Ultrasonographic diagnosis of adult intussusception caused by pedunculated colon carcinoma.

چکیده
Adult intussusception is clinically rare. We report a case with colon intussusception caused by a pedunculated polyp of the sigmoid colon in a 54-year-old male. Abdominal ultrasonographic screening for hematochezia showed intussusception in the sigmoid colon, demonstrating a multiple concentric ring sign and a mobile leading colon polyp. Histological examination of a biopsy specimen of the polyp revealed adenoma. This report suggests that ultrasound imaging is a modality of choice for differential diagnosis of intestinal intussusception with hematochezia in adults.

Colonic intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults and is caused by a malignant lesion in about 70% of cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential. We present a 64-year-old male patient with right colonic intussusception caused by a mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC), presenting as a giant pedunculated polyp (54 mm of largest diameter). The patient under...

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...

and successfully treated using endoscopic submucosal dissection Adult intussusception represents 5% of all cases of intussusception, and accounts for 1% of all cases of bowel obstruction [1]. Due to the significant risk of malignancy associated with this condition, with neoplasia found in approximately 65% of cases [2], intussusception in adults is treated by surgery, and in most cases cancer i...
متن کاملA Case of Giant Lipoma Causing Chronic Recurrent Intussusception of the Colon
Colonic lipomas, which often occur in elderly women, usually have small size and occur mainly in the cecum and ascending colon. Most colonic lipomas are asymptomatic and identified incidentally at the time of endoscopy or surgery. However, they may cause symptoms such as bleeding, obstruction or intussusception as their size increases. Intermittent episodes of intussusception are uncommon but m...
