Lipohyperplasia of the Ileocecal Valve Mimicking Malignant Neoplasm on CT: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
common benign entity in which excessive deposition of adipose tissue in the submucosal layer of the IC valve, leads to thickening and outpouching of the valve in the cecum. Narrowing of the lumen is also sometimes observed. The condition is the most common cause of prominent or enlarged IC valve (1, 2), other causes being lipoma, lymphoma, idiopathic edema, or edema associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Although a number of reports have described lipohyperplasia of the IC valve, its CT findings mimicking malignant neoplasm, have not, as far as we know, been discussed (3-6). We report a case in which contrast-enhanced CT scanning revealed lipohyperplasia of the IC valve and cecum mimicking malignant neoplasm.
