RESUMEN
A 36-year-old man with familial adenomatous polyposis secondary to an adenomatous polyposis coli mutation status post proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis presented with hematochezia. Pouchoscopy revealed a 4-cm indurated mass in the distal ileal pouch just 17 months after a normal pouchoscopy. Histopathology was diagnostic for Burkitt lymphoma, and the patient achieved complete remission with subsequent chemotherapy. Although there are reports of Burkitt lymphoma in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, to date, this is the first report in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis. This case highlights the presentation of a rapidly enlarging tumor not commonly seen in the adult gastroenterology population.

OBJECTIVES: Vulnerable, urban populations with a history of substance use disorders have a high prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Primary care-based treatment has been proposed to improve access to care. In this study, we present outcomes from our urban, primary care-based HCV treatment program in patients treated with telaprevir or boceprevir in combination with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin ("triple therapy"). METHODS: We collected data from 126 consecutive patients with genotype 1 HCV monoinfection seen in our treatment program (2011-2013). Among the 40 who initiated treatment, we analyzed factors associated with achieving a sustained viral response (SVR). RESULTS: During the study period, 40 patients initiated triple therapy (32%), 80% with recent or past substance use disorders. Patients initiating treatment were younger than untreated patients (Pâ=â0.002), but otherwise did not differ demographically, or in the severity of their liver fibrosis (Pâ>â0.05). An SVR was achieved in 18 patients (45%) and was less likely in patients with recent or past substance use disorders or psychiatric illness (both Pâ<â0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Nearly one third of patients initiated triple therapy with SVR rates comparable to other HCV treatment settings, despite a significant burden of mental illness and substance dependence. Our experience demonstrates that a primary care-based practice can successfully deliver HCV care to a vulnerable population. Additional interventions may be needed to improve outcomes in patients with recent or past substance use disorders or psychiatric illness.
