Background: Gastrointestinal tract duplications are rare congenital malformations that are benign, presenting usually in childhood. Most common sites include the distal ileum and esophagus. Rectal presentation is quite uncommon and is usually cystic. Case Presentation: This is a case of a 3-year-old boy who came with rectal prolapse. On further examination and imaging investigations, a presacral cyst was located and a diagnosis of rectal duplication was made. The cyst was completely excised by a posterior sagittal approach. Conclusion: Rectal duplication is a rare entity that may simulate a rectal prolapse.

Intestinal duplications, originally described in 1941, are congenital cystic lesions resemblingand associated with part of the gastrointestinal tract. Rectal duplication is the rarest of the allduplications and adolescence presentation of rectal duplication cyst is quite unusual whichis reported here. A 17 year female presented with right gluteal lump. She underwent surgeryand was found to have a smooth cystic mass, which was later found to be a Rectal Duplicationcyst in histopathology. High index of suspicion with other differentials can lead to earlydiagnosis and complete cure of the condition. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2017) Vol. 21 (1) :45-46

Abstract Background Small intestine duplication cysts (SIDCs) are rare congenital anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract and a rare cause of hematochezia. Case presentation We describe an adult female presented with recurrent hematochezia. The routine gastric endoscope and colonic endoscope showed no positive findings. Abdominal CT scan indicated intussusception due to the "doughnut" sign, but the patient had no typical symptoms. Two subsequent capsule endoscopes revealed a protruding lesion with bleeding in the distal ileum. Surgical resection was performed and revealed a case of SIDC measuring 6 * 2 cm located inside the ileum cavity. The patient remained symptom-free throughout a 7-year follow-up period. Conclusion SIDCs located inside the enteric cavity can easily be misdiagnosed as intussusception by routine radiologic examinations.

Abstract Background Scrotoschisis is a rare anomaly in which the testis is lying outside scrotum congenitally. Only few cases have been reported in literature under different names most of which are unilateral. We have found only one case of bilateral scrotoschisis in literature. Case presentation Newborn presented to us after normal term twin delivery as a case of bilateral scrotoschisis in which both testes were lying outside the scrotum congenitally. Baby underwent uneventful bilateral orchiopexy and was discharged home the next day. Conclusion Scrotoschisis is a very rare genital anomaly with only a few cases reported in literature. This report would add to the literature which would help in studying the exact mechanism and embryopathogenesis of this anomaly which is not known yet.

Abstract Background Achondrogenesis type II is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia with a frequency of ~0.2 per 100,000 births. It is one of the lethal short-limbed dwarfisms associated with structural mutations in type II collagen and is also known as Langer-Saldino achondrogenesis. It is characterized by severe micromelia (shortening of entire limb), narrow chest, and prominent abdomen. It shares the striking feature of partial or complete vertebral body demineralization with achondrogenesis type I. Case presentation We present a case with antenatal diagnosis of this rare entity which was confirmed by post-termination radiographs of abortus. Conclusion The imaging plays a cardinal role in the diagnosis of this condition. This case represents only the 4th case of this rare entity from India.

Considerable attention is currently being paid to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric malformations complicated by its obstruction. This can be attributed to stable incidence of these disorders among other congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract and no clear understanding of the causes and mechanisms underlying the development of this pathology. Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations that differ significantly in their appearance, location, size, and clinical manifestations. Their incidence is 1 case per 4,500 autopsies. Duplications can be cystic and diverticular (tubular) and can be located in any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the root of the tongue to the anal canal. The small intestine is affected most frequently, while duplications of the rectum, duodenum, and esophagus are exceedingly rare. In this article, we report two cases of gastrointestinal duplications in children treated using surgery. Key words: neonate, obstruction, developmental malformations, gastric duplication, esophageal duplication, case report

Introduction: Primary Plasma Cell Leukemia (pPCL) is Plasma cell dyscrasia subtype which is rare and aggressive. It carries very poor prognosis. It has unique clinical and laboratory prole. Its rst clinical presentation is leukemia. Peripheral blood examination shows circulating mature looking yet clonal, plasma cells. On molecular and cytogenetic examinations, many aberrations are seen which are unique and make it a distinct entity different from traditional Multiple Myeloma (MM). Case presentation: 37 yr old Indian female presented with difculty in breathing for last 3 months and was initially evaluated for cardiac function & COVID-19 screening. Peripheral blood examination revealed circulating plasma cells. Bone marrow apirate conrmed the initial diagnosis of pPCL. She received BIODRONATE + Inj. BORTEZOMIB + Inj. CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE + Tab Dexa and was advised for PETscan and skeletal survey. But due to nancial constraints, family decided to go for complete systemic workup in next phase of chemotherapy cycle. She was discharged with advise to be in close follow up and to complete her treatment cycles. Discussion: pPCL needs to be diagnosed promptly to formulate optimal intensive therapy. This atypical presentation with shortness of breath of rare entity of pPCLin such young age emphasizes the need for quick and thorough initial workup. Conclusion: Because of rarity of this disease, there is paucity of literature from India and especially the impact of the standard therapies in resource poor countries. Our case report highlights these challenges for conclusive management of this rare entity

Introduction: Infantile endodermal oculomotor nerve cyst (EONC) is an extremely rare entity. There are very few pediatric cases reported in the literature, and as expected, oculomotor palsy is the most common presenting symptom. To date however, the risk of recurrence of these lesions following surgical intervention is unclear due to a lack of long-term radiological follow-up. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 13-month-old male patient with an EONC and detail his surgical fenestration and postoperative course. Somewhat surprisingly, re-expansion occurred within 6 months and remained stable 2 years later. Discussion: A surgical approach to fenestration of an EONC in an infant is possible and should be performed by an expert neurosurgeon. Early recurrence is underreported in the current literature, and we encourage longer term radiological surveillance of these lesions after surgery to optimize primary and recurrent management in the future.
