Jejunojejunal Lipoma Causing Intussusception
نویسندگان
چکیده
Jejunojejunal intussusception and jejunojejunal lipomas are both very rare clinical entities. The present case report describes this event in an adult patient with severe episodes of hematochezia and colicky upper abdominal pain. The diagnosis was not made preoperatively, as none of the endoscopic findings were pathognomonic and, furthermore, CT scans could not rule out malignancy. Exploratory laparotomy was mandatory and at surgery a jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to a lipoma was found. Segmental resection and primary reanastomosis were performed in the presence of evidence of bowel ischemia.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Resection of Jejunojejunal Intussusception Caused by a Juvenile Polyp in an Adult
Most bowel intussusceptions in adults have a leading point. However, there have been few reports of jejunojejunal intussusception secondary to a solitary juvenile polyp in adult. We report herein the case of a 19-year-old female with a solitary juvenile polyp in the jejunum causing intussusception.

متن کاملLipoma of ileum causing intussusception.
The tumours of the small intestine constitute about 5% of all tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. These tumours are about equally divided between benign and malignant varieties. The autopsy incidence of small intestine tumours is about 0.2%. Lipoma of the small intestine is very rare and such tumour causing intussusception is also rare. We present a case of lipoma of the ileum causing intuss...

متن کاملPedunculated Cecal Lipoma Causing Colo-Colonic Intussusception: A Rare Case Report
Colonic lipomas are uncommon nonepithelial neoplasms that are typically sessile, asymptomatic and incidentally found during endoscopy, surgery, or autopsy. We present a very rare case of a 34-year-old female patient with symptomatic pedunculated cecal lipoma causing intermittent colo-colonic intussusception. Despite adequate imaging studies, definite preoperative diagnosis was not established a...
متن کاملIleocecal Intussusception due to a Lipoma in an Adult
While intestinal tumors are rare, small intestinal lipomas are even more uncommon benign neoplasms. They are usually asymptomatic, but lipomas larger than 2 cm may become symptomatic due to obstruction, bleeding, or intussusception. In this paper, US and CT findings of a lipoma located in the terminal ileum and causing ileocecal intussusception were discussed. We report a case of small bowel li...
