“…Local excision is indicated when complications develop (14). Previous reported cases of terminal ileal NLP were all diagnosed after emergent surgery for complications such as intestinal bleeding, recurrent intussusception, abdominal pain, recurrent diarrhea and intestinal obstruction (10,14). This is the first case of NLP in the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve identified before surgery by capsule endoscopy.…”
