Gastric ulcer due to mucormycosis in a critical patient.

We have read the article published by Sánchez-Velázquez P et al., which described a clinical case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to gastric ulcer due to Mucor. We present a similar clinical case, as an example of one identified by gastroscopy.

The rebleeding rate in patients evaluated for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding after negative small bowel findings by device assisted enteroscopy.

Background: data on the long-term outcome of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) with positive small bowel findings in capsule endoscopy but negative small bowel findings in device-assisted enteroscopy are scarce.

Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the rebleeding rate and time to rebleed in patients with no small bowel findings in enteroscopy, after a positive capsule endoscopy in the setting of OGIB. Baseline predictors for rebleeding were assessed.

Recurrent small-bowel bleeding from a Dieulafoy's lesion after combined endoscopic treatment.

Introduction: Dieulafoy's lesion of the small bowel is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding that often recurs after endoscopic treatment.

Material And Methods: we report an observational, descriptive, retrospective, single-center study in 15 patients with small bowel bleeding who were diagnosed with a Dieulafoy's lesion by capsule endoscopy or double-balloon enteroscopy.

Results And Conclusions: all patients underwent combined endoscopic treatment.

Rhabdoid cavitated adenocarcinoma in the jejunum, an exceptional case by enteroscopy.

We have read the article published by Abdulkader I et al., which described two cases of a rhabdoid tumor of the small bowel diagnosed by surgery. We present a similar case in the jejunum diagnosed by double balloon enteroscopy (DBE).

A degenerate Todani Ia choledochal cyst in a patient with pancreas divisum.

Bile duct cysts represent congenital abnormalities associated with biliopancreatic maljunction that may undergo malignant degeneration. We report herein the case of a 72-year-old male patient with cholangitis. MR-cholangiography and abdominal CT revealed a mass at the biliary-pancreatic-duodenal crossroads, extrahepatic biliary dilation up to 38 mm, and pancreas divisum.
