چکیده

Multiple myeloma (MM) or Kahler’s disease is a malignant neoplasia of the lymphoplasmocyte lineage, characterized by uncontrolled and progressive proliferation of an abnormal plasmocyte clone within the bone marrow (BM) with subsequent production of monoclonal immunoglobulin. On the other hand, focal plasmocyte tumors (plasmocytomas) with formation of tumorous masses without medullary involvement may rarely affect the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and are denominated solitary extramedullary plasmocytomas. The main extramedullary site of plasmocytoma is the jejunum. We report a patient who presented with jejunal plasmocytoma and emphasize the importance of the double-balloon endoscope for diagnosis of the lesion. 2

A Case of Neuroendocrine Malignant Tumor with Capsule Retention Diagnosed by Double-Balloon Enteroscopy

The diagnosis of neuroendocrine malignant tumor in the small bowel is difficult [J Oncol 2008;2008:212067]. It is usually found intraoperatively during intestinal resection and confirmed by subsequent histological examination. We reported a case of jejunum neoplasm which was misdiagnosed as Crohn's disease by capsule endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy was stuck in the jejunum stricture and was remove...

Efficacy of the Pediatric Colonoscope Used as a Push Enteroscope

Numerous advances have recently been made in endoscopy for both diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. However, these advances have taken little account of the small bowel, as access by endoscopy is often difficult. With the advent of push endoscopy in 1971, the proximal jejunum could be examined to about 50 cm from the ligament of Treitz. The subsequent introduction of videoendo...

Double-Balloon Enteroscopy to Remove a Strangulated Enteroclysis Catheter from the Small Bowel

We present the case of a 77-year-old male who was referred for magnetic resonance (MR) enteroclysis because of small bowel subobstruction. To optimise small bowel distention during MR, a nasojejunal balloon catheter was placed to perfuse iso-osmotic water solution into the small bowel. However, after deflation of the balloon, the catheter could not be removed by gentle traction. Subsequently, c...

Successful Removal of a Screw Nail in the Jejunum Using Double-Balloon Enteroscopy

The vast majority of foreign bodies (FBs) that enter the stomach pass through the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously. When the FB enters the small bowel-beyond the reach of conventional endoscopy-daily radiographs are needed to ensure its safe passage. However, endoscopic intervention is an appropriate management strategy for a sharp-pointed FB, because sharp FBs have a higher risk of intesti...
