Intestinal Lymphonodular Hyperplasia of Childhood

Duodenal bulb nodularity: an endoscopic sign of cow's milk protein allergy in infants?

“…1 LNH of the colon related to food allergy has been described in children who presented with hematochezia. 2 To our knowledge, our study is the first to report on LNH of the duodenal bulb in infants with CMPA, and it highlights the finding of duodenal bulb nodularity as an endoscopic sign of food allergy similar to that observed in older children. 1 However, the observation of duodenal LNH alone cannot be considered as diagnostic of food allergy.…”

“…1 Reports of intestinal lymphonodular hyperplasia (LNH) in children usually refer to colonic or ileal LNH, 2 and we are unaware of any reports on the significance of duodenal LNH in infants. We report an association between LNH of the duodenal bulb and CMPA in infants with previous diagnoses of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) who subsequently experienced hematemesis and required upper endoscopy.…”

An ileal hyperplastic polyp comorbidity in the case of acute appendicitis

“…Hereditary hamartomatous polyps and mainly hereditary adenomatous polyposis have malign transformation potential and may be seen together with extraintestinal benign and malign neoplasms. [4][5][6] Although intestinal polypoidal nodular hyperplasia can be seen in all age groups, they are more common in pediatric age groups. [6] Rectal and ileocecal intestinal segments are the most common sites.…”
