“…The most frequent symptoms when located in the stomach are abdominal pain and gastrointestinal bleeding (1,8) . When they are in the colonic region, they can also generate bloody stools, weight loss, diarrhea, and anemia (9) , as in the present case that generates significant bleeding with hemodynamic instability. It can also generate complications such as acute abdomen secondary to intussuception or intestinal obstruction (3,10) .…”

“…In ileocolic and colocolic intussusception in adults' possibility of cancer can be expected in 43-100% of cases, however, recent studies in these cases suggests primary resection. Surgical resection is recommended treatment of adult intestinal invagination of the intestinal segments involved, which was performed in our case, and this was curative with no longstanding complication [17,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

Introduction: Inflammatory fibrinoid polyps or Vanek's tumor, are rear, uncommon, non-neoplastic cause of intussusception of gastrointestinal tract in adults. Case Presentation:We report a 56-year-old woman with 30-day hystory of intermittent abdominal pain associated with flatulence. Abdominal examination showed diffuse tenderness to palpation, especially in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen with a muscular defense. By digito-rectal examination the presence of feces, mucus even blood was not detected. Abdominal X-ray examination of the abdomen showed obstruction of the small intestine with multiple aerocolic levels positioned centrally with no signs of pneumoperitoenum. Abdominal ultrasound showed a hypoechoic, circular tissue mass 90 x 50 mm in diameter at the end of the dilated terminal ileum, and also showed hyperechoic focal liver lesion in diameter 55 x 50 mm. After preoperative preparation urgent transumbilical laparotomy was done and the ileocecal intussusception was found. It is preformed right colectomy with ileo-transvezo anastomosis. The segment of bowel containing the lesion was resected. Macroscopically examination of resected segment, showed tissue lesion, diameter of 115 x 52 mm. Histopathological analysis showed lesion with spindle cells and an mixed inflammatory infiltrate with many eosinophils. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of ileal Vanek's tumor. Conclusion:Although inflammatory fibroid polyps are rare, benign, uncommon, and non-neoplastic cause of intussusception in adults, in the case of intestinal obstruction the only solution is a surgical approach and resection of the intestinal segments involved.

“…Involvement of the colon in this disease is infrequent. However, reports of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the proximal colon, particularly those of the cecum, have increased due to recent advances in and widespread use of colonoscopy examinations [ 12 ]. Pathologically, an inflammatory fibroid polyp is characterized by blood vessels, fibroblasts, and an edematous stroma rich in eosinophils [ 13 ].…”

We describe two cases of leiomyoma in the colon that were diagnosed histologically after endoscopic resection. The first case was a 79-year-old Japanese woman who presented with a pedunculated polyp of 14 mm length at the splenic flexure. Preoperative diagnosis suggested a colonic mucosubmucosal elongated polyp. The second case was a 29-year-old Japanese woman who presented with a pedunculated polyp of 40 mm length at the hepatic flexure and had an ulcer on top of the polyp. Preoperative diagnosis suggested an inflammatory fibroid polyp. A pathological diagnosis of colonic leiomyoma was made after endoscopic resection in both cases. Both tumors were confirmed to originate, not from the proper muscle layer, but from the muscularis mucosae. These cases underscore that although colonic involvement is infrequent, leiomyomas can display pedunculated morphology in the colon rather than the typical gross appearance of gastrointestinal submucosal tumors seen with sessile morphology.
