Uterine fibroids are the most common gynaecologic malignancy, but only 20% of women need treatment to relieve their symptoms. The management of fibroids has changed from open to laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy and minimal invasive techniques such as uterine artery embolization and ablation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the best modality in the diagnosis, characterization and number of fibroids as well as for accessing extrauterine relationships, associated diseases; it also helps in planning, choosing and prognosis of treatment options.

The foramen of Huschke, or foramen tympanicum, is a developmental defect in the bony part of the external auditory canal (EAC) due to a defect in ossification of normal bone in the first 5 years of life. Seen in the anteroinferior part of the EAC, it can be asymptomatic or present with salivary discharge into the EAC during mastication or as soft tissue swelling in the EAC in the absence of any inflammation, tumor, or trauma. We present a case of a man who presented with herniation of soft tissues of the temporomandibular joint into the EAC through a persistent foramen tympanicum.

Annular pancreas is a developmental anomaly that can be associated with other conditions such as Down syndrome, duodenal atresia, and Hirschsprung disease. A band of pancreatic tissue, in continuity with the pancreatic head, completely or incompletely encircles the descending duodenum, sometimes assuming a "crocodile jaw" configuration. We present the case of an adult who presented with epigastric pain and vomiting and was found to have annular pancreas.
