Among the gastrointestinal sites affected by CMV, the colon is the most frequently affected, though rectal involvement is relatively rare. Reactivated CMV proctitis primarily occurs in elderly patients with comorbidities and is quite uncommon in immunocompetent individuals.

Introduction: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare and aggressive soft tissue sarcomas. Its occurrence in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the sigmoid colon, is exceptionally uncommon and poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 46-year-old female who presented with a four-year history of intermittent rectal bleeding and lower abdominal pain.

Background∕Objectives: Malakoplakia is an uncommon clinicopathological entity defined by the accumulation of dysfunctional macrophages containing undigested bacterial remnants and pathognomonic Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. Although it most frequently involves the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the colon, rectum, and rectosigmoid junction, appendiceal involvement remains rare. This case represents only the fourth reported occurrence of appendiceal malakoplakia in a young, immunocompetent adult without notable comorbidities, underscoring its exceptional clinical presentation.

Background And Studys Purpose: Endoscopic band ligation is commonly used in gastroenterology but limited in colorectal polyps (CRPs) treatment due to narrow cap diameters. Endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are effective but carry higher bleeding risks in patients with concomitant comorbidities. Considering the narrowest part of the colon, the rectosigmoid junction measures approximately 2.
