Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) isa rare skin malignancy first reported in the 1970s with limited number of cases found in the literature. These neoplasms are typically identified in middle-to-older-age individuals and are mostly located in the scalp and neck region but can identified throughout the body. We describe the case of a 67-year-old male patient that presented to our department with a slow-growing nodule in the left gluteal region that turned out to be a PCACC and analyze the differential diagnosis, radiology, histopathological findings and successful treatment with a wide local excision. Current literature on the subject is also presented and discussed.

Vaginal cuff dehiscence can be a rare complication of total hysterectomy, with an estimated prevalence of 0.032% to 1.25% and a high mortality rate of 6 to 10%. Dehiscence is also reported in cases following total laparoscopic hysterectomy, with a prevalence of 0.87%. This case report details the emergency management of a 59-year-old female who complained of abdominal and pelvic pain and the feeling of a foreign body in her vagina. The patient reported a history of laparoscopic total hysterectomy 6 months prior to presenting at the Emergency Department. A clinical examination revealed small bowel loops protruding through the vagina. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy through a Pfannenstiel incision, and the terminal ileum was found prolapsing through the vaginal cuff. The bowel loops were identified as viable and the vagina was sutured. The patient had an unremarked post operative course. This case report showcases that in patients with transvaginal evisceration, immediate surgical management is crucial in order to avoid serious life threatening complications, and both surgeons and gynecologists should remain vigilant regarding this pathology.

A 62-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department of the General Hospital of Katerini, Greece, complaining of abdominal pain, fever, and general discomfort. Laboratory tests indicated an elevated white blood cell count and an elevated C-reactive protein level. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed dilated small bowel loops and free intraperitoneal fluid. During laparotomy, extensive ischemia and necrosis of both the small and large bowel were discovered, and a resection of the small bowel and the right colon was performed, leaving the patient with only 90 cm of small intestine and a jejunocolic anastomosis. Postoperative management was particularly challenging, requiring a multidisciplinary approach, an intensive care unit stay, reoperations due to anastomotic leaks, continuous parenteral nutrition and electrolyte management, and aggressive antibiotic treatment for persistent bacterial infections. This case report highlights the importance of appropriate management of this life-threatening complication following extensive bowel resection.

Spigelian hernias represent infrequent abdominal wall defects, and the incarceration of an inflamed appendix within the hernia sac is an even rarer clinical finding. We report an uncommon case in which a long-standing herniated appendix eventually progressed to perforation and abscess formation. Our report aims to illustrate this clinical transition to an atypical surgical emergency, while emphasizing that early Computed Tomography (CT) is vital for resolving diagnostic uncertainty and avoiding potential pitfalls in complex abdominal wall pathologies. Following prompt surgical intervention and hernia repair, the patient had an uneventful recovery and remained asymptomatic at the six-month follow-up.

Background/Objectives: Gynecomastia is a common condition characterized by the benign enlargement of male breast tissue, often resulting from hormonal imbalances. A rare variant, unilateral pseudogynecomastia, involves enlargement due to adipose tissue accumulation without glandular proliferation and can be associated with occupational factors. Methods: We report the case of a 45-year-old male mechanic presenting with unilateral enlargement of the left breast. The patient reported daily microtrauma on his left axilla and chest wall. The clinical evaluation and imaging revealed lipomatosis with pronounced fibrous tissue and no glandular tissue involvement. The hormonal assays were within the normal limits. The patient underwent surgical excision of excess adipose tissue using the Kornstein technique, preserving the nipple–areola complex. Results: The histopathological examination confirmed the absence of malignancy. The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the follow-up examination at 12 months demonstrated a symmetrical breast appearance with no recurrence. This case underscores the importance of differentiating pseudogynecomastia from true gynecomastia and recognizing potential occupational risks. Surgical management using techniques that preserve the nipple–areola complex can achieve excellent cosmetic outcomes.
