Abstrakt: Gastrointestinal tactile corpuscle-like bodies are a rare, incidental, entirely benign finding. It is mainly reported in the colorectum and esophagus/gastro-esophageal junction. Rare cases have been documented in the stomach. Here, we present two cases of gastric and colonic tactile corpuscle-like bodies of a 38-year-old female and a 55-year-old male, respectively. Endoscopically, the colonic lesion was resected as an adenomatous polyp, while the gastric biopsies were taken to rule out Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) gastritis. Microscopically, both specimens revealed the same histopathologic aspects of eosinophilic fibrillary material with round to oval cells and peripherally placed nuclei. Immunohistochemically, these lesions were positive for anti-S100, confirming the diagnosis of tactile corpuscle-like bodies. A thorough literature review is provided.
