Gastric glomus tumor with uncertain malignant potential: case report of a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
World J Surg Oncol
November 2024
Department of Surgery, Albert Szent-Györgyi Health Center, University of Szeged, Semmelweis Street 8, Szeged, H-6725, Hungary.
Article Synopsis
- Glomus tumors (GTs) are mostly benign neoplasms found in the upper gastrointestinal tract, making malignant cases exceptionally rare, which complicates diagnosis due to similarities with other tumors.
- A 52-year-old male patient experienced fatigue and bleeding, leading to the discovery of a gastric GT after multiple examinations, with histopathology confirming it as a potentially malignant tumor.
- The case highlights the need for detailed histopathological and molecular analysis for correct diagnosis and stresses the importance of surgical intervention and long-term monitoring for recurrence and malignancy risks.
Large Neuroendocrine Neoplasms of the Duodenum: Description of Two Rare Subtypes and Technical Details on Surgical Treatment.

October 2024
Department of Surgery, San Giovanni Addolorata Hospital, 00184 Rome, Italy.
Background: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are uncommon, accounting for less than 4% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. Prognosis is related to tumoral staging and grading, as well as to the specific subtype. In this article, we retrospectively describe the clinical presentation and surgical treatment of two rare large duodenal NETs: a high-grade G3 NET and a Gangliocytic Paraganglioma (GP).

Intest Res
August 2024
Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Saga University, Saga, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old man with a long history of ulcerative colitis experienced sudden acute epigastric pain, leading to a medical examination that revealed eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
- After initial treatment with steroids proved ineffective, the patient was given vedolizumab, which successfully alleviated his symptoms and showed significant improvement in both conditions during follow-up examinations.
- The study suggests that vedolizumab, known for treating ulcerative colitis, may also be a viable treatment option for eosinophilic gastroenteritis due to the shared mechanism of targeting eosinophils.
A Case of Gastroallergic and Intestinal Anisakiasis in Italy: Diagnosis Based on Double Endoscopy and Molecular Identification.
Pathogens
September 2023
Department of Public Health and Infectious Diseases, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy.
Nematodes of the genus (Rhabditida, Anisakidae) are zoonotic fish-borne parasites and cause anisakiasis, a disease with mild to severe acute or chronic gastrointestinal and allergic symptoms and signs. Anisakiasis can potentially lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis, and it has been suggested as a risk factor for gastrointestinal tumors. Here, we describe a case report of a 25-year-old woman who presented with gastrointestinal (abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea) and allergic (diffuse skin rash) symptoms and reported ingestion of raw fish contaminated by worms.
