Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) of the small bowel is a rare
gastrointestinal tumour. We report a case of gastrointestinal
bleeding secondary to small bowel ES in a 55-year-old
gentleman. After gastroscopy and colonoscopy failed to
identify the source of bleeding, we proceeded with
computed tomography angiogram of the mesentery, which
revealed intraluminal blood clot in the distal jejunum with
features of obstruction. This is a rare cause of obscure
gastrointestinal bleeding and emphasises the need for
additional evaluation in the presence of negative
endoscopic findings.

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a well known
complication of blunt trauma to the abdomen and thorax. In
the acute setting, laparotomy is mandatory. In this current
era, this condition can be managed with minimally invasive
surgery. We hereby report a case of delayed large left
diaphragmatic hernia that was repaired with a combination
of laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approach.

Ectopic variceal bleeding is both a diagnostic dilemma and
a therapeutic challenge, especially when it is located in the
third part of the duodenum. Varix is rare in the absence of
cirrhosis or portal hypertension. Because the diagnosis of
this condition is usually delayed, treatment is administered
late resulting in high morbidity and mortality rate. We report
a case of a 61-year-old lady with an idiopathic duodenal
varix presenting as an upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
5.Axillary accessory breast carcinoma masquerading as axillary abscess: a case report

Accessory breast is a frequently seen developmental breast
abnormality, commoner among Asians than Caucasians.
This ectopic breast tissue shares many similarities as the
normal breast tissue, and although subjected to the same
pathological processes, accessory breast carcinoma is rare.
As locations of the accessory breast may be variable,
detection of pathological lesions through clinical
examinations and standard diagnostic tools (i.e.,
mammogram) can be difficult. Staging and management
should be tailored-made according to the location of the
accessory breast as well as its known pattern of lymphatic
drainage. We report a case of an intra-ductal carcinoma
occurring in an axillary accessory breast.
