Pancreatic Heterotopia in an Ileal Lipoma - A Pathological Rarity Causing Intestinal Obstruction
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Adult intussusception is a rare entity. In adults, 90% have a cause for intussusception which is usually a polyp, adenoma, adhesion, hamartoma, or tumor as a lead point. Rarely described is heterotopic pancreatic tissue with lipoma as a lead point. Here, we report a case of a 35-year-old male patient who presented with diffuse abdominal pain for 1 day. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed intussusception involving distal small bowel loops at two levels with obstruction of ileal loops between the intussusception. Histopathology of the specimen showed heterotopic pancreatic tissue with submucosal lipoma. A comprehensive review on this rare entity is attempted.
