Adult Ileo-Ileal Intussusception Caused by Intestinal Lipoma

Ileo-colic intussusception by ileo-cecal valve lipoma - an infrequent ultrasonographic occurrence. A case report.

We present a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in an adult, due to ileo-colic intussusception by a lipoma of the ileo-cecal valve and its ultrasonographic presentation. The case presented in emergency for spontaneously appearing and disappearing palpable elastic mass in the right iliac fossa. The ultrasonographic examination raised the suspicion of an ileo-colic intussusception due to a poly...

Here we report a 60 year old female patient with pain abdomen over 4 years duration, located in the lower abdomen which was insidious in onset and colicky in nature lasting for 15 to 30 minutes, which aggravated on taking food and relieved after passing st...

Mantle cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract presenting with multiple intussusceptions – case report and review of literature

BACKGROUND Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that originates from small to medium sized lymphocytes located in the mantle zone of the lymph node. Extra nodal involvement is present in the majority of cases, with a peculiar tendency to invade the gastro-intestinal tract in the form of multiple lymphomatous polyposis. MCL can be accurately diagnosed...

Adult intussusception--a surgical dilemma.

BACKGROUND Adult intussusception is rare. It is expected to be found in 1/30,000 of all hospital admissions, 1/1300 of all abdominal operations, 1/30-1/100 of all cases operated for intestinal obstruction and one case of adult intussusception for every 20 childhood ones. METHODS The authors encountered 4 cases of adult intussusception. M:F ratio was 1:1. Mean age was 47years. Small bowel obst...
