Lipomatosis of Terminal Ileum and Ileocecal Valve: Multidetector Computed Tomography Findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intestinal lipomatosis also known as lipohyperplasia is a rare disease. Diffuse infiltration of the fatty tissue mainly in the submucosal layer is characteristic. It is usually asymptomatic and found incidentally. We report a case of lipomatosis in the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with contrast enhancement showed fatty infiltration of the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mucosal healing after 24-month low-dose azathioprine (AZA) treatment in Chinese patients with moderate small bowel Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Patients with lesions mainly located at the ileum were screened by baseline multislice computed tomography enterography and anal-route double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). They were naive to any immunomodulators and biological agen...

A 73-year-old woman presented with intermittent abdominal pain and weight loss of 15 kg for 2 years. Colonoscopy revealed an erythematous polypoid tumor with a long and wide stalk in the cecum, but with air inflation, it abruptly went away through the ileocecal valve (ICV). An abdominal computed tomography showed a well-demarcated pedunculated subepithelial mass of 2.6×2.7 cm size with fat atte...

In a context of rapidly expanding indications for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)guided procedures, a dedicated forwardviewing linear therapeutic echoendoscope (FV-EUS) has been developed and tested for different clinical indications [1–3]. The frontal endoscopic view combined with the exit of the working channel at the tip of the echoendoscope offers some unique advantages over the standard curvil...

A 69-year-old male was admitted to our institution because of a sudden onset of vomiting and abdominal distention. His past history of illness included femoral head fracture, congestive heart failure and ischaemic colitis. Plain abdominal computed tomography revealed extensively dilated small intestinal loops with a calibre change around the end of the ileum. Small intestinal obstruction was di...

A 67-year-old woman presented in the emergency room with abdominal pain for 2 hours. Physical examination showed abdominal distension and diffuse pain without signs of peritoneal irritation. A plain abdominal radiography showed distension of cecum located ectopically in the left upper quadrant, with little aeration of the distal colon. Given these findings, an intravenous contrast enhanced mult...
