[Intestinal Mantle Cell Lymphoma Complicated With Ileocecal Intussusception in Adults:Report of One Case].

Intestinal mantle cell lymphoma complicated with intussusception is rare in clinical practice,lacking specific clinical manifestations.CT and colonoscopy are helpful for the diagnosis of this disease,which need to be distinguished from colorectal cancer,Crohn's disease,and other pathological subtypes of lymphoma.The diagnosis still needs to be confirmed by pathological examination.This paper reports a case of intestinal mantle cell lymphoma complicated with ileocecal intussusception in an adult,aiming to improve the clinical and imaging doctors' understanding of this disease.

Pyogenic granuloma of the terminal ileum diagnosed by colonoscopy: the relevance of ileocecal valve intubation.

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular lesion that is most frequently found in the epidermis or mucosa of the oral cavity. Its finding in the ileum is rare, there are only a few case reports. In most reported cases, diagnosis is made with capsule endoscopy or double-balloon enteroscopy. We present a case of a lesion in the ileum, approximately 15 cm from the ileocecal valve, documented by colonoscopy.

Characteristics and Endoscopic Classification of Ulcerative Lesions Affecting the Ileocecal Valve.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to propose an endoscopic classification system for ulcerative lesions on the ileocecal valve and investigate its relevance to the underlying etiology. METHODS: Among the 60,325 patients who underwent colonoscopy at our hospital from January 2006 to December 2018, patients with ulcerative lesions on the ileocecal valve were included. The following data were obtained using the hospital's medical records: sex, age, clinical diagnosis, laboratory data, and endoscopic and histological findings. Patients who have ulcerative colitis and who were not evaluated by histological examination were excluded. Ulcerative lesions on the ileocecal valve were classified into 3 groups according to their endoscopic appearance: small shallow ulcerative lesions without edematous change (group A), lateral spreading shallow ulcerative lesions with edematous change (group B), and deep deformed ulcerative lesions (group C). The association between this endoscopic classification and its clinical diagnosis, clinical course, and the interobserver reliability were evaluated. RESULTS: Of 72 patients who were eligible for analysis, 18 were assigned to group A, 9 to group B, and 45 to group C. Infectious enteritis was mainly assigned to group A (group A, 12; group B, none; and group C, 6; p < 0.0001), inflammatory bowel disease was mainly assigned to group C (group A, none; group B, 5; and group C, 35; p < 0.0001), and malignant tumor was assigned to group C only. Interobserver reliability was extremely high among the 3 examining doctors (kappa value 0.7-0.8). CONCLUSION: Endoscopic classification was divided into 3 groups for ulcerative lesions on the ileocecal valve, and this system could be beneficial for presuming their clinical diagnoses.

Small bowel intussusception and concurrent jejunal polyp with neoplastic transformation: a new diagnosis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare hereditary disease characterised by hyperpigmentation of the oral mucosa and gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps. We report a case of a 27-year-old man who presented with a 5-day history of epigastric pain and rectal bleeding. Computed tomography suggested small bowel obstruction secondary to ileocolic intussusception and an incidental polyp in the mid jejunum. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy during which right hemicolectomy and small bowel resection were performed. Histology from surgical specimens revealed Peutz-Jeghers polyps, one of which had low-grade dysplasia. This case emphasises that although rare, adults with PJS can present with intussusception. Also illustrated is the extremely rare possibility of concurrent polyps occurring in different parts of the bowel with neoplastic transformation. Intussusception is a challenge to diagnose because the presentation is often non-specific. Clinical history-taking and physical examination along with prompt axial imaging is important for the diagnosis. Careful examination of the bowel and polypectomy during laparotomy may prevent neoplastic transformation and short bowel syndrome.

Comparison between children and adults intussusception. Description of two cases and review of literature.

INTRODUCTION: Intussusception is a common condition in children, it is rare in adults. Adult intussusception differs from pediatric intussusception in various respects, including etiology clinical characteristics and therapy. METHODS: We present and discuss a new case of intussusception in children and adults. RESULTS: In child the Barium Enema x-ray examination is identified an endoluminal filling defect to refer to the apex of the invaginated loop at the rectal level, with slow ascent during the progressive injection of the radiopaque contrast medium. At the end of the procedure, incomplete reduction of the picture is documented. The patient undergoes emergency surgery where the presence of an ileo-ceco-colic invagination is documented. Intussusception is reduced by taxis. In the adult laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was performed. High-grade B-cell Burkitt's lymphoma was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. DISCUSSION: In contrast to intussusceptions in children, in the adult population, a demonstrable etiology is found in most of the cases. In adults surgery is always indicated. The non-invasive resolutive intervention most commonly used in the child and best known consists in the rectal introduction of a radiopaque contrast medium (air or barium) at controlled pressure until. CONCLUSIONS: Although intussusceptions occur at all ages, there are major differences in the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management between pediatric and adult populations. Intussusception is remarkably different in these two age groups and it must be approached from a different clinical perspective. KEY WORDS: Intussusception in children, Intussusception in adults, Intussusception symptoms, Radiology and treatment.

Enterolith at the ileocecal valve mimicking a subepithelial mass.

A 32-year-old woman presented with chronic constipation for three years. Colonoscopy revealed a 2.5 cm subepithelial tumor-like lesion at the ileocecal (IC) valve with protrusion of the lesion into the lumen. A CT scan of the abdomen showed an oval-shape laminated calcified lesion adhered to the IC valve and several gallstones. An exploratory laparotomy to enterotomy with stone extraction and open cholecystectomy was performed. Operative findings showed stone erosion into the ileal wall with the lesion being covered with colonic mucosa. Pathologic examination of stones from the intestinal wall revealed an enterolith. The case exemplifies the infrequent cause of a subepithelial lesion of the gastrointestinal tract and a rare presentation of an enterolith as a subepithelial lesion within the terminal ileal wall.

Bleeding Edge Therapy: Ileocolic Intussusception Due to Ileocecal Valve Adenocarcinoma and Its Management in an Adult Patient-Case Report and Literature Review.

Adenocarcinoma as the primary cause of bowel intussusception is uncommon. We describe the case of a 86-year-old patient admitted for ileocecal intussusception due to the presence of adenocarcinoma, located in the ileocecal valve and right colon. The etiologies of intussusception, its diagnosis, and conservative or surgical treatments are discussed, with attention placed on the indications for reduction of the invagination prior to surgical resection.

FDG-PET-CT Enterography Helps Determine Clinical Significance of Suspected Ileocecal Thickening: A Prospective Study.

BACKGROUND: Ileocecal thickening (ICT) on imaging could result from diverse etiologies but may also be clinically insignificant. AIM: Evaluation of role of combined 2-deoxy-2-fluorine-18-fluoro-D-glucose(18F-FDG)-positron emission tomography and computed tomographic enterography (PET-CTE) for determination of clinical significance of suspected ICT. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled consecutive patients with suspected ICT on ultrasound. Patients were evaluated with PET-CTE and colonoscopy. The patients were divided into: Group A (clinically significant diagnosis) or Group B (clinically insignificant diagnosis) and compared for various clinical and radiological findings. The two groups were compared for maximum standardized uptake values of terminal ileum, ileo-cecal valve, cecum and overall. RESULTS: Of 34 patients included (23 males, mean age: 40.44 ± 15.40 years), 12 (35.3%) had intestinal tuberculosis, 11 (32.4%) Crohn's disease, 3 (8.8%) other infections, 1 (2.9%) malignancy, 4 (11.8%) non-specific terminal ileitis while 3 (8.8%) had normal colonoscopy and histology. The maximum standardized uptake value of the ileocecal area overall (SUVmax-ICT-overall) was significantly higher in Group A (7.16 ± 4.38) when compared to Group B (3.62 ± 9.50, P = 0.003). A cut-off of 4.50 for SUVmax-ICT-overall had a sensitivity of 70.37% and a specificity of 100% for prediction of clinically significant diagnosis. Using decision tree model, the SUVmax-ICT with a cut-off of 4.75 was considered appropriate for initial decision followed by the presence of mural thickening in the next node. CONCLUSION: PET-CTE can help in discrimination of clinically significant and insignificant diagnosis. It may help guide the need for colonoscopy in patients suspected to have ICT on CT.

'Ball valve' small bowel obstruction caused by a large caecal faecolith.

Small bowel obstruction is a common surgical presentation, but intestinal faecoliths are rarely reported as a cause. A 75-year-old woman presented with small bowel obstruction from a large faecolith lodged in the caecum. This required removal at laparoscopy-assisted surgery. This case highlights the need to deal promptly with symptomatic intestinal faecoliths as they are unlikely to pass spontaneously and are prone to cause acute obstruction.

Small bowel obstruction due to splenosis 30 years after splenectomy.

Splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue into abnormal locations due to trauma or iatrogenically. Usually, this causes no symptoms, but in rare cases the mass effect of the transplanted nodules can cause small bowel obstruction. Resection of the culprit splenic tissue is recommended, but not more extensive dissection of non-involved nodules. Our patient presented at 43 years of age with abdominal pain, distention and bilious vomiting. He had undergone a splenectomy at the age of 13 years due to splenic rupture after a motor vehicle collision. Computed tomography demonstrated a small bowel obstruction with multiple nodules suspicious of splenosis. The obstructing mass and compromised bowels. were resected. Final pathology confirmed the diagnosis. Splenosis is an uncommon aetiology of small bowel obstruction and must be considered in patients who had previous splenic trauma or surgery.

[Mucinous cystadenoma of the ileocecal valve. Uncommon intestinal tumor in a oneyear-old boy. Case report]. / Cistoadenoma mucinoso de la vá lvula ileocecal: tumoración intestinal infrecuente en un niñ o de 1 añ o. Reporte de caso.

Mucinous cystadenoma is usually found in the ovary, pancreas and appendix but its presentation in the intestine is extremely rare. In this case report we present an infant with partial intestinal occlusion due to a mucinous cystadenoma of the ileocecal valve. We performed an excision of the terminal ileum, ileocecal valve, cecum and appendix, followed by ileocolic anastomosis. The patient did well after the procedure and recovered uneventfully. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of this tumor in this location.
