Metastatic Testicular Choriocarcinoma: A Rare Cause of Upper GI Bleeding
We present a case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in an otherwise healthy 18-year-old man who presented with melena. Endoscopy revealed an ulcerated mass in the stomach and pathology confirmed this to be a malignant, poorly differentiated choriocarcinoma. Further imaging showed a left testicular mass with evidence of pulmonary, gastric, and brain metastases, and blood tests revealed an hCG l...
متن کاملIdiopathic Colonic Varices: A Rare Cause of Recurrent Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Colonoscopy was significant for diverticulosis, the presence of small nonbleeding colonic angioectasia, and a nonspecific mucosa vascular pattern in the rectosigmoid, transverse, and ascending colon consistent with varicosities (Figure 1). Biopsy revealed moderate congestion and inflammation without signs of angiodysplasia or colitis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy did not reveal esophageal varices...
متن کاملColonic Varices Due to Chronic Pancreatitis: A Rare Cause of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding
A 75-year-old man with chronic pancreatitis presented with painless bloody stool. Computed tomography revealed a splenic vein occlusion with several collaterals towards the descending colon. Colonoscopy showed tortuous varices in the descending colon, which suggested recent bleeding. Sinistral portal hypertension (SPH) due to chronic pancreatitis was diagnosed, so splenectomy and distal pancrea...
متن کاملEsophageal Dieulafoy's lesion: an exceedingly rare cause of massive upper GI bleeding
Dieulafoy's lesion, a dilated aberrant submucosal vessel which erodes the overlying epithelium, is a relatively rare but potentially fatal cause of gastrointestinal (Gl) bleeding. The esophagus is a very rare location for the lesion. Here we present a case of massive upper GI bleeding, secondary to this remarkably rare occurrence, which was amendable to endoscopic intervention.
متن کاملIleal mucormycosis: a rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding
Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection, often seen in immunocompromised patients. Stomach is the most common site involved in gastrointestinal mucormycosis, followed by colon and ileum [1]. Early diagnosis is based on the histological picture, since culture is difficult. Culture is positive in only 30% of surgical specimens and only 52% of autopsy cases [2]....
