BACKGROUNDPolyps of the intestine are common specimens and do not have symptoms unless they cause obstruction or bleed. 1 There are many types of intestinal polyps. Among all polyps, most frequently occurring are adenomatous polyps. Adenomas are considered precursor lesions to invasive carcinoma. Colorectal cancer stands second to lung cancer as the most common cause of cancer mortality. The basic aim of management of patients with adenomatous polyps in the large bowel remains to prevent the development of cancer by detection and removal of precancerous lesions.The objective of this study is to classify intestinal polyps and identify prevalence of each morphologic type. To study the gross and histopathological features and to correlate with clinical data.

Jejunal intussusception: a rare cause of an acute abdomen in adults

2014

Abdominal pain secondary to intussusception is a common presentation in the paediatric population but rare in adults. Diagnosis is often difficult due to non-specific signs and symptoms. Adult intussusception presents more insidiously with intermittent abdominal pain and signs and symptoms of an acute abdomen are rare. In children, the aetiological factor is usually idiopathic, whereas intussusception in adults is more commonly due to an underlying pathology giving rise to a lead point. Consequently the treatment of choice is different-while it is supportive in children, surgical management is typically indicated in adults. In addition, the causes of a lead point precipitating adult intussusception are different depending on whether they arise from the small or large bowel. This report presents a case of jejunal intussusception in a 30-year-old man with a characteristic CT scan who required exploratory laparotomy and small bowel resection.

“…Exploratory laparotomy is frequently recommended as the best treatment for intussusceptions caused by inflammatory fibroid polyps. The lesions seem to lack malignant potential, and polyp recurrence has only been reported once [21].…”

Ileoileal intussusceptions caused by inflammatory fibroid polyps are uncommon. Inflammatory fibroid polyps (Vanek's tumor) are rare benign lesions that originate in the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we report the case of a 54-year-old woman who was admitted with an acute onset of abdominal pain and signs of intestinal obstruction. The ileal segment was resected, and single-layer end-to-end anastomosis was performed. A submucosal polypoid mass measuring approximately 4.5 × 4.0 cm was found. The histopathological analysis revealed an ulcerated mucosal lesion with variable cellularity that was formed by spindle cells with slight mitosis and abundant inflammatory infiltrate that was mainly composed of eosinophils. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of ileal inflammatory fibroid polyps. Cross-sectional imaging (multidetector computed tomography) plays a significant role in diagnosing this condition and guiding its management.
