Gastrointestinal sarcoidosis in the absence of pulmonary disease is rare. Likewise, cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in the stomach is also rare. We present a 67-year-old woman with symptomatic CMV gastritis and gastroduodenal sarcoidosis who presented with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. Initial gastric biopsies revealed CMV gastritis. Repeat assessment demonstrated worsening disease requiring antiviral treatment. After this, further investigations into ongoing epigastric pain demonstrated noncaseating granulomas on repeat gastrointestinal biopsies. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis was established and treated with prednisone to resolution.

The wireless pH capsule is widely used to evaluate gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients. Common complications include premature capsule detachment, dysphagia, chest pain, and technical malfunctions. We present a 6-year-old boy who presented to our institution with a 2-day history of coffee-ground emesis. A pH capsule was found to be lodged in his distal esophagus 45 days after initial placement. We explore the possible reasons for capsule retention and briefly discuss the safety implications of this finding because we believe that this complication may be underreported.
