A 29-year-old nulliparous woman presented with an acute abdomen. She had a large uterus with multiple fibroids and was on the waiting list for elective surgery. An urgent CT scan demonstrated an extensive intraperitoneal fluid collection suspicious for fibroid rupture. She required an emergency laparotomy which identified a rupture of the largest degenerative fibroid. There was 2 Litres of pus in the peritoneal cavity. This case was a rare presentation of spontaneous fibroid rupture due to degeneration and necrosis, and acute abdomen from peritoneal irritation.

Surgical Emergencies

Surgical emergencies caused by bowel metastases from carcinoma of the lung are very rare. We describe two cases of symptomatic gastrointestinal metastatic small cell carcinoma: the first one concerns a 69-year-old man with an acute abdomen and the second is a 72-year-old man complaining of a gastric ulcer symptoms. We also discuss the current management and the prognosis of these patients.

Abstract: Enterobius vermicularis is an intestinal nematode commonly affecting children worldwide. Its transmission is by feco-oral route. Meckel's diverticulitis due to E. vermicularis infestation is an extremely rare presentation. An 11-year-old boy presented with acute abdomen. During surgery inflamed Meckel's diverticulum (M.D) was seen. Histopathology examination of specimen revealed E. vermicularis. Till date, only one case of E. vermicularis infestation of M.D is reported around five decades ago. This histopathological confirmation is extremely important as the required treatment (Mebendazole) of the infected case along with household contacts can prevent the spread of infection and may avoid surgery in known contacts.
