BACKGROUND
- Obscure gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is defined as persistent or recurrent GI bleeding after negative evaluations with upper endoscopy and colonoscopy.
- Accounts for approximately 5% of GI bleeding.
- Obscure GI bleeding can further be classified as being overt or occult.
-Overt GI bleeding is clinically evident, with either hematemesis, hematochezia, or melena.
-Occult GI bleeding manifests as iron deficiency anemia or a positive fecal occult blood test.
- Our case demonstrates a rare cause of obscure occult GI bleeding.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about differences in Barrett's esophagus (BE) characteristics by sex and race and/or ethnicity or these differences in response to radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
OBJECTIVE: We compared disease-specific characteristics, treatment efficacy, and safety outcomes by sex and race and/or ethnicity in patients treated with RFA for BE.
DESIGN: The U.S. RFA patient registry is a multicenter collaboration reporting processes and outcomes of care for patients treated with RFA for BE.
PATIENTS: Patients enrolled with BE.
INTERVENTIONS: RFA.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: We assessed safety (stricture, bleeding, perforation, hospitalization), efficacy (complete eradication of intestinal metaplasia [CEIM]), complete eradication of dysplasia, …

Introduction
Melena is commonly misidentified by young resident physicians.
The magnitude of this inaccurate physical exam has not been quantified.
Precise identification of melena may have important diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

Introduction
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, benign mesenchymal tumors of Schwann cell origin. Since they were originally described by Abrikossoff in 1926,most GCTs have been described in the dermis, oral area, or subcutaneous tissue of the chest and arms. Only 5%-9% of reported cases have involved the gastrointestinal tract and fewer than 1% of cases have occurred in the biliary tract.Tumors involving the bile duct are difficult to distinguish radiographically from more common etiologies of biliary stricturing, and a tissue diagnosis is difficult to obtain endoscopically. Diagnosis and treatment is most often made via surgical resection.
