Gastric adenomyoma (GA) is a rare benign lesion, most frequently found in the pyloric/antral region of the stomach. It consists of a mixture of smooth muscle and glandular structures, occasionally cystically dilated, lined by tall columnar epithelium, Brunner’s glands, and sometimes pancreatic parenchyma. In this report, we describe an unusual case of adenomyoma of the fundus of the stomach, wh...

Gastric heterotopia is very rare in the rectum - less than 50 cases have been reported so far. Only in six of them Helicobacter pylori has been observed in heterotopic mucosa. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with asymptomatic gastric heterotopia in the rectum, incidentally revealed during colonoscopy as a small, sessile polyp. The presence of H. pylori was confirmed by immunohistochemis...

RATIONALE Heterotopic gastric mucosa has been described at various locations of the body; however, the polyp composed of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the small intestine is rare. PATIENT CONCERNS A 15-year-old boy visited us for investigation of recurrent episodes of melena. Capsule endoscopy (CE) revealed a polypoid tumor in the ileum, with an active nearby hemorrhage. Contrast-enhanced com...

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of computed tomography (CT) imaging finding of a gastric IFP with massive fibrosis. CT scans showed thickening of submucosal layer with overlying mucosal hyperenhancement in the gastric antrum. The submucosal layer showed increased enhancement on delayed phase imaging. An antrectomy with gas...

Abstract Background Preoperative differentiation between neoplastic and nonneoplastic gallbladder polyps, the subsequent indication for cholecystectomy remains a clinical dilemma. The current 1 cm size threshold neoplasia is unspecific. aim of this study was to improve diagnostic work-up polyps using sonographic MRI characteristics polyps. Methods A prospective, exploratory including patients u...

A 54-year-old man with adenocarcinoma of the stomach in remission after partial gastric resection, lymphadenectomy, Roux-en-Y, and radiochemotherapy presented with 2 days of hematochezia. Colonoscopy showed a 10-mm patelliform, wide-based polyp with central scarring and partial ulcerated surface in the descending colon just below the splenic flexure (Figure 1). Because of the lesion’s special a...
