The diagnosis of adult Hirschsprung disease (HD) is rare, furthermore there are only 3 or 4 cases of adult ultrashort segment HD (USHD) reported previously in English literature to our knowledge. Herein, we present a case of a 22-year-old female presented with long standing history of constipation and abdominal distension secondary to USHD. Imaging modalities included plain abdominal X-ray, ultrasound (USG) and computed tomography (CT) scan which collectively aided in establishing the diagnosis. Through this case report, we aim to emphasize that HD should be suspected in every adult population with chronic constipation. Also, it highlights the role of CT scan as how it should be the preferred diagnostic tool for suspected adult HD, as, not only it helps correctly identify the transition zone but rule out other possible causes of chronic obstruction.

Synchronous existence of hepatic, splenic, and skeletal hemangiomas has not been reported previously in the English literature to our knowledge. In this case report, we present a case of coexistence of hepatic, splenic, and skeletal hemangiomas in a 30-year-old woman with on and off bilateral lumbar region pain and no significant past medical history. Radiological investigations, including ultrasound and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging helped identify the synchronous existence of hepatic, splenic, and skeletal hemangiomas. The patient improved with conservative management and was kept on follow-ups. Although there have been reports of coexistence of splenic and hepatic hemangiomas in the literature, to our knowledge, this is the first report of synchronous existence of hepatic, splenic, and skeletal hemangiomas.
