Article Abstract
Arteriovenous graft for hemodialysis vascular access is a widely used technique with many advantages. However, it has crucial complications with graft thrombosis and infection. We recently experienced an unusual case of arteriovenous graft complication involving graft thrombosis related to fistula formation between the graft and the natural vein with infection. We diagnosed this condition using Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography angiography. Successful surgical treatment including partial graft excision and creation of a secondary arteriovenous fistula using an inadvertently dilated cephalic vein was performed. The dialysis unit staff should keep this condition in mind and try to prevent this complication.

Port site metastasis is an uncommon but clinically relevant complication, particularly associated with minimally invasive surgery for abdomino-pelvic malignancies, often indicating poor prognosis and necessitating prompt evaluation for potential surgical intervention. Proposed mechanisms include direct tumor implantation, aerosolization during pneumoperitoneum, surgical wound contamination, and immune alterations. In this report, we describe a case of a 48-year-old man who developed SSTR-expressing port site metastases, occurring 4 years and 4 months following laparoscopic resection of an ileal neuroendocrine tumor (NET).

Introduction And Importance: Chest wall tumors are common and predominantly benign. Exceptionally, long-standing evolution over decades can lead to the development of giant tumors, posing substantial technical and strategic challenges in determining the optimal surgical approach.
Presentation Of Case: We report a rare case of a giant pedunculated chest wall lipoma that had been growing for over 40 years in a 73-year-old man.

In a subset of patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM), an associated hematologic neoplasm (AHN) is identified. Most AHN are myeloid neoplasms, whereas lymphoid neoplasms are uncommon. We report on a 70-year-old female patient with bone marrow mastocytosis (BMM) associated with primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL).

Background: Cardiac syncope due to sinus arrest may result from either a vasovagal cardioinhibitory mechanism or an intrinsic sinus node dysfunction.
Case Summary: A 67-year-old woman with a recently diagnosed right hilar mass presented with new-onset episodes of syncope associated with sinus arrest. Resting electrocardiogram was normal, and no electrolyte abnormalities were identified.
