A Rare form of Urinary tract Infection in a Transplanted patient
A 62-years-old woman with end-stage renal disease received a 2nd kid-
ney transplant. The early post-transplant period was complicated with
lymphocele formation, causing bladder and ureteric compression, and
left iliac vein thrombosis. The lymphocele was initially treated with
local drainage and warfarin was also initiated for vein thrombosis.
After two months the patient presented with worsening kidney func-
tion and reformation of lymphocele.

Eosinophilic Myocarditis presenting with progressive Cardiac Cachexia
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare hematologic disorder
characterized by persistent overproduction of eosinophils causing
multiple organ damage (1). Cardiac involvement in HES is frequent,
found in approximately 50% of patients with HES, and is associated
with high morbidity and mortality rates (2-4). It is caused by eosino-
phil infiltration of the endomyocardium with subsequent tissue dam-
age and endomyocardial fibrosis (5).

BLUE NEVUS: A CASE REPORT
Oral melanocytic nevi (OMNs) are rare and benign melanocytic tu-
mors [2, 5, 7, 11]. Long associated with hamartomas, melanocytic nevi
are now considered as neoplasms [7].
OMNs can be congenital or acquired. They are classified histologically
as junctional, compound, intradermal, combined and blue. This classification is correlated with the location, morphology of the cells and
their distribution [2,7].

Digital phantoms for evaluating the dosimetric Impact of MRI Geometric inaccuracy in SBRT planning for liver cancer in the presence of motion
Recent advances in radiation therapy have placed Stereotactic body
radiation therapy (SBRT) as a superior therapeutic option for the
treatment of various tumors especially in the liver compared to other
RT techniques [1 - 5]. SBRT has shown a sustain improvement of local
control rates of tumors that are subject to motion.

An Unusual cause of Pelvic Pain: Giant Rectosigmoid Lithobezoar in a big Child
We report the case of a rectosigmoid lithobezoar. He was a 10 years
old boy, without any particular history, who was seen in consultation
for pelvic pain and difficulty to defecate. The examination revealed a
firm mass in the left iliac fossa and hypogastrium. On rectal examina-
tion, a firm, friable formation with telluric debris on the glove was
found.

Perspectives of Jaundice and Implications
Jaundice involves yellowing of the skin, whites of the eyes, and body
fluids. It is as a result of high level of bilirubin in the blood [1]. The
bilirubin simply is a yellow pigment that is generated from haem me-
tabolism, mainly from haemoglobin in red blood cells (RBCs). This
bilirubin is moved by the blood to the liver, where it is linked with a
sugar by an enzyme through conjugation so that it can be excreted in
bile, which later reach the small intestine. It has been reported that
jaundice may result from a problem at any point in the pathway es-
pecially increased breakdown of RBC, liver dysfunction or problems
with excretion of bile [2].

Diffuse biliary papillomatosis (IPNB) associated with IPNM : a case report
Biliary papillomatosis is a rare event. It concerns the biliary epithelium. The definition of the World Health Organization is the presence
of multifocal papillary lesions on intra hepatic and/or extrahepatic bile
ducts 1. There is a risk of malignant transformation. The papillary lesions are producing mucus conducting to biliary obstruction. Right
hypochondrium pain and jaundice are the more frequent symptoms.

Evaluation of predictive factors associated with prognosis of patients with Solitary Hepatocellular Carcinoma receiving transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs most often in underlying
chronic liver diseases including advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis, which
is usually related to chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus
(HCV) infection, prolonged alcohol use, or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.1.2 The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system can
be used to assess therapeutic options,3 such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), which is recommended as the treatment
modality for intermediate stage, or BCLC stage B, HCC.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Head and Neck: A Case Report
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is an acute severe infection of the superficial fascia that rapidly progresses, causing fascial necrosis with serious
damage to the surrounding skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and soft
tissue. It can be caused by polymicrobial bacteria including mixed aerobic and anaerobic species. The incidence rate of NF is approximately
3.5–4 cases per 100,000 people. Among them, cervical NF accounts for only approximately 5%.
