A 15-month-old boy was discovered to have internal female genitalia during an operation for bilateral inguinal hernia. The biopsies showed normal testicular tissue and the karyotyping result was 46XY, so the diagnosis of persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) was made. At the second operation, the uterine fundus and fallopian tubes were excised. Then, he underwent bilateral orchiopexy. We discuss a rare presentation of this disorder, its management, and genetic implications together with a review of the literature.

Mesenteric lipomas are benign tumors of mature fat cells. They are usually asymptomatic and create a clinical picture that depends on the localization and size of the lipoma. Although rare, unusually large mesenteric giant lipomas can cause partial or complete bowel obstruction. Lipomas resulting in partial bowel obstruction can present with symptoms such as intermittent abdominal pain and abdominal distention. With complete obstruction, a child can present with an acute abdomen. Treatment is the excision of the mass along with the affected portion of bowel. In this case study, a 2-year-old female presented with a bowel obstruction due to the presence of a giant mesenteric lipoma. Clinical features of 16 cases published in the English literature to date are presented.

We report the case of a 5-year old girl, who presented with a true ulnar artery aneurysm, and the aetiology, clinical presentation and treatment of the disease.

We present a case of incisional enteric mucocele formation 10 years following colostomy closure. The patient was admitted to the hospital with the symptoms of an abdominal wall mass lying on previously closed colostomy incision. Clinical presentation, diagnostic work up and pathology of the case were discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first abdominal wall mucocele after colostomy closure reported in the literature.
