canadensis (G7) were found more in the liver of sheep and pigs, respectively than in other organs, whereas E. ortleppi and E. canadensis G6 were significantly higher in the lung of cattle and camels, respectively. While the mechanism of organ tropism in Echinococcus and whether it is species/genotype-dependent, host-dependent, or a combination of both is still a subject of future investigations, further and detailed investigation could provide significant information that may be applicable in the diagnosis and treatment of organ-specific cystic echinococcosis or designing host or genotype-specific interventions.
The conventional near-infrared fluorescence clip (NIRFC) ZEOCLIP FS®, was difficult to observe using the Firefly on da Vinci. We improved the ZEOCLIP FS® and produced the da Vinci compatible NIRFC. In this report, we describe a robot-assisted wedge resection of a submucosal tumour (SMT) of the stomach using the da Vinci compatible NIRFC.
Surgery was performed for an enlarging SMT (from 18 to 22mm with an intragastric growth type). Through endoscopy, four da Vinci-compatible NIRFCs were placed at the tumour edge two days prior to the surgery. The location of the NIRFC was confirmed when observed with the Firefly. The distal NIRFC site was incised with a monopolar shear blade to identify the NIRFCs and tumour base. The open area was sutured in two layers using a 3-0 V-Loc. The operation time was 83min, and the amount of blood loss was 2g. There were no complications or clip dropout.
This method could be performed without intraoperative endoscopist.
In this case, we were able to observe the position of the da Vinci-compatible NIRFC with Firefly on da Vinci. This technique may be an option as a simple procedure to minimize the resection area of the stomach.

Spondylitis tuberculosis is a spinal infection characterized by bone destruction, fracture, abscess, and resulting in deformity (kyphosis and gibbus formation). Therefore, early diagnosis and management of spondylitis tuberculosis have special importance in preventing complications. Surgery is reserved for progressive deformity or where the neurological deficit is not improved by anti-tubercular treatment. The spine can be approached anteriorly or posteriorly in a minimally invasive way. We reviewed the evaluation of clinical outcome, laboratory findings, and radiological post-minimal invasive endoscopic debridement in spinal tuberculosis with psoas abscess.
We collected data from two patients, a 24years-old female and 27years-old male, who was diagnosed with spondylitis tuberculosis with psoas abscess based on the history, physical, and supportive examination. Patients were given chemotherapy antituberculosis agents and performed percutaneous endoscopic debridement. The outcome was measured by clinical sression. Patients had immediate pain relief and reduced disability in treating spinal tuberculosis after percutaneous endoscopic debridement.
Colonic tuberculosis may masquerade colonic carcinoma. Also, intestinal tuberculosis may mimic colonic carcinoma, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc. CASE PRESENTATION A 40years female was diagnosed with cervical carcinoma FIGO Stage IIB underwent chemo-radiotherapy. She was symptom-free for a few months and then she developed right-sided abdominal pain and abdominal fullness for 4months. She underwent a colonoscopy that showed ulcerative growth and friable tissue in hepatic flexure of colon and histopathology and immunohistochemistry findings suggested non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or poorly differentiated carcinoma. Then right standard hemicolectomy was performed and histopathology showed tuberculosis. The patient received medications for tuberculosis and the patient improved.
Preoperatively suspected colonic carcinoma in developing countries (where the prevalence of tuberculosis is high) may sometimes come out as colonic tuberculosis in histopathology. The biopsy sample taken from colonoscopy was examinery is the treatment of choice.
Isolated fallopian tube torsion is a rare cause of acute lower abdominal pain in females. A history of hemosalpinx, hydrosalpinx, or ovarian or paraovarian cysts might all be risk factors. Diagnosis is frequently delayed until it's too late to salvage the tube.
A 32-year-old lady with no prior medical and surgical history presented to our emergency department with a four days history of severe right lower abdomen pain and tenderness accompanied by nausea. Clinically, she was feverish, with elevated C reactive protein levels, negative serum Beta HCG, and normal urine analysis. Computed tomography demonstrated a 5x3cm collection in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed upon exploration a Twice-fold twisted ischemic right fallopian tube with hydrosalpinx was found and Salpingectomy was performed.
Torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon cause of acute lower abdominal pain in women. The exact process that causes isolated tubal torsion is unknown. Early diagnostic laparoscopy and surgical intervention are essential in a nulliparous young woman.

Angiolipoma is a rare and benign variant of lipoma that usually occurs as single or multiple entities. The aim of this study is to present a case of multiple angiolipoma located in the hand, back, and abdomen.
A 38-year-old male presented with multiple swellings in his body for a 6-year duration. Physical examination revealed 3 painless masses in the hands, back, and abdomen. Laboratory findings were normal and ultrasound (US) examination suggested multiple body lipoma. The patient was managed with total excision and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign angiolipoma. No reoccurrence was observed upon follow-up.
Angiolipoma mainly composed of a mixture of proliferating blood vessels and mature adipose tissues, with a degree of vascularity much higher than that of a normal lipoma. It has a slow growing nature that it can be presented as single or multiple neoplasia. It is reported to be more common in the young adult population with male predominance.
Angiolipoma is a rare variant of lipoma. It rarely occurs in the hands, especially as a painless mass. Histopathology is required for definitive diagnosis.

Solitary fibrous tumor of pleura (SFTP) is a rare condition. Clinical symptoms and non-specific radiological features in both tumors make preoperative diagnosis difficult to establish.
A Javanese 47-year-old female complained of chest pain and shortness of breath which an X-ray and CT-Scan of the thorax showed giant cell metastases in the lung. Signs and symptoms indicate pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP) and the patient underwent thoracic surgery which was first performed with angiographic embolization. Furthermore, an anatomical pathology analysis was performed with suspected SFTP, supported by the IHC test, which found CD34 (+), EMA (-), and S100 (-). Thoracic surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is recommended in SFTP patients.
The SFTP and PSP have non-specific clinical symptoms and radiological features. Anatomic pathology and IHC test are definitive diagnostic tools from SFTP and PSP. Establishing a preoperative diagnosis of SFTP and PSP is quite difficult. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for both.
The comparison of SFTP and PSP can be seen results of the anatomical pathology analysis and IHC test.

Esophageal TB is a relatively uncommon condition. Mostly, the esophagus can be affected by tuberculosis through direct spread or from mediastinal nodes (rarely from the lungs or bloodstream). The most common symptom is dysphagia, and the diagnosis is confirmed by histology. If left untreated, esophageal tuberculosis can result in bleeding, perforation, fistula formation, aspiration pneumonia, lethal hematemesis, traction diverticula, and esophageal strictures.
This is a rare case report of an esophageal fistula caused by tuberculosis in a patient presenting with a cough on eating and weight loss. The patient was subjected to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which revealed a cervical esophagus fistula 20cm from the upper central incisors. Histopathology revealed inflammatory lesions with epithelioid granulomas (granulomatous disease). A mycobacterium sputum examination was performed; the smear was negative. The patient was managed conservatively with anti-tuberculosis treatment (ATT). A follow-up endoscopy after two months revealed that the fistula was closed and clinically improved.
The quick clearance of contaminated sputum by coordinated peristalsis, paired with upright posture and an intact lower esophageal sphincter, limits the organism's exposure to the esophagus.
Despite the disease's rarity, if not delayed, it can be efficiently managed with ATT to avoid major complications like esophageal perforation, which necessitates surgery.

During the current Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, significant COVID-19 disease-reducing developments have been made, culminating in the COVID-19 vaccines. However, COVID-19 vaccines may complicate oncological staging and follow-up oncological disease course since they may induce the enlargement of lymph nodes. Consequently, this uncertainty may lead to increased distress.
This case series describes seven patients diagnosed with melanoma or breast cancer in whom lymphadenopathy was observed on oncology imaging after COVID-19 vaccination. Four of these patients underwent additional diagnostic testing, all without malignant cells on pathological examination or suspected metastasis on imaging. The remaining patients were re-evaluated, and the lymphadenopathy was interpreted as an adverse outcome of the recent COVID-19 vaccination. In addition, four out of seven patients were vaccinated in the ipsilateral arm relative to the tumor. Abnormal lymph nodes could be observed up to sixty-nine days after COVID-19 vaccination.
These findings indicate that a COVID-19 vaccination may result in possible false-positive oncological imaging findings in melanoma and breast cancer patients. Moreover, it is advised to administer the vaccine in the contralateral arm of the primary tumor, suspected breast abnormalities, or after the oncologic imaging in melanoma and breast cancer patients.
