Blastoid mantle cell lymphoma (B-MCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin characterized by high proliferation index poor prognosis. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement, which common in systemic (MCL), rarely presents as an isolated lesion. Herein, we describe unique case B-MCL presenting cecal mass. The patient experienced acute-onset abdominal pain melena was found to have wall thickening on imaging, with regional lymphadenopathy. Colonoscopy revealed large ulcerated...

Gastric pneumatosis (GP) is a rare finding. It can be seen with both gastric emphysema (GE) and emphysematous gastritis (EG); however, conditions present similarly differentiating between the 2 difficult radiographically. Moreover, treatment vastly different for conditions, in which GE focused on supportive care while EG may even involve gastrectomy. Making distinction crucial because has benign clinical course, carries significant mortality. Early endoscopy useful tool to guide further...

The etiology of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) syndrome or hyperplastic polyps (HPs) is not fully understood. We report a case HP arising in patient treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) for GAVE syndrome. Despite unclear etiologic progression, this and previously reported cases suggest temporal relationship between the treatment HP.

Trichuriasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trichuris trichiura that spreads through the ingestion of embryonated eggs in contaminated soil, water, or food. In nonendemic areas, T infestation very rare and sporadic often diagnosed immigrants from endemic countries such as Philippines. Whipworms feed on human blood also erode colonic mucosa, thereby evoking an inflammatory response. milder forms, trichuriasis can be asymptomatic incidental diagnosis screening colonoscopy.

Introduction: Acute gastric dilatation (AGD) is a massive distension of the stomach caused by accumulation gas, secretions, or food material. AGD radiological diagnosis with no clear etiopathogenesis and often misdiagnosed owing to lack diagnostic criteria physician awareness. Case Presentation: In this case series, we describe clinical presentations outcomes 4 patients AGD. Three (75%) were female, one (25%) was male. The patients’ ages ranged from 53 84 years, an average age 73.5 years....

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are mucin producing tumors which arise from epithelial cells of the main pancreatic duct, branch ducts, or both. They characterized by mucin-producing columnar cells, ductal proliferation, cyst formation, and varying degrees dysplasia. IPMNs classified as duct based upon anatomy IPMN is arising from. Additionally, they can be on their histologic subtypes, carry associations with dysplasia and/or malignancy. Many patients have incidentally...

Acute gastric volvulus is a surgical emergency that requires urgent intervention to prevent ischemia and necrosis. Gastric manifests as an abnormal rotation or torsion of the stomach may be associated with outlet obstruction. This pathology can classified either mesentero-axial organo-axial volvulus, depending on axis rotation. Similarly, it categorized primary secondary, etiology. We describe case 63-year-old female history peptic ulcer disease who presented severe epigastric pain vomiting...

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN) of the pancreas are extremely rare epithelial tumors with low malignant potential. They account for only 1-2% pancreatic lesions. These masses often go unnoticed and when they become symptomatic it is due to mass effect on neighboring structures. We encountered an unusual presentation in a healthy 34-year-old female who was found have elevated dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) testosterone levels during evaluation irregular menses. Subsequent abdominal...
