IMAGE OF THE MONTH:
Sigmoid colonic perforation is an acute surgical emergency.
The patient in this case presented with a 3-day history
of colicky generalised abdominal pain, gradually
getting worse, eventually localising to the right iliac fossa.
When a laparotomy was performed, a chicken bone was found protruding through ...the sigmoid colon, which was found to lie in the right iliac fossa, thus mimicking acute appendicitis.
Authors emphasise the need for an increased awareness of the operating surgeon of this diagnostic possibility. They also stress the importance of informing patients of all possibilities to avoid any future medico-legal implications.

A rapidly growing mass located on the midline anterior chest wall. A biopsy of the mass was performed and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic tubulopapillary renal cell carcinoma (TPRCC).
The patient in this case later developed choroidal metastatis from TPRCC - an asso...ciation that currently remains very exceptional.
Authors highlight the need for a high index of suspicion and adequate investigation of patients with visual complaints and history of renal carcinoma.

Spontaneous corneal melting during the midterm of pregnancy. This figure shows the split lamp appearance of both eyes of the patient.
Although the underlying mechanisms remain to be clarified, this case report demonstrates that
physiological changes during pregnancy might lead to
devastating corneal com...plications, such as corneal melting, in high-risk women with compromised corneas.
