Hemangiomas are a type of benign vascular tumor, originated from angiogenesis disorders and prevalent in approximately 4% to 5% of the population. Among the most common complications are: ulcerations and bleeding, in cases of those located in the gastrointestinal tract; impairment of airways and vision; visceral complications; obstruction of the ear canal causing deficit in hearing; or problems in eating or in the emission of sounds due to its presence in the oral cavity. Colon and rectum hemangiomas are a rare cause of lower digestive hemorrhage. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the case of multiple hemangiomatose disease in an inpatient undergoing treatment at the Palmas General Public Hospital (HGPP).

Summary Background/Aim: The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is an immunologic entity, which is due to an RNA virus. AIDS is relatively easy transmitted and has a poor prognosis. The main mechanism of this Syndrome is characterized by the destruction and diminishing of T4 lymphocytes or helper/suppressor T-cells. Kaposi’s sarcoma is a neoplasm due to human herpes HHV-8. Kaposi’s sarcoma is one of the entities that determines the disease of AIDS. Kaposi’s sarcoma appears as skin lesions and attacks the oral cavity and lymph nodes. Case report: A male patient, with HIV-syndrome, was referred to the Special Infection Clinic of the University Hospital with a chief complaint of having two lesions, in the oral cavity and in the right ear. The histological report revealed the diagnosis of vascular tumor having morphological and immuno-histochemical characteristics compatible with Kaposi’s sarcoma. Conclusions: The doctor must be suspicious when lesions are observed, particularly in the oral cavity. A biopsy must be taken in order to obtain the correct diagnosis and examine the possibility of the presence of Kaposi’s sarcoma or AIDS.

Epithelioid Leiomyoma

Introduction: Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle neoplasms that preferably affect the genitals, skin, and gastrointestinal tract, being rarely seen in the oral cavity. They  re commonly classified into three microscopic patterns: solid leiomyoma, angioleiomyoma (ALM), and epithelioid leiomyoma. The most frequently reported sites of occurrence of oral ALM are the lip (48.6%), palate (21.1%), buccal mucosa and tongue (9.2%), and intraosseous lesions (8.3%).Case report: A 62 years old male presented a painless swelling in the left cheek. In this report histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis were made to confirm the diagnosis, since several lesions were possible. The treatment was local surgical excision of the tumor.

The gastrointestinal tract is a hollow tube stretching from the oral cavity through the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and rectum to the anal sphincter. Its function is the transport, digestion, and elimination of ingested material to supply nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes that are essential for life, together with the protection of the rest of the body from injurious or allergenic material. The stomach acts as a storage, sterilizing, and digestive tank; the small intestine is the major site of digestion and absorption; the colon’s function is to salvage water and electrolyte from the small intestinal effluent; and the rectum provides a storage function, enabling the elimination of colonic residue (defecation) to be restricted to times of personal convenience....

Introduction. Ingestion of foreign body is one of the most complex and serious emergency conditions to diagnose. Accidental ingestion is more frequent in children than in adults, whereas intentional ingestion is usually found in cases of mental disorders, prisoners, attempted suicides, and in persons with intellectual disabilities. Case report. Glass ingestion is very rare and it is very difficult to predict the consequences of its passing through the gastrointestinal tract. We report a case of accidental swallowing of a large quantity of glass pieces in the ascending colon and rectum diagnosed by abdominal X-ray. The patient did not have any signs of perforation. An expectant attitude was taken, and the elimination occurred naturally.

Malignant Lesions

Heterotopic pancreas is a congenital pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly rare in the esophagus. Both symptomatology and findings during preoperative examinations are non-specific and therefore do not often lead to an accurate diagnosis, which is usually revealed only by histopathological assessment of a resected specimen. We report an unusual case of a patient suffering from severe dysphagia caused by heterotopic pancreas in the distal esophagus with chronic inflammation and foci of premalignant changes. This article also reviews 14 adult cases of heterotopic pancreas in the esophagus previously reported in the literature, with the aim of determining the clinical features of this disease and possible complications including rare premalignant lesions and malignant transformation. Especially with regard to those complications, we suggest that both symptomatic and incidentally found asymptomatic lesions should be resected.

Fat Taste

There are numerous and diverse factors enabling the overconsumption of foods, with the sense of taste being one of these factors. There are four well established basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter; all with perceptual independence, salience, and hedonic responses to encourage or discourage consumption. More recently, additional tastes have been added to the basic taste list including umami and fat, but they lack the perceptual independence and salience of the basics. There is also emerging evidence of taste responses to kokumi and carbohydrate. One interesting aspect is the link with the new and emerging tastes to macronutrients, with each macronutrient having two distinct perceptual qualities that, perhaps in combination, provide a holistic perception for each macronutrient: fat has fat taste and mouthfeel; protein has umami and kokumi; carbohydrate has sweet and carbohydrate tastes. These new tastes can be sensed in the oral cavity, but they have more influence post- than pre-ingestion. Umami, fat, kokumi, and carbohydrate tastes have been suggested as an independent category named alimentary. This narrative review will present and discuss evidence for macronutrient sensing throughout the alimentary canal and evidence of how each of the alimentary tastes may influence the consumption of foods.
