A 30-year-old man with no individual pathological history was admitted for an abdominal mass. (a,b) Abdominal computed tomography showed a median and paramedian intraperitoneal abdominopelvic mass with a double solid and cystic component measuring 196 × 188 × 80mm. The mass was removed via surgical resection. (c) Histological analysis (H&E; ×400) of the surgical specimen revealed smooth muscle proliferation as beams intersecting at right angles, without atypia or mitosis necrosis, consistent with leiomyoma. 1

A 21-year-old Filipino active-duty Air Force Airman, who grew up swimming in rivers in the Philippines and had been deployed to Saudi Arabia a year previously, presented with intermittent scant hematochezia. (a,b) Colonoscopy showed small, polypoid colon-wall protrusions originating from the proximal to the midtransverse colon. (c) Biopsy revealed numerous calcified oval-shaped eggs within the lamina propria, morphologically consistent with Schistosoma species. Colonic schistosomiasis can manifest endoscopically in several ways, from polypoid lesions to frank colitis and ulceration. San Antonio Military Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
