RESUMEN
A case of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis is presented. The patient is a 26-year-old woman who had a 10-year history of pelvic inflammatory disease. The pathogenesis of this lesion appears similar to that of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis. Ultrastructural findings are presented and xanthogranulomatous lesions of the female genital tract are reviewed.

The case of a 60-year-old man with massive lower intestinal bleeding, secondary to erosion of an abnormally large submucosal muscular artery in the ascending colon, is reported. The bleeding site was localized by angiography. The clinicopathologic presentation of this case is identical to Dieulafoy's disease, which occurs almost exclusively in the stomach. Three similar patients with lesions also located in the ascending colon have been reported in the English medical literature.
