Ruptured spleen is not uncommon in trauma and some surgical procedures in upper abdomen. Splenic rupture after hysterectomy is exceedingly rare occurrence. However it should be considered as part of diagnostic workup in any unstable post hysterectomy subject with high degree of suspicion along with other differential diagnosis.

A metastatic deposit from renal cell carcinoma into the jejunal wall is a rare phenomenon. Among the frequent modes of presentation, bleeding, obstruction and unexplained anaemia are commonly seen. In addition to the conventional contrast studies and computerized tomography (CT), Capsule endoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool. Factors responsible for resistant behaviour of jejunal wall are still not clear, however when it happens it is really a diagnostic challenge. We are reporting this rare case of solitary jejunal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.
