Mesenteric schwannomas are rare benign tumors that arise in the mesentery. Ileal diverticula and intestinal malrotation in adults are rare findings, since they are usually asymptomatic. We present the case of an 86-year-old man, without any known previously known medical conditions, who was admitted in the emergency department with recurrent abdominal distension and intense pain. The radiological study suggested an intestinal malrotation. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed the intestinal malrotation with intermesenteric bands, as well as a mesenteric mass adjacent to an ileal diverticulum. Following a segmental enterectomy, the histology of the mass reported a mesenteric schwannoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such association. We therefore present this report to showcase the diagnostic and therapeutical challenges in managing these conditions.

Introduction And Importance: Neonatal appendicitis is a rare condition with high morbidity and mortality due to its late diagnosis in favor of more common pathologies. There are few reported cases of neonatal appendicitis and even fewer of antenatal appendicitis.
Case Presentation: We report a neonate presenting with abdominal distention and gastric emesis in the setting of a suspected congenital abdominal mass, later diagnosed with neonatal appendicitis requiring intestinal resection and anastomosis.

Enteric duplication cysts and reversed intestinal rotation (RIR) are rare congenital anomalies, with their coexistence being exceptionally uncommon. We report a 4-year-old girl who presented with chronic anemia and intermittent abdominal symptoms since infancy. Detailed workup for medical causes of anemia was inconclusive.

Wandering spleen is a relatively rare condition and may be complicated by intestinal obstruction or abnormal intestinal rotation. Herein, we report a case where these three conditions appeared concomitantly. An 18-year-old woman with an intellectual disability was admitted to the hospital because of vomiting and fever.
