Gastric neuroendocrine tumour, atrophic gastritis and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia: a case report and review.

Gastric neuroendocrine tumours are rare. We describe a unique case of a 66-year-old male patient who presented with shortness of breath and malaise, eventually attributed to severe autoimmune haemolysis in the context of atrophic gastritis and multiple type-1 gastric neuroendocrine tumours. The patient had also positive anti-cardiolipin antibodies.

Persistent Afebrile Abdominal Pain: An Unusual Case of Segmental Colitis in an Immunocompromised Host.

Unlabelled: In this report we describe a case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea.

After endoscopy and biopsy, the mass lesion was attributed to "double hit" diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, categorized as high grade large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma according to the most recent revised 2016 World Health Organisation classification and considered to be a rare and highly aggressive tumor.
