Article Abstract
Internal hernias through a defect in the broad ligament is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction and most often the finding is intra-operative. What makes it rare is when the hernia occurs through a congenital defect in the broad ligament. We present the case of a 48-year-old female patient operated on an emergency basis for intestinal obstruction and intra-operatively the cause was identified to be a herniated ileal loop through a defect in the broad ligament. There was no history of any prior abdominal surgery or any interventions and all of her children were born by normal vaginal delivery, making it a case of congenital broad ligament defect. The postoperative period was uneventful and she was discharged in good health.

Purpose Of Review: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is understood to be a condition where compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament (MAL) may lead to symptoms of postprandial or exercise-induced abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, oral aversion, and weight loss. This review summarizes recent literature on pediatric MALS while highlighting the challenges, comorbidities, and controversies encountered in this condition.
Recent Findings: The pathophysiologic mechanism by which MALS leads to pain is currently unknown.

A 4-year-old, 0.81 kg, female intact, American guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was presented for a one-day history of perianal swelling. Physical examination revealed a body condition score of 2 out of 9, a distended abdomen that was painful on palpation, an abnormal vulvar conformation that was enlarged, edematous, ulcerated, and erythematous with adhered foreign material, and a 1 × 1 cm firm mass of the right mammary gland.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized ovum implants outside the uterine cavity, most commonly in the fallopian tube. While rare, ectopic pregnancies can also occur in atypical locations such as the ovary, cervix, abdominal cavity, or broad ligament, often posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a highly unusual case of ectopic pregnancy implanted in the left labium majus, a site not previously documented in the literature.

Background: Leiomyomas or fibroids commonly originate from the uterus; extrauterine leiomyomas are rare and most often arise from the broad ligament. Diagnosing broad ligament leiomyomas becomes particularly challenging when they undergo degenerative changes because their clinical and radiological features often mimic those of ovarian tumors. We report a rare case of a giant broad ligament fibroid with cystic degeneration, which was initially mistaken for an ovarian mass.
