Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas (SPN) is a rare entity; therefore proper diagnosis, evaluation and formulation of treatment protocols is difficult. The commonest presenting symptom is abdominal pain. This article presents a case of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas in a 35 years old lady. A high index of clinical suspicion is necessary to suspect and diagnose SPN. This diagnosis should be borne in mind when young female patients present with a pancreatic mass.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2017, Vol.9(1); 31-34

Background: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are one of the most common developmental errors in humans.Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to see the frequencies of various types of atrial septal defect (ASD) and associated cardiovascular disorders in patients undergoing surgical repair.Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on patients undergoing surgical repair at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) and National Heart Foundation and Research Institute (NHF&RI) in Dhaka during the period of July, 2010 to June, 2011. Patients presented with ASD at any age of both sexes were selected as study population. Diagnoses were revealed with echocardiography and confirmed preoperatively by registered cardiac surgeons.Results: The morphological types of ASD were Ostium secundum type in 96% cases and sinus venosus type in 4% cases. Atrial septal defects were either small or larger defects associated with pulmonary hypertension in 38(76%) cases, varying degree of tricuspid regurgitation was seen in 33(66%) patients and dilated pulmonary artery was noted in 24(48%) cases. Ventricular septal defect in 4(8%) cases, tricuspid atresia in 2(4%) cases and mitral valve prolapse in 6(12%) cases were also observed.Conclusions: Ostium secundum type of ASD is found to be the commonest type of ASD.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2015; 7(1):18-21

Background : Laparoscopic rectopexy is performed to repair the complete rectal prolapse. Objective : The aim of this study was to see the safety of laparoscopic mesh rectopexy in patients with complete rectal prolapse after doing a case series at a tertiary care hospital. Methodolog y: This was a case series carried out at Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and at a private clinic from January 2005 to December 2010 for a period of 5 years. All female patients presented with complete rectal prolapse were included in this study. Follow up and outcomes were measured after operation. Result : A total number of 6 female patients were operated due to complete rectal prolapse. The mean age (iSD) of the study population was 64.4(i4.615) years. The age range was 58 to 70 years. The mean (iSD) duration of operation was 127.oi25.150 minutes. Constipation was reported in 33.3% cases of patients and 66.7% patients were without any complications. Conclusion : Laparoscopic mesh rectopexy is a technically feasible and safety method for treatment of complete rectal prolapse. J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2014; 6(2):67-70

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the mesenchymal tumors representing the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of gastrointestinal tract. However, GIST is recognized tumor entity and the literature on these stromal tumors has rapidly expanded. This present case report has been found in Dhaka at a tertiary care hospital in a male patient. The patient was operated at the local area before admitted at this hospital where he was misdiagnosed. In this hospital the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologically. Surgical resection was performed laparoscopically by a skilled surgical team.

The first case of external supravesical hernia was made in 1804; but it is so rare that it is very difficult to find any case reported in Bangladesh. Here a case of external supravesical hernia is described in a male who was presented with a left sided direct incomplete reducible inguinal hernia. This report aims to review and discuss the surgical anatomy of these rare supravesical hernias and calls attention to the confusing presentation and treatment of this conditionJ Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2015; 7(1):40-41
