Fifty-seven years old man patient was admitted to our clinic with suprapubic tenderness and dysuria. Urinary ultrasonography showed the lesion that extending to the bladder lumen from the left wall. Urinary cytology was negative. Cystoscopy detected a tumor with smooth surface at the same localization. Computerized tomography (CT) showed 40x14 mm size solid contrast enhancing mass which is cont...

Septal perforation from intranasal cocaine abuse is well recognised. We present a case of progressive septal as well as palatal perforation. Progression from septal perforation to palatal perforation occurred after cessation of intranasal cocaine abuse. This patient had a weakly positive cytoplasmic antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (C-ANCA) but no histologic evidence of Wegener's Granuloma...

With the exception of accidental perforation during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, an iatrogenic gallbladder perforation is quite rare. Several cases have been reported as a complication of interventional or endoscopic procedures. Although a case of gallbladder and stomach perforation during gastric endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has been reported, we encountered a case of gallbladder perf...

Spontaneous duodenal perforation in two patients with primary systemic amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma is described. Bowel perforation is a rare and often fatal complication of amyloidosis, and duodenal perforation has not been previously described. Both patients survived the bowel perforation with conservative management. Bowel perforation should be suspected in patients with amyl...

We analyze two partial diierential equations that are posed on perforated domains. We provide a priori estimates, that do not depend on the size of the perforation: a sequence of solutions is uniformly bounded in a Sobolev space of regular functions. The rst homogeniza-tion problem concerns the Laplace-and the mean-curvature operator with Neumann boundary conditions. We derive uniform Lipschitz...

Following sterilization, intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the most widely used contraceptives in the world, especially in developing countries (1). Nowadays, IUDs are made of plastic, metal (mainly copper) and a small string. Uterine perforation is found in 1/350-1/2.500 inserts. It leads to the migration of the IUD, usually to adjacent organs to the uterus such as the rectum. Also there are rep...

Cholecystitis can result in complications if not completely treated. These include gallbladder empyema, perforation and cholecystoenteric fistula. We report the first incidence of cholecystitis resulting in a gallstone fistula with a gastric duplication cyst. A 71 year old patient presented with generalised peritonism that was worst in the epigastric area. Computer tomography (CT) revealed a pe...

Thick calcification is a rare presentation of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Penetration into gastric mucosa and pericolic soft tissue has never been reported. We report a case of gastric GIST with cystic degeneration and thick calcification in an 81-year old female, who presented with hematemesis and severe abdominal pain. Thick calcification of this tumor penetrating into pericolic so...

Gall bladder perforation is a potentially life-threatening condition. Spontaneous perforation is infrequent and rarely seen in the absence of gallstones but gall bladder perforation is an occasional complication of typhoid fever. If such perforations are not treated in time, mortality rates are very high. We report a case of gall bladder perforation complicating typhoid fever following enteric ...

Bladder perforation during laparoscopy is a recognized, uncommon complication. We present two cases of bladder perforation during laparoscopic gynecologic operations that were detected by gaseous distention of the urinary bag. Bladder perforation occurred through laparoscopic division of adhesion. One bladder perforation was repaired laparoscopically, and the other case was repaired by laparoto...
