Duodenal hematoma is a rare complication of endoscopic duodenal biopsy that occurs mainly in children or adults with impaired coagulation. The clinical presentation consists of signs of intestinal obstruction, and pancreatitis and direct hyperbilirubinemia are possible complications caused by ampullary obstruction. A case of a six-year-old girl who presented with a duodenal hematoma and acute pancreatitis after having an endoscopic duodenal biopsy is reported. A review of the literature and data from all similar cases reported so far are briefly presented and discussed.

Reports have revealed the existence of colonic cancer with chronic bowel schistosomiasis. The specie most frequently involved is Schistosoma japonicum. Few cases have, however, shown Schistosoma mansoni as the involved specie. There seems to be an association between rectal cancer and Schistosoma mansoni infestation. Despite earlier studies that refuted any association between schistosomiasis and colonic cancer, more reports are lending credence to the claim that chronic colonic schistosomiasis, especially with S. Japonicum, may induce colonic cancer and the case with are reporting also point to the fact that S. Mansoni may also be implicated. We report a case of a 35-year-old man with a rectal cancer (pT3N0M0) associated with Schistosoma mansoni. He presented with intestinal obstruction and operation revealed a cirrhotic liver with hepatic schistosomiasis.

An intestinal obstruction occurs when either the small or large intestine is partly or completely blocked so it prevents passing the food or fluid through the small/large bowel. This blockage is due to the existence of a mechanical obstruction such as foreign material, mass, hernia, or volvulus. Common symptoms include cramping pain, nausea and vomiting, changes in bowel habits, inability to pass stool, and lack of gas. We present a case of an 83-year-old man who had been referred to Taleghani Hospital with symptoms of bowel obstruction. He underwent the surgery. The findings of exploration of the entire abdomen showed two types of mass separately in two different organs. In postoperative workup, pathology reported two types of tumors (adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors).

Meckels diverticulum accounts for 2 to 3% of gastrointestinal tract malformations in children. It is a distal remnant of the incompletely obliterated omphalo mesenteric duct that occurs at 4 weeks gestation, and is located approximately 40 to 60 cm from the last ileal loop. In the majority of cases, its presentation is asymptomatic and discovery is incidental. The symptomatic form represents 4% and is rare in children, including bleeding, occlusion, inflammation and intermittent umbilical oozing. The symptomatic form is exceptional in newborns. This work is a descriptive study of the literature regarding reported cases of newborns diagnosed with symptomatic Meckels diverticulum either as a picture of intestinal obstruction or by spontaneous perforation of the DM The objective of our study is to describe the cases of newborns operated in emergency for symptomatic Meckels diverticulum and to evaluate the surgical management.
