case of severe bleeding. The initial evaluation should involve assessing the hemodynamic status with adequate resuscitation followed by diagnostic tests to identify the source and potentially treat it. Dieulafoy's lesion, sometimes referred to as Dieulafoy's disease, is a rare cause of upper GI bleeding with no clear risk factors, which makes it a diagnostic conundrum. Here we describe an unusual case of Dieulafoy's lesion developing following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement.
    Case presentation: We describe a case of a 70-year-old female patient with a past medical history of hyperlipidemia, well-controlled hypertension, and an ischemic cerebrovascular accident, which caused neurologic dysphagia and placement of a PEG tube 3 weeks prior. She presented to the emergency department due to melena, with hypotension of 90/50 mmHg, tachycardia of 126 beats/minute, and hemoglobin of 5.6 g/dl. An endoscopy revealed a Dieulafoy's lesion on the lesser curvature of the stomach just across the PEG tube, which was managed with epinephrine and hemoclips.
    Conclusion: This is a rare case of Dieulafoy's lesion on the lesser curvature of the stomach, potentially developing due to PEG placement.

    Title translation Je možná prevence ovariálního karcinomu?
    Abstract Introduction: An ovarian cancer prevention program must encourage the application of factors associated with decreased risk that include both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Non-surgical preventive approaches include oral contraceptives, parity, multiparity and breastfeeding. In addition, approaches that decrease inflammation and oxidative stress such as regular exercise and a healthy diet are also important. Surgical approaches include tubal ligation, hysterectomy and prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
    Objective: To highlight protective approaches for the prevention of ovarian cancer in order to increase awareness among women of the general population and too find out whether or not these approaches are enough to prevent the disease.
    Design: Review article.
    Setting: Department of Chemical Pathology, NHLS, Tygerberg Hospital and Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.
    Methods: Literary sources related to the topic were used. Articles were selected primarily based on PubMed and Google searches.
    Conclusion: Ovarian cancer cannot be prevented completely, however the application of preventive approaches may decrease the risk significantly. Although, multiparity followed by long periods of breastfeeding may not seem feasible for most today women, it is the most pronounced preventive approach for women in the general population. Tubal ligation, hysterectomy also reduce the risk significantly. Opportunistic salpingectomy may provide better prevention for women at average risk, while women at high risk (BRCA mutation and family with history of ovarian cancer) are advised to undergo risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. Highlighting these approaches may increase women's awareness towards decreasing risk and decrease the incidence of ovarian cancer and potentially increase the five-year survival rate.

    Abstract The pneumoperitoneum refers to the presence of free air inside the abdominal cavity. This finding is usually a sequela of a gastrointestinal tract perforation. Still, in rare instances, it can present after cardiac surgery due to the proximity of the peritoneal cavity and pericardium, allowing air to enter the peritoneal cavity. Our patient was a 63-year-old female who initially presented for revision of the mitral valve replacement. A chest X-ray on postoperative day 13 revealed a 6.6 cm lucency under the right diaphragm suggestive of pneumoperitoneum. She was discharged after serial chest X-rays revealed a decrease in the size of the pneumoperitoneum. Twelve days later, our patient was readmitted, as another chest X-ray revealed that the size of the pneumoperitoneum was again increasing. An endoscopy was performed, but it did not reveal any lesions or etiology that would lead to a leak from the gastrointestinal tract. Finally, due to the benign nature of the pneumoperitoneum and the decrease in its size over the following days, we opted for conservative management, and she was discharged again. This case emphasizes the rare occurrence of benign pneumoperitoneum post-mitral valve surgery. While surgery may not always be required for asymptomatic cases, careful vigilance post-cardiac surgery remains crucial to detect potential abdominal complications promptly.

    Abstract Drug-induced liver failure is a relatively uncommon condition with a vast spectrum of clinical manifestations, and it is a leading cause of acute hepatic failure in the United States. We describe the first case of fulminant hepatic failure induced by chemotherapeutic drug daratumumab, a common FDA-approved agent. A 77-year-old male, with a history of multiple myeloma, was admitted for left lower extremity cellulitis, two weeks after receiving his first intravenous infusion of daratumumab. He developed fulminant hepatic failure in the hospital a few days later. Despite multiple doses of N-acetylcysteine, his liver function continued to decline, and he expired shortly after.
