We report two cases of osteoid osteoma in the proximal phalanx. This is an uncommon location for the lesion and it has special clinical and radiological features. Both cases were successfully treated when an ‘en bloc’ excision of the lesion, including the nidus, was performed. Four operations were required in the first case.

An unusual case of osteoid osteoma is reported emphasizing the necessity of a careful history and physical examination combined with an adequate imaging supply. Treatment was surgical with an en bloc excision of the lesion.

Gastric teratoma is a rare entity beyond infancy and usually presents as a slow-growing asymptomatic abdominal mass. There are a few published reports of these tumours seen in patients beyond the age of 1 year. In resource-constrained population, these masses are usually neglected because of minimal symptoms associated with these tumours. We report a case of a 14-year-old adolescent who was diagnosed to have a large primary gastric teratoma and underwent en bloc excision with wedge resection of the stomach. A systematic review to identify the previously reported cases of primary gastric teratoma in patients of over the age of 1 year in last 50 years yielded only five articles. A high index of suspicion for primary gastric teratomas in young children and adolescents presenting with asymptomatic large abdominal masses would help treat these patients with a curative intent and excellent treatment outcomes.

Abstract An incisional hernia is usually a defect in the scar of an abdominal surgery. The natural history is intestinal obstruction with the risk of strangulation. We report a case of a long-term conservative management of an incisional hernia with an abdominal corset. This resulted in fistulation from pressure necrosis that required an en-bloc excision of the incarcerated fistulating bowel with the hernia sac. The defect was managed using the Jenkin’s ‘mass closure’ technique with no recurrence of the hernia.
