Visual Abstract

Enterovesical fistula represents an abnormal communication between the intestine and bladder. The causes are diverticulitis (56.3%), malignant tumours, which are located mainly in the intestine (20.1%), and Crohn’s disease (9.1%). A follow-up cystogram was done which showed no contrast extravasation into the peritoneum. The patient was followed up for 9 months after surgery.

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation is a rare congenital abnormality of the lungs. It can manifest at any age and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality in infants and children. This case study holds significance because several studies have focused on the timing and outcomes of surgical intervention in asymptomatic cases, there remains a lack of consensus regarding symptomatic patients and their outcomes after surgery.

Synovial sarcoma is a mesenchymal tumour with partial epithelial differentiation. About 85-90% of SS occur in the extremities. n the first-line metastatic setting, combination treatment with adriamycin and ifosfamide is administered. Despite the unfavourable prognosis, the patient's extended survival is fortunately not the typical outcome.

Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease presenting a wide variety of clinical manifestations ranging from mild sicca symptoms to severe systemic symptoms involving pulmonary, renal, musculoskeletal, cutaneous, and haematological diseases. These symptomatic diversities can delay the correct diagnosis of Sjogren’s Syndrome for a long time. However, only bicytopenia can be the initial presentation of Sjogren’s syndrome as in our patient.
