A case of collagenous colitis in a patient with ileal carcinoid is described. Considerable fibrofatty thickening of the small bowel mesentery was present. The association of these findings appears to be unprecedented. Further observations are required to ascertain that collagenous colitis is one of the protean manifestations of carcinoid tumor.

A case of subserosal gastric neurilemmoma is hereby presented. This reported case is unique in its clinical presentation including the appearance of acute abdomen and fever subsequent to unremarkable and uneventful upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The tendency of neurilemmoma to cause mucosal ulceration with fistula formation probably led to this clinical presentation. The role of computed tomography in establishing diagnosis of exogastric tumor is emphasized.
