Spontaneous peeled ileal giant lipoma caused by lower gastrointestinal bleeding

RATIONALE Gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (SETs) with endoscopic features such as ulceration, a red color change, a peeled mucosal layer, and spontaneous bleeding could have malignant potential. However, we encountered a case of a lipoma that presented features different from the generally known features of gastrointestinal SETs. Therefore, we report an interesting rare case of a terminal...

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]....
