Adenocarcinoma arising from chronic perianal crohn's disease: a case report

Malignant transformation of perineal fistula in Crohns disease has rarely been reported. We report a case of Crohns disease with recurrent perineal fistulas. A 36-year-old male, diagnosed with Crohns disease at the age of 24, developed adenocarcinoma in an anorectal fistula that had existed for years. He was treated with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy but died. A high index of suspicion and regular surveillance is recommended in chronic anorectal fistulas in Crohns disease. The shorter duration of Crohns fistulas prior to malignant degeneration necessitates an aggressive approach to rule out cancer.

Dual intersection syndrome of the forearm: a case report

The intersection syndrome, described since the 19th century, is an uncommon disorder associated with rubbing at the crossing point between the first dorsal compartment muscles and the radial wrist extensor muscles. Imaging modalities used to diagnosis this syndrome includes ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. We reported a case of a 60-year-old man presented to our formation with painful swelling on the dorsum of the wrist and forearm. An MRI and an ultrasound were performed, and objectified a dual cross syndrome of the forearm.
