ABSTRACT
Neurofibromas are tumors of neural origin. They can be solitary or may be associated with neurofibromatosis type-1 [NF-1]. These are mostly seen in the head and neck region, upper extremities or along the nerves. Visceral neurofibromas are extremely rare. In this paper, we present an unusual case of solitary neurofibroma of the adrenal gland not associated with NF-1

Cap polyposis [CP] is an under recognized form of non-neoplastic colonic polyps, characterised by the presence of inflammatory polyps with a distinct "cap" of granulation tissue. CP is often seen masquerading as chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The most common symptoms are mucoid diarrhoea, bloody stools, abdominal pain, and tenesmus. In this case report, we present a patient who was diagnosed with CP during the investigation of unexplained chronic long standing anemia secondary to intermittent rectal bleeding. CP, although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with intermittent rectal bleeding and mucoid diarrhoea
