Ectopic Craniopharyngioma Recurrence: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Craniopharyngiomas are tumors of the central nervous system, typically located in the sellar/parasellar region. Despite being benign, they behave aggressively due to their propensity to invade nearby important structures, making total resection challenging. Distant spread of craniopharyngioma is a rare but significant complication.

Germ cell tumor with duodenal involvement: a rare case of gastrointestinal bleeding.

A 19-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a 7-day history of melena, anorexia and asthenia. Blood tests revealed a hemoglobin of 5.8 g/dL.

An uncommon colonic polyp.

A 50-year-old male was referred to a Gastroenterology appointment after a screening colonoscopy with a 25mm exophytic lesion, with a depressed central area, on the transverse colon. Histologic examination of the biopsy specimen showed low-grade dysplasia. The patient was submitted to a new colonoscopy and what was seen was a flat lesion with central depression, with no lift-sign (Figure 1a and 1b) and, therefore, endoscopic resection was not performed.

A rare cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.

A 62-year-old woman was referred to Gastroenterology appointment due to severe iron deficiency anemia (5.9 g/dL), complaining of asthenia and requiring blood transfusion. The patient denied blood loss.
