Résumé
In patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections could aggravate the course of IBD but it is difficult to distinguish CMV infection from IBD exacerbation endoscopically. Usually, CMV tends to localize to the colon and other organic involvements were reported very rare in the IBD patients. Herein, we report a case that CMV gastric ulcer complicated with pyloric obstruction in a patient with ulcerative colitis during ganciclovir therapy, which was resolved by surgical gastrojejunostomy with review of literature.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by massive tissue infiltration of eosinophils in the tissue layers of various areas of the gastrointestinal tract. An accurate diagnosis is difficult as clinical presentations, symptoms, endoscopic and radiologic findings are nonspecific. A 51-year-old man visited our hospital presenting with abdominal pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed diffuse hyperemic mucosal lesions at the stomach, duodenum. Symptoms and endoscopic findings deteriorated rapidly after three days. Small amounts of eosinophilic infiltration without malignant cells was confirmed from biopsy. However, we could not exclude malignancy and performed a subtotal gastrectomy. Stomach specimen showed eosinophilic infiltrations, and the patient was finally diagnosed as eosinophilic gastroenteritis. We report a case of atypical eosinophilic gastritis with rapid deterioration mimicking Borrmann type 4 advanced gastric cancer.

Overlap of autoimmune hepatitis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a comparatively rare condition. Although both autoimmune hepatitis and SLE can share common autoimmune features such as polyarthralgia, hypergammaglobulinemia and positive ANA, it has been considered as two different entities. We report a case of anti-LKM1 positive autoimmune hepatitis who developed SLE two years later. The presence of interface hepatitis with lymphoplasma cell infiltrates and rosette formation points to the autoimmune hepatitis rather than SLE hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is infrequently accompanied by SLE, therefore, it could be recommended to investigate for SLE in patients with autoimmune hepatitis.

We report a case of gastric adenoma which was found incidentally on 18F-FDG PET/CT study for cancer screening in asymptomatic patient. It showed focal and intensely increased FDG uptake in the antrum of stomach. On the gastroduodenoscopy, it showed flat elevated lesion with irregular margin. Histologically, the lesion was confirmed gastric adenoma with high grade dysplasia and removed by endoscopic mucosal resection.

The growing popularity of eating raw fish has resulted in increase of certain human parasitic infection, such as diphyllobothriasis. Even though, upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy reveal no specific abnormality, if a patient complains of persistent abdominal pain, we should consider the possibility of parasitic infection. Careful history taking and stool examination can avoid further invasive study. We report a case of Diphyllobothrium latum infection in a patient with vague abdominal pain who showed normal finding on endoscopy.
