Inflammatory Pseudotumour of the Jejunum Presenting As Intussusception
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inflammatory pseudotumour is a rare cause of intussusception. It consists of a localized, usually polypoid mass that is composed of inflammed fibrous and granulation tissue. We report a case of 42-year old woman who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and distention of abdomen since one day. X ray abdomen (erect) did not show air fluid level. CT abdomen showed target sign suggestive of intussusception. Emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed jejuno-jejunal intussusception caused by a polypoidal mass. Resection and end to end anastomosis of jejunum was performed. Subsequent histopathology confirmed the mass to be an inflammatory pseudotumour of jejunum. Inflammatory pseudotumour of jejunum as a cause of intussusception has rarely been reported. Among adults presenting with obstruction, inflammatory pseudotumour should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Surgeons need to be aware of this condition because complete surgical excision is the treatment.
