ABSTRACT
A 77-year-old male patient with heart disease, kidney disease under study, and quiescent multiple myeloma. He presented a 2 years history of weight loss and digestive symptoms. In the endoscopic study, multiple gastric ulcers were observed, whose histological study ruled out the initial suspicion. The patient died a month later from refractory shock.
ABSTRACT
An 82-year-old woman who presented with obstructive jaundice and constitutional syndrome was diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Palliative management was decided with endoscopic ultrasound drainage as it was impossible to perform ERCP due to anatomical alterations, a consequence of the neoplastic lesion.

We herein report the case of a 54-year-old male patient with a human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection, usually with low viral loads and CD4 cells < 200-100/mm3 due to thymic exhaustion. He was referred to our clinic because of hypertransaminasemia and cholestasis of a duration of 58 months and liver cirrhosis on FibroScan® without esophageal varices. Nonspecific manifestations included weight loss. Liver disease stigmata and generalized amyotrophy were also present.
