Colorectal adenocarcinoma, the third most diagnosed cancer in males and the second most diagnosed in females, commonly presents with changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fatigue, and abdominal pain. While non-regional lymphatic the involvement in colon primary is an uncommon finding, metastatic mediastinal and su-praclavicular lymph node without the involvement of major intermediary organs like liver or lungs is extremely rare. We report the case of a 25-year-old male with colorectal cancer who had an unusual initial presentation as a progres-sively increasing left-sided neck mass. Early age of onset of colorectal malignancy without any bowel symptoms and presentation as metastasis to left supraclavicular node (Virchow’s node) without solid end-organ involvement makes this case novel.Keywords

Incidence of multiple primary malignant neoplasm increases with age, mainly because of an improvement in diagnostic techniques and prolonged survival of patients treated for malignancy. Multiple tumors may develop synchronously or metachronously. If the time interval between the appearances of the two neoplasms is less than 6 months, they are defined as synchronous, and if the time interval is longer than 6 months, they are classified as metachronous. Gastric cancer associated with synchronous colon cancer is very rare. We report a case of 56 year old male who was presented with dyspepsia with associated alarm feature and during evaluation was found to have synchronous primary gastric and colonic cancer.Keywords

Iron deficiency anemia is not a disease in itself, but may be a manifestation of a serious underlying disease such as malignancy. The incidence of colorectal and gastric cancer in younger individuals is low. Therefore, the yield of upper and lower gastrointestinal tract examinations in young men with IDA to evaluate for the presence of GI pathology may also be lower than that in older men. So evidence for the necessity of endoscopy in young men with IDA is significantly lacking. Here we present a case of chronic iron deficiency anemia in a young 25 year old male patient, who on evaluation was found to have sporadic stage IV colonic carcinoma.Keywords

Carcinoma lung classically present with symptoms of cough, hemoptysis, chest pain and weight loss. Lung cancer presenting with sole manifestation of difficulty swallowing as the initial presenting complaint is very uncommon. Literature reports 1-2 % patients with lung cancer had dysphagia at presentation. We report a case of 45 years male, who is initially evaluated for the complaints of difficulty swallowing and eventually diagnosed to have carcinoma lung with mediastinal lyphadenopathy as the cause of his symptoms.Keywords

‘Downhill’ varices are dilated veins resulting from SVC obstruction whose blood flow is directed caudally towards azygous vein or inferior vena cava. Their etiology differs from that of the usual “uphill” varices secondary to portal hypertension. We report a case of 63 year old male that was suspected to have mediastinal / lung pathology based on finding of downhill varix on diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy despite normal chest X- ray. Subsequently, the lung pathology was confirmed on contrast enhanced tomography of chest and on bronchoscopy. So findings of ‘downhill’varices on endoscopy can suggest lung/medistinal pathology which needs to be confirmed on subsequent testing.Keywords

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is associated with retroperitoneal perforation in approximately 2.1% patients, but not infrequently, retroperitoneal air, pneumoperitoneum, pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous emphysema are also reported which may or may not be associated with retroperitoneal perforation. We report the case of a female patient with post-ERCP air leak into different compartments without iatrogenic gastrointestinal perforation and which was managed conservatively.Keywords

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an exceedingly rare but aggressive hematopoietic tumor, showing morphologic and immunophenotypic features of mature tissue histiocytes. Diagnosis of HS is based on histological and immunohistochemical evidence of histiocytic differentiation supported by an extensive immunophenotypic analysis that excludes other large cell malignancies in the differential diagnosis. Search of world literature revealed only three previous reports of extranodal histiocytic sarcoma (ENHS) involving rectum specifically. We report a case of ENHS of rectum in a 65 year old man presenting with hematochezia. Radiological findings were indicative of polypoidal soft tissue mass lesion in rectum. Histopathology and immunohistochemical studies of the resected specimen confirmed the uncommon diagnosis ENHS.Keywords

Background: Esophageal Cancer (EC) is one of the least responsive tumors to cancer therapy with overall poor prognosis. Published data from different regions in India have indicated their observations on the local risk factors. Presently, as there seems little prospect of early detection and effective management of this cancer, understanding the etiology of EC may suggest opportunities for its primary prevention.
Material & Methods: A retrospective hospital record-based study was carried out for the period of five years (2014-2019) in Department of Gastroenterology of Indira Gandhi Medical College Shimla- a tertiary care hospital located in Sub – Himalyan ranges of North India in Himachal Pradesh.
Results: A total of 363 patients were diagnosed to have EC, 58.68% were male and 41.32% were female with male to female ratio of 1.42:1. Most patients come from rural areas (82.09%) and belonged to low socioeconomic status (38.01%). Most patients were illiterate (41.87%) and were involved in farming works (52.06%). Majority (76.03%) had a history of smoking bidi followed by alcohol consumption (29.20%). The most common primary location of the malignancy was middle third of the esophagus in 44.63% followed by lower third 35.54% and upper third 19.83%. Squamous cell histology was identified in 70.24% patients, while 29.75% patients had adenocarcinoma.
Conclusion: EC is one of the important cancers in northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type followed by adenocarcinoma. The most common primary location of the malignancy was middle third of the esophagus followed by lower and upper third. The major risk factors associated with EC included tobacco and alcohol consumption besides low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, rural background and occupation of farming.

Foreign body ingestion is a potentially lethal condition and the wide variety of ingested foreign bodies poses a challenge in the management of these patients. Endoscopic removal is the first-line treatment for ingested foreign bodies that need to be removed either due to their harmful potential or because they will most likely fail to pass per anus. We report the retrieval of an ingested thermometer from the stomach of a young schizophrenic male by endoscopic means.Keywords

Surgery is usually considered a treatment for acquired benign esophageal perforation but in sick patients’ surgery is not possible. We report a case of mid esophageal perforation, detected during side-viewing endoscopy. As the surgery was difficult considering her age and comorbidities, a fully covered, a self-expandable metallic stent (FC-SEMS) was placed over perforation, which was tied by plastic wire from the proximal end of FC-SEMS and anchored to the tooth (canines) to prevent inward migration. FC-SEMS was removed after three months and complete closure of esophageal perforation was achieved. This is probably the first case report in which one end of the plastic thread was tied to FC-SEMS (proximal end) endoscopically and another end of plastic thread tied to teeth to prevent inward migration after stent deployment.Keywords

Colo-duodenal fistula is a very infrequent complication of colon cancer that presents not only with severe clinical symptoms, but a poor prognosis due to locally advanced disease. It consists in a pathological communication between the lumen of the colon and duodenum. Presentation is generally sub-acute with majority of the patients presenting with non-specific abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. The contact of duodenal bile salts with colonic mucosa frequently leads to diarrhea, so also duodenal colonization with colonic pathogens frequently leads to malabsorption, foul eructation and feculent vomiting. The diagnosis is established either by gastrointestinal contrast studies or contrast enhanced CT scan. Gastro-duodenoscopy and colonoscopy can demonstrate the fistulous communication and it can also be helpful in obtaining
a histological diagnosis. We report a case of a 38-year-old male patient who presented to our gastroenterology clinic with complaints of diarrhea and abdominal pain and was diagnosed to have carcinoma colon with colo-duodenal fistula.

Esophageal diverticula are rare and the association of cancer in a diverticulum is even more rare. Esophageal diverticula are classified by location- phrenoesophageal (Zenker’s diverticulum-70%), thoracic and mediastinal (10%), and epiphrenic (20%). [3] Incidence of cancer in a diverticulum is 0.3%–7%, 1.8%, and 0.6% for pharyngoesophageal, midesophageal, and epiphrenic diverticula, respectively. We report a case of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum complicated by malignancy within the diverticulum.
