Background: Intussusception is a rare cause of bleeding per rectum in neonates. Duplication cyst as a pathological lead point for intussusception is rarer too. Case Presentation: A female neonate presented with bilious vomiting and bleeding per rectum. Ultrasonography diagnosed it as intussusception. Intraoperatively, on reduction of intussusception, a mass was found which on histopathological examination (HPE) revealed a duplication cyst. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion is required for an early diagnosis of neonatal intussusception, which is essential for preventing complications and mortality.

Background: Intussusception is rare in the neonatal period and even less common in premature babies. Case Presentation: We present a case of a premature newborn with an insidious clinical picture characterized by irritability and multiple vomits. Ultrasound was diagnostic of intussusception. The baby had a jejunal intussusception without any pathological lead point, with a favorable outcome. Conclusion: Intussusception is a rare cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction especially in premature neonates.

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.

Colonic duplication cyst is an uncommon cause of intussusception in adults. We report a case of caecal duplication cyst in a 24-year-old adult with a 3-year history of recurrent abdominal pain mainly in the periumbilical region. CT and MRI of the abdomen showed a lesion suggesting an caecal duplication cyst within an intussuception. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy and was found to have a caecal duplication cyst acting as a lead point for the intusseception for which laparoscopic-assisted resection was performed. The histological examination confirmed the presence of intestinal duplication cyst without any underlying malignancy.

Background: Double simultaneous intussusception is a peculiar and rare variety of intussusception with only 3 previously reported neonatal cases. Case presentation: A 15-day-old male neonate with respiratory distress was found to have Tetralogy of Fallot and hypoplastic pulmonary stenosis. Small bowel intussusception was diagnosed on ultrasound abdomen following hematochezia on the next day. Emergency laparotomy revealed two intussusceptions, ileocolic and jejunojejunal, with bowel gangrenous requiring resection and anastomosis. No pathological lead point was identified. He recovered with supportive care and was discharged. Conclusion: Simultaneously occurring double intussusceptions are extremely rare in neonates, and thorough examination of the entire small bowel in cases of intussusception is key to the diagnosis.

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

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare benign disease with a self-limiting course. Patients usually present with clinical features of tender cervical lymphadenopathy (LAP), fever, malaise, weight loss, and night sweats. The disease may mimic infective LAP or lymphoma on clinical and histopathological examination (HPE). <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> We report a case of 3-year-old male child who presented to us with bilateral cervical LAP not responding to conservative management. Excision biopsy was done and HPE revealed KFD. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Clinicians should have high index of suspicion for diagnosis of KFD in patients with cervical LAP not responding to conservative management. Excision biopsy is important for accurate diagnosis and to avoid aggressive interventions like chemotherapy.

Introduction: Trichilemmal cysts (TCs) are common skin lesions that occur in hairy areas. A TC involving a fingertip has not been previously described in the literature. We herein report a case of a TC occupying a fingertip region. Case presentation: A 43-year-old woman presented with a 1.5 × 1.5 cm nodular lesion on the third fingertip. The lesion was completely excised, and histopathological examination revealed a TC. Conclusion: TCs may involve atypical locations, such as fingertips, where there are no hair follicles. After surgical excision, a careful histopathological examination should be performed to differentiate TCs from proliferating pilar tumors.
