We report a case of Mirizzi syndrome type II associated with biliary enteric fistula. It is important to identify this combination early, as it is associated with high morbidity. In our case, intraoperative findings were cholecystoduodenal fistula and communication of Hartmann’s pouch with common bile duct (CBD). A subtotal cholecystectomy with excision of cholecystoduodenal fistula was performed. A minimal surgical maneuver of Calot’s Triangle with repair of cholecystoduodenal fistula is required during the intraoperative period.

Wandering spleen or hypermobile spleen results from the elongation or maldevelopment of the spleen’s suspensory ligaments. It is a rare clinical entity that mainly affects children. Among adults, it is most commonly found in females of active reproductive age. It may present as an asymptomatic mass in the abdomen, or it may present with intermittent abdominal discomfort because of torsion and spontaneous detorsion of the spleen. We present the case of a 37-year-old female who had features of intestinal obstruction with mass per abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy showed an infarcted spleen. A total splenectomy was performed.
