ABSTRACT
The concomitant presence of a primary gastric adenocarcinoma and a gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the stomach is uncommon. We report a 68-year-old male with an advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. During gastrectomy, a nodular intramural lesion was found. The pathological study, revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, positive form CD117. After six months of follow up, there is no evidence of recurrence of either tumor.

Colitis cystica profunda is a benign condition that can be confused with adenocarcinoma. We report a 35year-old woman that received radiotherapy for a uterine cervical carcinoma who presented intermittent hematochezia three times after ending the therapy. This episode was diagnosed and treated as a radiation colitis and the patient remained asymptomatic for six years. After this period she presented again intermittent hematochezia and a rectal mass that was surgically removed. The pathology report disclosed a colitis cystica profunda.
