AbstractDieulafoyʼs lesions are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. This article presents the case of a young woman presenting with a massive ileal bleeding, secondary to a Dieulafoyʼs lesion. A computed-tomography angiography scan showed an arterial bleeding in the ileum and the diagnosis was confirmed by an emergency peroperative enteroscopy. Surgical treatment was performed. Dieulafoyʼs lesions account for 1 % to 2 % of acute gastrointestinal bleeding and lesions are mostly located in the upper gastrointestinal tract. This case stresses that Dieulafoyʼs lesions can be located in the lower gastrointestinal tract and that in such cases, diagnostic imaging and surgical treatment are often warranted.

Schwannomas are rare mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Occurrence of these tumors is more common in the stomach than in the large intestine. These tumors usually present as polypoidal intraluminal lesions and based on their location can present with rectal bleeding, colonic obstruction, and abdominal pain or defecation disorders. We present a case of a thirty-five-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and melena. Patient was diagnosed with a nonobstructing superficially ulcerated mass in the cecum on colonoscopy and required right hemicolectomy. A very rare pathological diagnosis of cecal schwannoma was made postoperatively.
