Fishbone perforation of the stomach into the lesser sac and pancreas with abscess, a fishy business.

Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in critical practice. Thankfully, most of these objects will pass without complications; however, sharp and metallic objects can cause severe complications like ulcers and perforation. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract is rare; however, once it happens, prompt treatment is needed to prevent dreadful complications.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the cecum presenting as acute abdomen, a rare pathology with a rarer presentation.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is an extremely rare neoplastic lesion with a predilection for aggressive local and recurrent behavior. The tumor tends to occur in the lungs of children and young adults, and although it can develop in older patients and other organs, this is extremely rare. Symptoms are nonspecific and depend on the location and size of the tumor.

Small bowel volvulus due to jejunal diverticula: a rare case of acute abdomen.

Jejunal diverticula are rare, and small bowel diverticular disease resulting in volvulus can lead to severe complications; as symptoms are non-specific, many patients are misdiagnosed and treated wrongly for other conditions. When a small bowel volvulus is detected, urgent surgical treatment is needed to avoid troublesome difficulties. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented to the emergency room with an acute abdomen due to small bowel obstruction.

Intestinal ischemia in a patient with vascular malformation: a recipe for disaster.

Anatomical variations of the celiac and mesenteric artery have been described over the past two centuries; many of these variations will have no clinical repercussions and will only be found incidentally or during imaging studies. However, these variations can lead to severe complications if undetected during surgery, transplantation or when they are affected by ischemia. Therefore, prompt treatment is needed to overcome these dangerous scenarios.

Gallbladder agenesis discovered during surgery, a sum of inadequate decisions.

Background: Gallbladder agenesis is an extremely rare congenital condition in which most patients will remain asymptomatic; nonetheless, a small subset of patients will mimic biliary, urinary, or gastrointestinal disorders. As a result, if these patients are unaware of their condition, an ultrasound may be needed when they present with right upper abdominal pain, which can be misleading or inconclusive, putting the surgeon and the medical team in a diagnostic and intraoperative dilemma.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with a history of ventricular septal defect and cleft palate.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen: a rare cause of acute abdomen.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is an extremely rare benign lesion. It originates from the spleen's red pulp; however, its pathogenesis is not clearly defined. These tumors are usually asymptomatic or cause nonspecific abdominal symptoms.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis in an elderly patient, better to be safe than sorry.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare pathology with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily misdiagnosed. Clinical awareness along with close surveillance is critical to effectively diagnose and treat this condition. Current treatment is based on conservative therapy including antibiotics and oxygen.
