A hard mass was palpable in the right lumbar region and iliac fossa on clinical examination. Colonoscopic biopsy revealed a malignant neoplasm of ascending colon. The patient underwent right radical hemicolectomy and histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma which is extremely rare in adults and very uncommon in the gastrointestinal tract

Segmental Jejunal Lipomatosis: A Rare Cause of Intestinal Obstruction

A rare case of a segmental small intestinal (jejunal) lipomatosis is described. A 33-year-old male was admitted with a clinical diagnosis of an acute intestinal obstruction. A plain erect abdominal x-ray showed multiple air-fluid levels. On an exploratory laparotomy, a jejunojejunal intussusception was found secondary to a segmental submucosal lipomatosis. This was treated by a segmental resection and anastomosis, which resulted in a complete cure. Here we present this case with a review of the relevant literature.
