Introduction: and importance: Acquired small bowel diverticulosis is rare 1% and the ileum is the less frequent occurring site 15%. Most cases were multiple and asymptomatic. This is the first case of perforated terminal ileum diverticula in a 32-year-old woman and successfully managed surgically.
Case Presentation: We describe a rare case of terminal ileal diverticulosis, one of the diverticula was perforated, in a 32-year-old female who presented with a 2-days history of sudden epigastric and periumbilical pain and had been managing surgically. At surgery, we found multiple diverticula, one of them was perforated. Microscopically, the specimen confirmed that the diagnosis was diverticulosis.
Conclusion: Diverticulosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a sudden epigastric and periumbilical pain even in this age.

Idiopathic non-mast cell angioedema (INMA) is a rare disease typified by recurrent attacks of cutaneous and subcutaneous swelling. Every attack carries the potential for severe morbidity and, in the case of laryngeal involvement, mortality. Whereas therapies approved for hereditary angioedema (HAE) have been used in the care of patients with INMA, little is known with regard to their efficacy for the treatment of this disease.

Background: Although rare, melanoma confined to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue without evidence of a primary cutaneous site should provoke consideration of melanoma of unknown primary. This diagnosis carries a favorable prognosis when compared with cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Several hypotheses have been proposed for how melanoma of unknown primary develops, two of which were considered in our patient case: (1) spontaneous regression of the primary tumor following metastasis or (2) the traumatic implantation of ectopic melanocytic cells in other tissues, such as the subcutaneous tissue.
