Lymphangioma is a benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that is relatively common in juvenile population. Rarely, it can be seen in adults and majority of the cases are reported in the head and neck region (70-75%). Typically, these malformations are asymptomatic. In this report, we present a rare case of splenic lymphangioma presenting with severe, intractable abdominal pain.

Introduction: Recognition of Drug-induced Liver Injury (DILI) may be challenging as it is often diagnosis of exclusion, unavailability of diagnostic test and variability in presentation. Many antibiotics can cause DILI but Amoxicillin-Clavulanate has rare adverse reaction causing mixed cholestatic-hepatocellular injury. Since amoxicillin alone does not induce liver injury, combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid could be responsible for this adverse reaction. It can be due to metabolic idiosyncrasy or hypersensitivity mechanism. Case Report: 64-year-old female with no pertinent PMH presented to ER with abdominal pain and jaundice. She had abdominal pain for 4-5 days. Abdominal pain was constant and located …

Cecal bascule is a rare disease variant of a cecal volvulus. It consists of upward and anterior folding of the ascending colon, forming a flap valve, and occluding the bowel lumen resulting in proximal cecal dilatation. Herein, we present a case of a patient who developed persistent abdominal pain few hours after a colonoscopy. CT scan of the abdomen revealed an upward and anterior folding of the cecum. Subsequently the patient was taken to the operating room for a right hemi-colectomy. This case emphasizes the importance to consider cecal bascule as a differential diagnosis in patients with persistent abdominal pain …
