Respiratory tract infection with human papillomavirus has been associated with major airway complications, including tracheal stenosis. We report a case of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis infection complicated with iatrogenic airway fire injury causing airway stenosis. This was treated with reconstruction and a silicone Y stent placement. Three years after the stent placement, the patient presented with wheezing and shortness of breath. Bronchoscopy revealed tracheal narrowing proximal to the tracheal limb of the Y stent. The stenosis was treated with a stent intussusception technique with satisfactory results.

We report a third case of a primary intramural synovial sarcoma of the lower gastrointestinal tract. A 50-year-old woman presented with hematochezia, dizziness and shortness of breath. CT imaging revealed a transverse colo-colonic intussusception with a colonic mass serving as a lead point. A subtotal colectomy was performed with oncologic resection of a sausage-like mass in the mid-transverse colon. Pathological assessment showed a biphasic synovial sarcoma. The postoperative hospital course was without complications and the patient was discharged home with plans for postoperative surveillance.
