We report the case of a 14-year-old patient with a known history of Crohn's disease who was incidentally diagnosed with an asymptomatic cecal lipoma. A routine surveillance colonoscopy as part of the management of the patient's Crohn's Disease revealed a well-defined, submucosal, yellowish mass in the patient's cecum. Histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen revealed submucosal adipose tissue, consistent with the endoscopic images showing the characteristic appearance of the lipoma.

- The study investigates the use of Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC) versus traditional endotracheal intubation for endoscopic removal of esophageal foreign bodies (EFBs) in children, noting a trend towards MAC in elective procedures.
- A retrospective analysis of 326 patients showed that 77% were initially planned for MAC and only a small percentage required conversion to intubation, indicating MAC's viability as an airway management option.
- Results demonstrated that factors like the type of foreign body (e.g., coins) and longer fasting times influenced the choice of anesthesia method, with MAC being preferred in more cases.*
We report a 3-year-old patient with suspected oropharyngeal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) who developed progressive dysphagia to solids and liquids. The patient has a history of Dyskeratosis Congenita-Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson Syndrome with associated bone marrow failure requiring a nonmyeloablative matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Esophagram revealed significant narrowing in the cricopharyngeal region.
