Dulaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus which is typically prescribed as adjunctive therapy when lifestyle interventions and metformin alone are insufficient in controlling blood sugar levels.

Choriocarcinoma following a term pregnancy is a rare spectrum of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, as most cases occur after a molar gestation. We present a case of a 35-year-old para 4, diagnosed with choriocarcinoma and lung lesions complicated by postpartum haemorrhage after a spontaneous delivery of a stillborn baby at term.

The ex-utero intrapartum treatment (ExIT) procedures are successfully used to approach many forms of foetal airway management problems at delivery, including neck masses, congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), intrathoracic and mediastinal masses, unilateral pulmonary agenesis and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

Patient with heart failure with a calcified ventricular thrombus revealed by the x-ray, rare finding, and confirmed by echocardiogram.

Silicone breast implants rupture occur in 5.8% to 23.7% cases. Silicon-associated lymphadenopathy is a rare complication of an implant rupture due the migration of silicone particles to the lymph nodes.

A 68-year-old male construction worker presented with fever, cough, dyspnea, and known exposure to a confirmed COVID-19 case. Despite two consecutive negative RT-PCR tests, clinical presentation and elevated inflammatory markers raised high suspicion for COVID-19 pneumonia.

Ectopic thyroid is a form of thyroid dysgenesis and is defined as the presence of thyroid tissue in an abnormal location. Its prevalence is about 1 per 1,00, 000-3,00,000 people, rising to 1 per 4,000-8,000 patients with thyroid diseases. The most common sites of ectopic thyroid are lingual (90%) and anterior neck (10%).

Duodenal injuries by blunt abdominal trauma in children are rare. They are often missed because of the retroperitoneal position of the duodenum. Their diagnosis and treatment remain a challenge. We report the case of a 15-year-old adolescent suffering a blunt abdominal trauma due to a kick of horse.

Lymphangioma is a benign tumor with slow progression, most commonly affecting the head and neck. Orbital involvement is rare (1-2% of orbital tumors) but can be severe due to significant functional and cosmetic impairment, as well as the difficulty of surgical resection.
