Article Abstract
Angiomyolipoma is a solid mesenchymal tumour that usually affects the kidney. Hepatic localization of angiomyolipoma (HAML) is rare and usually asymptomatic however it presents a challenging differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 45-year-old man affected by tuberous sclerosis complex type 2 (TSC2) and an hepatic lesion suspected to be hepatocellular carcinoma on magnetic resonance but whose Bmode ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) findings were consistent with benignity, as confirmed by histology.

Lemierre's syndrome (LS), otherwise known as postanginal sepsis, is a frequently overlooked condition characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), usually caused by oropharyngeal infection. However, ear space (otogenic) infections are one of the atypical causes of LS and have been rarely reported. We present a case of a male in his 20s with a history of recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) who presented with purulent ear discharge, fever, neck pain, and swelling for a week.

Department of Gastroenterology, Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, Xi'an, China.
Background: Azygos vein aneurysm (AVA) is a rare thoracic pathology that is frequently misdiagnosed. While contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can delineate AVA location and size, these techniques lack the capability for dynamic real-time assessment of internal architecture.
Case Presentation: We present a highly unusual case of a 67-year-old woman who had an isolated azygos vein aneurysm presenting with dysphagia.

Liver Cancer Department, Binh Dan Hospital, Ho Chi Minh, VNM.
Duodenal perforation is a rare but harmful complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Early diagnosis and appropriate management are critical to reduce morbidity and mortality. Four patients, aged 36 to 56 years, underwent ERCP for biliary obstruction due to choledocholithiasis or postoperative biliary stricture.

Radiology, Mohammed VI University Hospital, Tangier, MAR.
The hypertrophied column of Bertin (HCB) is a benign anatomical variant of the renal cortex that may mimic a neoplastic mass, particularly on ultrasound, potentially leading to unnecessary diagnostic or surgical interventions. We report the case of a nine-year-old girl in whom a renal lesion was incidentally discovered during follow-up imaging for a post-traumatic subcapsular hematoma. Renal ultrasound revealed an isoechoic mass in the mid-portion of the left kidney, extending into the renal sinus.

Internal Medicine, Al Jahra Hospital, Al Jahra, KWT.
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a commonly used tumor marker, primarily for the surveillance of colorectal and other gastrointestinal malignancies. However, its diagnostic specificity is limited, as CEA levels may be elevated in several benign conditions. This case report aims to highlight the potential diagnostic confusion and psychological distress caused by incidental CEA elevation in asymptomatic individuals when tested outside of an appropriate clinical context.
