Round, yellowish, submucosal. A: carcinoid. B: granular cell tumor, much less common. In the rectum, a lesion like A is carcinoid until proven otherwise, not a lipoma. Injection: poor lift. EMR or ESD, never plain snare. By Klaus Mönkemüller, MD, PhD

Granular cell tumors can be malignant from the outset. We favor resecting by histology (Fanburg-Smith), not symptoms alone. Case by Klaus Mönkemüller, MD, PhD.

Hemoglobin from 9 to 4 g/dl in 24 hours. Colonoscopy showed hemorrhoids, a circumferential rectal ulcer and hard impacted stool everywhere. The first reply in our WhatsApp group asked about rectal prolapse and a pressure ulcer from fecal impaction. Eight days later she came back with profuse bleeding and collapsed. On the urgent sigmoidoscopy, opinions split: • The presenter: a rectal Dieulafoy lesion • One member: rectal ulcer and hemorrhoids, with a pulsatile lesion that seemed to arise from the earlier ulcer. Not a Dieulafoy as such, in that member's view, but it looked like the culprit • Another member: rectal Dieulafoy Nothing was found beyond the rectum at the earlier colonoscopy, and CT mesenteric angiography was normal. The only treatment suggested was to inject and clip the lesion. The outcome was not reported.

Acute cholecystitis: how calculous and acalculous disease progress. Calculous: cystic duct obstruction and pressure. Acalculous: stasis and ischemia, with more perforation (10-20% vs up to 10%). No stones does not rule out cholecystitis, especially in the ICU. Adapted from Gallaher and Charles, JAMA 2022.

Looks like a hernia. It is esophagus. In extensive Barrett's, the distal esophagus is columnar-lined and can show pseudo-folds. The palisade veins of the distal esophagus are now easy to see. Would you have called this stomach?
