ABSTRACT
The presence of situs inversus (SI) causes difficulty in the repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF). We report two cases: the first infant had situs SI abdominis with a right-sided aortic arch and the second had situs inversus totalis. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of repair of EA/TEF in a patient with SI.

Anomalous pancreaticobiliary union (APBU) has varied presentations. We report the case of a 12-year-old female who presented with biliary peritonitis due to a perforation of the common bile duct due to impaction of a pancreatic calculus at the duodenal papilla. She had a long common-biliary channel and pancreas divisum with chronic calcific pancreatitis involving the pancreatic head and neck. To our knowledge, this is the first such reported case in the literature.

Primary lymphedema of the penis (PLP) is a rare disease. We report a case in a 2-year-old, uncircumcised boy where the uninvolved inner preputial skin was unfurled to cover the penile shaft. The uninvolved inner preputial skin is often elongated, and provides a suture-free cover of sufficient length for the small penile shaft of pediatric patients.
