A 21-year-old female university student presented to a primary healthcare clinic concerned about possible HIV exposure after unprotected sexual in*******se approximately 18 days earlier.

She had no significant past medical history, was not taking chronic medication, and reported being generally healthy.

Initially, she felt completely normal and did not think much about the encounter. However, after reading online about early HIV symptoms and learning that they can mimic a common flu, she became increasingly anxious.

When she later developed symptoms that felt like a mild viral illness, she began to worry that this could be more than just a seasonal infection.

She denied ge***al ulcers, abnormal vaginal discharge, or pelvic symptoms, but remained fearful that she may have contracted HIV.

Her question was simple:

Some people may never know they have them, while others can experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, or complications if left untreated.

A 75-year-old woman presented to the surgical outpatient department with a 4-month history of intermittent abdominal discomfort and progressive abdominal distension. She reported vague, dull pain localized mainly to the lower right side of the abdomen, associated with early satiety and reduced appetite. Over the preceding 2 months, she had unintentionally lost approximately 6 kg. She also complained of occasional nausea, increasing fatigue, and altered bowel habits characterized by intermittent constipation.

On examination, the patient appeared mildly cachectic but remained haemodynamically stable. Abdominal examination demonstrated mild abdominal distension with tenderness localized to the right lower quadrant. A firm palpable mass was appreciated in the right iliac fossa. There were no signs of peritoneal irritation, as rebound tenderness and guarding were absent. Bowel sounds were present and normal on auscultation.

Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated a complex cystic lesion in the right lower abdomen.
Contrast-enhanced CT abdomen and pelvis showed a dilated appendix with irregular wall thickening and surrounding soft tissue changes, raising suspicion for appendiceal neoplasm.
