Adult necrotising enterocolitis: a rare entity.

A case of Adult Necrotising Enterocolitis in an adult female whom diagnosed with intestinal obstruction was reported. On exploratory laparotomy, the mechanical caused was not found although major part of small bowel, caecum and proximal ascending colon were gangrenous along with intervening normal parts. Resection of affected bowel was performed followed by jejunostomy and transverse colostomy.

A rare clinicopathological presentation of the breast carcinoma; implications and outcome.

In females, the most common cancer is breast carcinoma in which squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare type of malignancy. Histologically, infiltrating ductal carcinoma is the most common type and lobular, mucinous, and medullary types have lower incidence. Pure SCC of the breast can originate from the skin, nipple, or epithelium of a deep-seated dermoid cyst or squamous metaplasia on chronic inflammation background.

Peroral extrusion of the peritoneal catheter in an infant.

Peroral extrusion of the distal end of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt tube is the potentially hazardous end result of a bowel perforation with only few case reports in the literature. The distal end of the peritoneal catheter got fractured in a 4-year-old child and it protruded out through the mouth. The cranial incision was opened and the shunt divided below the chamber.

Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: A rare entity.

Context: Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an extremely rare but known entity resulting from prolonged suppuration of the kidney. The disease may be focal or diffuse and may pose considerable diagnostic dilemma at times. Surgery is curable and remains optimal treatment of choice.

Crohn's disease presenting as acute abdomen: Report of two cases.

Context: Crohn's Disease may involve any part of GI tract leading to inflammation of all the layers of the affected bowel. The symptoms may mimc other intestinal pathologies and at times diagnosis remains a dilemma. Mostly medical therapy remains the mainstay of treatment.

Gallstone ileus and jejunal perforation along with gangrenous bowel in a young patient: A case report.

Context: Gallstone ileus is an uncommon condition with potentially serious complications including perforation and gangrene of the small bowel.

Chronic intussuception due to ileocaecal tuberculosis in a young adult with severe anemia: Case report with literature review.

Context: Intestinal intussuception in an adult is a rare entity that differs in etiology from its pediatric counterpart owing to underlying pathologic lead points in adults, mostly neoplasms. The main clinical presentation in chronic intussuception in adults remains dull abdominal pain, and acute intussuception is uncommon. Computed tomography (CT) remains the diagnostic modality of choice and surgical resection is the optimal treatment.

A large retroperitoneal tumor with psoas infiltration: A rare case report.

Context: Retroperitoneal sarcomas are rare neoplasms. Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is performed in patients with these tumors to detect local extent and distant metastases of the tumor and for preoperative surgical planning. However the evaluation and treatment of retroperitoneal sarcomas are challenging because of its rarity and frequent presentation with advanced disease in an anatomically complex location.
