ABSTRACT
There have been few reports of manifestations such as vasculitis, nephrosis, neuritis, encephalitis, and serum sickness occuring in a temporal relation to insect stings. Symptoms usually start several days to several weeks after the sting and may last for a long time. Angioedema with eosinophilia induced by bee sting has not reported in medical literature. We report a case of eosinophilia with angioedema induced by bee venom in a 30-year-old woman whom presented with edema of extremities and peripheral blood eosinophilia. The patient had high titer of specific IgE to yellow jacket venom.

Adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve is rare. It's clinical manifestations are non-specific such as intestinal intussusception, obstruction and right lower abdominal discomfort according to type of cancer. Particularly infiltrative type carcinoma of the ileocecal valve may be easily misdiagnosed as inflammatory bowel disease by radiological imagings and clinical symptoms. We experienced one case of adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve mimiking inflammatory bowel disease in radiological features. Colonoscopic findings also could not differentiate malignancy with chronic inflammatory condition. We report a case of adenocarcinoma of the ileocecal valve, which endoscopic findings mimic chronic inflammatory disease, with a review of literature.
