Jejunal diverticulosis is a rare condition that is oftentimes asymptomatic but can lead to serious complications such as perforation,
hemorrhage, or obstruction. Due to its nonspecific presentation, perforated jejunal diverticulitis is frequently misdiagnosed, resulting in delayed
management and increased morbidity.

Hepatobiliary tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and is usually secondary to tuberculosis of the lungs or gastrointestinal
tract. Diagnosis is difficult in many situations because of its rarity and presentation in the form of non-specific symptoms and signs and lack of any defined criteria
on imaging studies. Histopathological examination is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Recommended treatment is with conventional antituberculous drugs
and surgical intervention is rare.
