RESUMO
We present the clinical case of a 56-year-old former smoker female, with a family history of maternal ulcerative colitis and personal history of ankylosing spondylitis treated with Ixekizumab for 3 months, who was admitted for fever, left iliac fossa pain and diarrhea without pathological products of 2 weeks of evolution. Abdominopelvic computed tomography scan identified pancolitis. Complete colonoscopy revealed continuous involvement of the proximal colon (right and transverse colon presented deep ulcerations and mucosal friability) with preservation of the terminal ileum. After many complementary tests and according to the clinical context, the diagnosis of extensive colitis associated with IL-17 inhibitor was established.
RESUMO
We present the clinical case of a 21-year-old male with abdominal pain in the left hypochondrium radiating to the ipsilateral lumbar area and a weight loss of 2kg over a month, secondary to a large palpable intra-abdominal mass in the examination. TAC revealed a large solid mass with necrotic-cystic component which depended of the pancreas, infiltrated the spleen, enveloped the celiac trunk and affected to the splenic vases. Inmunohistochemical and molecular study confirmed the diagnosis extraosseus Ewing sarcoma (EES).

We present the cases of two women aged 75 and 71 years under study for dyspepsia and weight loss. The initial gastroscopy of both patients showed a stomach full of food content, with thickened gastric folds that were hard on contact with the forceps. Gastric biopsies showed the presence of Sarcina ventriculi on active chronic gastritis, so antibiotic treatment was started (ciprofloxacin and metronidazole), without significant clinical improvement. In both patients, gastroscopy was repeated without showing macroscopic changes compared to the initial gastroscopy, which led to the suspicion of an underlying lesion.
