A 15-month-old female was incidentally found to have foreign bodies in the left upper quadrant on chest and abdominal imaging. She had no witnessed ingestion or gastrointestinal symptoms. Subsequent esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed 11 magnets, which formed a gastric mucosa fistula making endoscopic removal difficult. This case highlights the dangers of high-powered magnets and the unique challenges they can pose to endoscopists.

A 61-year-old male presented with hematemesis and melena. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirmed mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in the posterior wall of the gastric antrum, prompting further evaluation with F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). In addition to elevated uptake in the gastric antrum, F-FDG PET/CT showed diffuse uptake in multiple bone marrow, initially suspected to indicate bone marrow involvement by lymphoma.

-associated gastritis (HPAG) is a common condition of the gastrointestinal tract. However, extensive and long-term antibiotic use has resulted in numerous adverse effects, including increased resistance, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and increased recurrence rates. When these concerns develop, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may have advantages.

Gastric Linitis plastica is characterized by extensive infiltration of gastric wall by poorly differentiated tumor cells, creating a "leather-bottle stomach" appearance. We describe a case involving a 71-year-old male presenting with globus sensation, early satiety and weight loss. Recent EGD had revealed chronic gastritis with polypoid mucosa at the GE junction, and subsequent FDG-PET indicated asymmetric FDG localization.

Lymphocytic gastritis (LG) is a rare form of gastritis characterized by lymphocytosis in the gastric mucosa, while microscopic colitis (MC) is the chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine with lymphocytic or collagenous colitis as two distinct histologic forms. These lymphocytic disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) have various associations, commonly gluten-sensitive enteropathy, infection and while others are less commonly associated. We report a case of a 24-year-old patient with concomitant lymphocytic gastritis and microscopic colitis diagnosed via histopathologic analysis of tissue specimens from stomach and colon.
