Introduction: While glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become increasingly prescribed, use is often inhibited by the gastrointestinal adverse effects that patients must endure. Nausea, vomiting, and cholelithiasis are most commonly associated with use, with little to no data or labeling reflecting risk of appendicitis or associated symptoms. Appendicitis etiology is theorized to develop secondary to obstruction of the vermiform via infection or fecalith causing an increase in intraluminal pressure...

Peritoneal tuberculosis (TB) is known to mimic advanced ovarian cancer. In this case report, we describe a unique case of ovarian cancer (endometrioid carcinoma grade 3) at the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IC1 with pulmonary and peritoneal TB, which was suspected preoperatively to be a coexistence of advanced ovarian cancer and pulmonary TB. A 68-year-old woman presented with a prominent abdominal mass and fever. Laboratory investigations, imaging, and sputum analysis indicated a probable diagnosis of ovarian cancer at FIGO stage IIIC, characterized by peritoneal dissemination and para-aortic lymph node metastasis, which was further complicated by coexisting pulmonary TB...

Intracranial epidermoid cysts, also referred to as intracranial primary cholesteatomas, are uncommon, benign tumors characterized by slow, linear growth patterns akin to normal epidermal tissue. They typically become symptomatic around age 43, with a slight female predominance, and are most frequently located in the cerebellopontine angle. This summary presents the case of a 62-year-old woman suffering from paroxysmal excruciating pain of the right hemiface, indicative of trigeminal neuralgia, linked to an intracranial epidermoid cyst in the cerebellopontine angle...

A rare congenital hepatobiliary disorder called Caroli's disease is characterized by multifocal segmental dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts that can affect the entire liver or only specific areas of it. Coexisting conditions with Caroli's disease include autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). ADPKD results in the development of cysts, which are tiny fluid-filled sacs, in the kidneys. Caroli's disease is considered a rare disorder, affecting a small number of individuals worldwide...

Lipoma of the corpus callosum, also known as pericallosal lipoma, is a rare congenital brain abnormality associated with corpus callosum dysgenesis or agenesis. Two morphological types are described: tubulonodular and curvilinear, with the latter being mostly asymptomatic. We present the case of a 30-year-old woman with epilepsy, whose magnetic resonance imaging revealed a "caterpillar sign" in the corpus callosum associated with a curvilinear pericallosal lipoma. The "caterpillar sign" in the corpus callosum showed low signal intensity on magnetization prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo, high signal on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and low on susceptibility-weighted imaging, possibly indicating abnormal blood vessels penetrating from the ventricle to the posterior callosal vein...

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare yet aggressive form of invasive ductal carcinoma, with a poor prognosis and decreased 5-year survival rates. Characteristic findings for IBC include rapid onset of breast edema, peau d'orange appearance, and involvement of the breast skin. Additionally, diagnosis is confirmed with a skin punch biopsy. With such nonspecific features, IBC can be mistaken for benign etiologies, causing delays in diagnosis and treatment. This patient is a 44-year-old woman presenting with left breast swelling while concurrently breastfeeding...
