In addition, he is experiencing more frequent memory lapses. His stomach is distended, but on palpation, his liver is small in size and firm, indicating cirrhosis. Lab tests (including USG) indicate a decrease in hemoglobin, albumin, and prothrombin levels with elevated serum bilirubin and ammonia levels confirming the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis.
Case 7. This patient was admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding with melena. The EGD with biopsy reveals gastric carcinoma. The patient had a blood transfusion of packed cells for acute blood loss anemia.
Case 8. The patient was diagnosed Osteosarcoma of the proximal metaphysis of the tibia. CT scan reveals metastasis to the right lung in the early stage of tumor development. Treatment involves surgical excision of the tumor followed by chemotherapy.
