When patients present with malignant cologastric fistulas, the tumor stage is often advanced and management is only palliative. We report the case of a 75-year-old man with a symptomatic cologastric fistula arising from an advanced tumor in the transverse colon, previously stented owing to malignant obstruction. An 8-cm-long covered self-expanding metal stent (COMVI enteral colonic stent; Taewoong Medical) was placed inside the primary stent, which sealed the fistula and completely alleviated the symptoms. Considering the successful outcome, we propose that insertion of a covered stent be considered in the palliative management of patients with malignant cologastric fistulas.

Congenital sinuses of the lips are uncommon congenital malformations. Congenital lateral upper lip sinuses or pits are more rare than those that occur in the midline, and only 10 cases have been reported previously. Congenital sinus of the upper lip usually present as a pit, which is the opening of a blind sinus penetrating the orbicularis oris muscle and ending just beneath the mucosal surface of the lip, without communication with oral cavity. Most sinus tracts are lined by stratified squamous epithelium, and mucous drainage or secretion is the most common symptom. In the literature, there are several theories of pathogenesis in which the invagination theory recieves the most attention but its etiology remains controversial. Surgical resection is the tratment of choice and an elliptical excision gives the most acceptable aesthetic result. The authors present 2 rare cases of congenital lateral upper lip sinus with pits found below right vermilion border, and just above the vermilion border on the left ridge of the philtrum.

The occurrence of a fistula between the duodenum and the colon is very rare, although these two structures commonly lie in intimate relationship to each other. It is not uncommon for tumor of the right colon and proximal transverse colon to involve the duodenum by continuity, but fistulous connection between the duodenum and colon are infrequent In most of the reported malignant cases, the fistulas follow carcinomas of the transverse colon or the hepatic flexure of the colon. We report a rare case of malignant duodenocolic fistula which was first suspected by endoscopic examination and confirmed by operation.

This is a case report of systemic lupus erythematosus presented as a transverse myelitis. Central nervous system involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus is a relatively common complication. But the transverse myelitis as a central nervous system involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus is rare and the transverse myelitis as the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus has not been reported in Korea. Thus we report a case of the transverse myelitis as a first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus with the literature review.

A colon lipoma is a remarkably rare tumor. In most cases, the tumors are asymptomatic and small in size, need to be differentiated from malignant tumors, and do not need any special treatment. Selection of the right surgical strategy depends on the status of bowel, as well as the size and the location of tumor. We encountered two patients with giant submucosal lipomas that had induced intussusceptions: one with a lipoma in the transverse colon and the other with a lipoma in the ascending colon. The diagnoses were made by using histological examinations. We report the clinical features, diagnoses, and treatments of, as well as our experience with, these two uncommon cases, and we present a review of the literature on this subject.
