Background Penile metastases are very rare and arise most frequently from genitourinary cancers. Penile metastases from rectal adenocarcinoma are less common. Case presentation We report the case of a 47-year-old North Afican man with penile metastases from a rectal adenocarcinoma, which was discovered 4 months after abdominoperineal resection. A penile biopsy was carried out and established the metastatic nature. He underwent palliative chemotherapy treatment. He was still alive 4 months after diagnosis of penile metastases. Conclusion The prognosis of metastasis to the penis is very poor; the best results have been achieved with surgery but only for lesions where metastasis is limited to the penis.

Small bowel diaphragm disease is a rare condition usually associated with the prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and that can be mistaken and treated as other pathologies. We describe a case of a 64-year-old man with a prolonged course of pain and subacute bowel obstructions, without any history of NSAID usage, found to have a multiple diaphragmatic stricture in the small bowel.

Mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse can cause some serious mesh-related complications. Mesh migration into close viscera following rectopexy is rare. We report three cases of mesh migration after mesh rectopexy treated in our unit. The first patient presented with purulent discharge from the buttock 15 years after the rectopexy, the second patient presented with abdominal pain and pneumaturia also 15 years after the rectopexy and the third patient presented 22 years after the rectopexy with vaginal discharge. Diagnosis was made by physical examination, computed tomography scan, magnetic resonance imaging, cystoscopy or rectoscopy. The three patients underwent total removal of the meshes without any complications.

Small bowel tumors are rare, rating between 1% and 6% of all gastrointestinal tumors [1]. The association of small bowel tumor is reported in Crohn's disease (CD) [2]. We report a case of a 40-year-old female patient with a history of Hemorrhagic Recto-colitis admitted for an occlusive small bowel tumor, treated by a carcinologic resection.

Diverticulosis of the small intestine in adults is rare [1], it is much less frequent in the jejunum than in the colon [2], the main complication of jejunal diverticulosis is perforation. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient in whom a proximal jejunal diverticulum was discovered incidentally.
