BACKGROUND Intussusception is defined as a segment of the gastrointestinal tract and mesentery within the lumen of an adjacent segment. It is a rare condition in adults that can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the rectum. Only 5% of all intussusceptions are presented in adults, and in 1-5% of all cases of intestinal obstruction. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumo...

Intussusceptions are rare but well-known causes of the small bowel obstruction in adults and an underlying cause is present in the majority of cases. Lymphoma's involvement of the ileum is one of the rare causes of intussusception. CT is a sensitive examination that diagnoses intussusceptions and provides an excellent pre-operative evaluation including possible extension and dissemination espec...

Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is generally asymptomatic and found incidentally. It can act very rarely as a leading point for intussusception. Thus, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of the mass lesions leading to the intestinal intussusception. Herein, we report an unusual case of HP as a cause of ileocolic intussusception.

Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentations in the mouth, facial skin, hands & feet. Small bowel obstruction, intussusception, bleeding, intestinal and extra-intestinal malignancies are the major complications of PJS. The aim of this study is to analyze the clinical characte...

Abstract Colonic lipomas are benign tumours, most commonly in the right colon or caecum, usually detected incidentally at colonoscopy and often asymptomatic not requiring treatment. Lipomas leading to intussusception have previously been described case reports, but it remains a rare occurrence, no specific incidence data has documented. We present of patient with 7cm colonic lipoma that develop...

Palabras clave: Laparoscopia. Intususcepción. Cáncer de colon. Adult intussusception is a relatively rare condition. It accounts for 1% of patients with bowel obstruction and 5-10% of all intussusceptions. We describe a case of adult intussuscep-tion of the sigmoid colon caused by malignancy which was successfully treated by laparoscopic resection. A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital...

Introduction Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor found in gastrointestinal tract. Most lymphangiomas can occur at any age and but mostly are found in children and infants. They are mainly due to malformation of the lymphatic system. They occur mainly in the head, neck and oral cavity, but less commonly develop in the abdominal cavity. Colonoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography are frequently us...

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma is the most frequent malignant neoplasia of the kidney accounting for 90 % of all renal solid tumors. Metastases from renal cell carcinoma are rarely located in the small bowel and generally their clinical presentation includes bleeding and obstruction. Intussusception in adults is an extremely rare pathological condition and only 30 to 35 % of small bowel intuss...

BACKGROUND Intestinal intussusception in adults is associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, abdominal tumors or previous abdominal surgery but most often of unknown origin. AIM The aim of our study was to evaluate circumstances and identify risk factors for intussusceptions. METHODS All 65,928 abdominal ultrasound examinations performed at our tertiary medical cen...
