We describe a case of a patient 6 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy who presented with inguinal pain and a mass. At inguinal exploration, the patient was found to have an unretrieved gallstone.
We describe a case of spontaneous delayed peritoneal-cutaneous sinus formation from unretrieved gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Complete healing required excision of the sinus tract and evacuation of intraperitoneal stones.
Sodium warfarin is one of the most commonly used oral anticoagulants. It is not without complications. A case is presented of a 56-year-old woman on well-regulated sodium warfarin therapy who suffered unexplained necrosis and gangrene of the breast. She underwent total mastectomy for debridement because of the extensive nature of the infarction. Possible pathophysiological mechanisms for this process are discussed.
