INTRODUCTION

Cardiac angiosarcomas are rare tumours which can present with varying clinical symptoms, and are usually difficult to manage. We present a case of a young female who presented with respiratory symptoms, and was found to have a primary cardiac angiosarcoma with metastases. A discussion of primary angiosarcoma and a review of its management follows.

Synopsis:

We present an exploratory analysis of perforated diverticular disease in Barbados. There seems to be a relatively high incidence of perforated right-sided diverticulitis in an Afro-Caribbean population. More research is needed to determine the exact etiology of this disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective: We present an exploratory analysis of data collected on perforated diverticular disease (PDD) in Barbados and suggest possible areas for further study.
