RESUMO
Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection causing lesions and abscesses, often mimicking tumors. It commonly affects the cervicofacial, abdominal, and thoracic regions. We present a case of a woman with an intrauterine device (IUD) who developed an abscess and abdominal symptoms. Initial studies suggested a tumor, but biopsy revealed inflammation. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with Actinomyces Israelii infection, her IUDwas removed, and she was treated with penicillin, resulting in improvement. Pelvic actinomycosis is uncommon and often diagnosed late, often post-surgery, requiring combined surgical and medical treatment.
RESUMO
Resumen La localización extranodal gastrointestinal del linfoma de Hodgkin comprende el 5% de todos los linfomas. Dentro de este grupo, el linfoma anal primario representa menos del 0,05%, siendo por tanto una entidad extremadamente rara. Por otro lado, los tumores neuroendocrinos son un grupo heterogéneo de neoplasias relativamente poco frecuentes, pero de localización fundamentalmente digestiva. La asociación entre un linfoma de Hodgkin de localización anal y un tumor neuroendocrino intestinal no ha sido descrita previamente en la literatura, pero no es en absoluto raro que los tumores neuroendocrinos puedan coexistir con otro tipo de neoplasias. Los autores presentan el caso infrecuente de presentación de linfoma Hodgkin de localización anal asociado a un tumor neuroendocrino intestinal en una paciente mujer de 74 años, describiéndose la clínica, resultados de pruebas complementarias y tratamiento recibido.
Abstract Extranodal gastrointestinal Hodgkin's lymphoma comprises 5% of all lymphomas. In this group, primary rectal lymphoma represents less than 0.05%; thus, it is an extremely rare entity. On the other hand, neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous group of infrequent neoplasms, mainly of digestive location. The association between a rectal Hodgkin's lymphoma and an intestinal neuroendocrine tumor has not been previously described in the literature, but it is not at all uncommon for neuroendocrine tumors to coexist with other types of neoplasms. The authors present a rare case of rectal Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with an intestinal neuroendocrine tumor in a 74-year-old female patient, describing the symptoms, complementary test results, and treatment.

Resumen El linfoma MALT es una forma poco frecuente de linfoma no Hodking de células B de bajo grado, que se desarrolla a expensas del tejido linfoide de las membranas mucosas. La localización más frecuente a nivel gastrointestinal es el estómago relacionando con la infección por Helicobacter pylori. El linfoma MALT colónico es una entidad extremadamente rara y cuya incidencia no supera el 5% de los casos en países asiáticos, con series porcentualmente menores al 2,5%, siendo la ubicación de este tipo de linfoma la más inusual de todo el tracto digestivo en comparación con otras neoplasias malignas que afectan al colon. Los autores exponen el caso infrecuente de presentación de linfoma tipo MALT de localización colónica en un paciente varón de 51 años, describiendo la clínica, los resultados de pruebas complementarias y el tratamiento recibido por el paciente.
Abstract MALT lymphoma is a rare form of low-grade non-Hodking B-cell lymphoma, which develops at the expense of lymphoid tissue of the mucous membranes. The most frequent location at the gastrointestinal level is the stomach related to the infection by Helicobacter pylori. Colonic MALT lymphoma is an extremely rare entity and the incidence of which does not exceed 5% of cases in Asian countries, with a series of less than 2.5%, with the location of this type of lymphoma being the most unusual of the entire digestive tract compared to other malignant neoplasms that affect the colon. The authors present the infrequent case of presentation of MALT-type lymphoma of colonic location in a 51-year-old male patient, describing the clinic, the results of complementary tests and the treatment received by the patient.
