Fulminant necrotising amoebic colitis is a complication of
untreated amoebiasis. This is seen in mainly low-income
countries. It has a high mortality rate and is difficult to
diagnose. We present an extremely rare case of fulminant
necrotising amoebic colitis that caused diagnostic
confusion in mimicking an acute abdomen, presumably
caused by a perforated duodenal ulcer.

This is a case of a posterior mediastinal mass in an
asymptomatic gentleman, which was resected successfully
and he has been disease free for more than a year of follow
up. The histopathology findings happen to be a rare
occurrence.

Meckel’s diverticulitis or Meckel’s associated pathology
frequently presents in childhood with gastrointestinal
bleeding. It is rarely seen in adults. It is a congenital
abnormality that commonly goes undetected. We present a
case of a perforated Meckel’s diverticulum due to fishbone
ingestion in an elderly gentleman. The aim of this case
report is to highlight the rare presentation of a perforation in
a Meckel’s diverticulum due to an extrinsic pathology and to
outline diagnostic and management options in cases of
Meckel’s diverticulum.
