Abstract Background: Subhepatic appendicitis is an exceedingly rare presentation accounting for 0.01% of Acute appendicitis. It is of prime importance to be aware of various variants and thereby managing such challenging cases accordingly.Case presentation: We present a middle-aged female patient with subhepatic perforated appendicitis and peritonitis who underwent an exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy.Conclusions: Surgical management of such patients is challenging due to an atypical presentation. The surgical management of such patients is discussed with a brief review of literature.

Subhepatic appendicitis is a very rare presentation that has been rarely reported, accounting for 0.01% of acute appendicitis case. It is difficult to diagnose and prime to be aware of variants, manage such challenging case in emergency setting. We present a case of 29 years male patient with subhepatic perforated appendicitis and its sequelae-abscess and peritonitis who underwent an exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy. The initial diagnosis and surgical management of such patients is challenging due to very rare and atypical presentation in emergency setting. A high level of clinical suspicion, promote decision to operate and skillful surgical approach is discussed with briefly.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Brauer nevus, also known as congenital triangular alopecia (CTA) is a localized alopecia that rarely affects the occipital or mid-frontal region. CTA is a localized follicular hypoplasia, commonly misdiagnosed as alopecia areata. Although named congenital, onset in adulthood is possible. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We present a review of literature of eighteen atypical locations, providing 4 new cases to the 9 previously published, with particular attention to trichoscopy and histopathological descriptions in this exceptional presentation forms. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> Occipital and mid-frontal Brauer nevus are unusual findings with very few cases reported so far. Because of its rarity and atypical presentation, it can often lead to a misdiagnosis. A higher incidence in the male sex stands clear in these locations. Detection at birth is slightly more frequent than in the classical CTA. Histopathological and trichoscopy findings do not differ from the classical entity, although white or hypopigmented hairs do not seem to be an item present in the mid-frontal forms.

Abstract This is an extremely rare presentation of multiple appendicoliths in one appendix. Multiple appendicoliths as well as appendicoliths larger than 5 mm have been implicated in severe appendicitis as well as perforation and gangrene of the appendix. There is no known correlation with appendicular malignancy. The controversy arises in the surgical management of asymptomatic patients. There is emerging evidence that justifies an elective appendicectomy in asymptomatic patients.

Clinical Presentations

The Limb Body Wall Complex (LBWC) aka. Body Stalk Syndrome is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by severe malformations of limb, thorax, and abdomen, characterized by the presence of thoracoschisis, abdominoschisis, limb defects, and exencephaly. This condition is extremely rare with an incidence of 1 per 14,000 and 1 per 31,000 pregnancies in large epidemiologic studies. Majority of these malformed fetuses end up with spontaneous abortions. We present this rare case with occurrence in a preterm infant of 35 weeks gestation. Our report highlights majority of the clinical presentations as reported in previous literature, but the significant pathological findings of absent genitalia and malformed genitourinary, anorectal malformations make this case presentation an even more rare occurrence. Infant karyotyping was normal male and there is no specific underlying genetic correlation in this condition which has fatal prognosis.
