Most gastric are associated Helicobacter pylori infection We present a case patient who was found to have 16 cm ulcer on endoscopy that favored diagnosis DLBCL. Case Description/Methods: A 78-year-old man history prostate carcinoma status post radiation, squamous cell left ear resection, and kidney clear...
Introduction: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and life-threatening condition that results from the overstimulation of immune system, leading to systemic inflammation multi-organ failure. Primary HLH predominantly caused by genetic mutations impair cytotoxic activity natural killer cells, presents in infancy childhood. Secondary can be associated with an inciting cause dysregulation, such as malignancy, immunodeficiency, autoimmune disease, or infection. very manifest...
Introduction: Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a vascular tumor primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals and associated with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection. While cutaneous lesions are the most common presentation, gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement can also occur. GI-KS be asymptomatic or lead to symptoms like GI bleeding, dysphagia, pain. Massive bleeding from rare. Here, we present case of patient AIDS who was diagnosed Kaposi KS after presenting melena. Case...
Introduction: Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), referred to as Ogilvie’s syndrome, is a poorly understood condition in which there distention the absence of underlying mechanical obstruction. ACPO may be caused by electrolyte derangements and medications that alter gut motility. Untreated can lead devastating complications including ischemia, perforation, peritonitis. Complication risk increases directly with duration illness cecal diameter. We present case patient known history...
Introduction: Segmental colitis associated with diverticulosis (SCAD) is an inflammatory process that affects colonic luminal mucosa between diverticula. Patients typically have resolution of symptoms spontaneously or following 5-aminosalicylate treatment (5-ASA). We present a case SCAD complicated by development abscess, stricture, and bowel obstruction requiring endoscopic surgical intervention.
