    Abstract Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that arises from connective tissue. Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is a rare neoplasm of dendritic cell origin. IDCS arises from interdigitating dendritic cells found in the T-cell regions of secondary lymphoid tissues. Due to the rare nature of IDCS diagnosis, management can be difficult. Often, the diagnosis is delayed due to a lack of symptoms and signs. Here, we describe a case of a 34-year-old female patient who presented with an incidental finding of a left sidewall pelvic mass later to be confirmed on biopsy as an IDCS.

    Abstract Introduction: Methamphetamine use is a rare cause of intestinal ischemia but is of clinical significance due to its high morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of methamphetamine-induced intestinal ischemia has been limited to few case reports.
    Case presentation: We describe the case of a 48-year-old man who presented with ischemic bowel related to methamphetamine use. With concern for intestinal infarction the patient was taken to the operating room for emergency laparotomy, which found a segmental gangrene of small bowel and colon. The patient subsequently underwent right hemicolectomy and small bowel resection for damage control, followed by second-look laparotomy and anastomosis. The patient recovered well from the surgery and was discharged without complications.
    Conclusion: This case report alerts surgeons to have a high index of suspicion for intestinal ischemia in methamphetamine users who present with acute abdominal pain.

    Abstract Introduction: Ectopic or heterotopic pancreas is a congenital disorder defined as abnormally located pancreatic tissue found outside the pancreatic frame. It is a rare entity that occasionally causes symptoms depending on its location.
    Presentation of case: We present the case of an incidental finding of proximal jejunal ectopic pancreas in a middle-aged woman presenting with appendicitis.
    Discussion and conclusion: Although rare it is necessary to be aware that jejunal ectopic pancreas can lead to jejunojejunal intussusception. Although diagnostic tools are emerging, pre operative diagnosis is difficult and resection is the management of choice of the incidentally found lesion.

    Abstract Introduction: Foreign body ingestion is a common clinical presentation with less than 1% of the cases requiring surgical intervention. In this report, we present a rare case of razor blades lodged in the appendix as a result of intentional ingestion.
    Presentation of case: A 25 year old male prisoner presented to our hospital with persistent right iliac fossa pain after razor blade ingestion. After 5 days of conservative management, there was no sign of transition on serial X-Rays. Laparoscopy with intraoperative image intensification confirmed the presence of the razor blades in the appendix and appendicectomy was subsequently performed without complications.
    Discussion: Most ingested objected with diameter less than 2.5 cm and length less than 6 cm can pass through the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously in less than one week. The entry of foreign objects into the appendix is thought to be due to relative low motility of the caecum, the dependent position of the appendix and the size of the appendiceal orifice. Radiographic localisation to the appendiceal lumen was complicated by metallic artefact, but was consistent with failure to transit. Appendicectomy was felt to be the safest mode of retrieval.
    Conclusion: Ingested foreign body lodged in the appendix is a rare event. Once the exact location is confirmed, a simple laparoscopic appendicectomy can be performed to facilitate the removal.

    Abstract Introduction: Splenic flexure volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction and is uncommonly encountered in young patients from developed countries.
    Presentation of case: This report details a challenging case of a gangrenous large bowel volvulus in a 25 year old woman 20 weeks pregnant, highlighting the diagnostic and operative challenges that this rare clinical situation presents. After urgent MRI confirming a splenic flexure volvulus, an emergency open left hemicolectomy and end colostomy was performed. Following uneventful recovery and successful delivery of her baby at full term, she was reversed 6 months later.
    Discussion: Splenic flexure volvulus is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction, and as such can result in a delay in diagnosis, particularly in the setting of pregnancy. In this case, the patient was not diagnosed until day 3 of her admission when she decompensated with a rising white cell count.
    Conclusion: Splenic flexure volvulus is a rare occurrence. This case report of a young pregnant woman presenting with a large bowel obstruction due to splenic flexure volvulus highlights the importance of considering and investigating for this diagnosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Internal abdominal hernias account for 1% of all hernias but 5.8% of all bowel obstructions and hence are of significant clinical importance. Similarly Spigelian hernias account for only 0.12-2% of all abdominal wall hernias.
    Case presentation: We present and discuss the management of a case that presented with concurrent falciform ligament internal abdominal hernia and Spigelian hernia. We believe this is the first reported case of such an occurrence in the literature.
    Conclusion: Due to the advancements in computer topography (CT) imaging many internal and Spigelian hernias are diagnosed pre-operatively though these scan are not always available or indicated in cases of suspected small bowel obstruction. Due to the high mortality rate of undiagnosed internal hernias a high clinical suspicion must be maintained. The authors recommend laparoscopic trans-abdominal repair of Spigelian hernias in order to examine the abdominal contents and exclude rare, though potentially serious internal hernias.

    Abstract Introduction: Transmesenteric herniae are a rare cause of bowel ischaemia in adults with few reported cases in published literature.
    Presentation of case: We report a rare case of a 26-year-old female with spontaneous transmesenteric hernia of jejunum and proximal ileum due to a congenital mesenteric defect resulting in bowel gangrene, presenting initially with no haemodynamic or biochemical abnormalities. The hernia was reduced, small bowel resected and primary side to side anastomosis performed, following which the patient made a good recovery and was discharged 5 days later.
    Discussion: The insidious onset of transmesenteric herniae and lack of specific radiological or laboratory investigations reaffirms the importance of surgeons maintaining a high index of suspicion for this critical surgical emergency.
    Conclusion: Close monitoring of the patient's general condition in cases of non-specific abdominal pain is essential to identify the rare deteriorating patient for early surgical intervention and optimal outcome.
